Book Summary Law 1:   Never outshine the master Make your masters appear more brilliant  than they are and you will attain the heights of power When it comes to power,  outshining the master is perhaps the worst mistake of all . Never take your position for granted and never let any favors you receive go to your head. Law 2:   Never put too much trust in friends, learn how to use enemies But  hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend , because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them Since honesty rarely strengthens friendship, you may never know how a friend truly feels.  Friends will say that they love your poetry, adore your music, envy your tast
