By Blue Rose on Wednesday, 15 of April , 2009 at 9:49 pm

  • 1. Emptiness – the first requirement is to empty your mind of everything that does not pertain to your appointment to the position you seek. You must not have other goals, no other thoughts. You must concentrate on the desired appointment and meditate on it daily.Your time must also be empty. You must have the ability to wait however long it takes. You must see yourself in the post you desire and nowhere else. You are not going to take another job. If the appointment doe not come today, you will wait until tomorrow. If you don’t get the position this year, you will wait until next year.
  • 2. Boring In – you must seize every little opportunity to advance your prospects. When you find such an opportunity, you must try to enlarge it. If there are no opportunities, you must focus your thoughts on creating an opportunity. The image uses is of some hard objects pushing, probing, and boring away relentlessly.
  • 3. Self-Praise – you must constantly seek to bring your qualifications and importance to the attention of those who are in a position to help you.
  • 4. Flattery – you must ingratiate yourself with those who can help you. Flatter then to their faces. Praise them to others who will carry your words back tot hem.
  • 5. Threats – you must be very suitable with your threats, because you may unknowingly threaten people with great ability to do your harm. The threats should develop naturally out of your self-praise. Let you listener draw the conclusion that if you are so talented, it would be unfortunate if you were to end up in a rival ministry or even be appointed to a position of authority over him. If you are o well connected to important people, you might have the ability to make trouble for him if you are not accommodated.
  • 6. Bribery – there are two kinds of bribery. The first involves small gifts, meals, drinks. Often these small gifts create a sense of obligation far exceeding their cot. They should be given not only to the man who has the power to appoint you, but also to his relatives and friends. Large bribes are used to seal the appointment. They should also be given to those who have great influence with the official who has the power to appoint you.
