Step 7: Never Keep a Commitment Again-
The next time you make a promise, just remember that it really isn't a commitment. A promise is an agreement to do something but you reserve the right to change your mind without notifying the other party (aka The When it's Convenient Rule). And yes, it's OK to over-promise and under-deliver. The Convenient Rule still applies. When you tell someone you'd show up to a meeting or an engagement, remember that it's OK to change your mind, again, without the need to notify the other party. Commitments are so restrictive that you should allow yourself the flexibility to abide by or ignore them whenever you feel like it. What if others complain? They're just being insensitive to your 'spontaneity' and free spirit?.envious bastards.
Step 8: Blame it on the ISM-
The next time things don't go your way or you missed out on some promotion or raise, blame it on an "ISM". There are plenty to choose from. RacISM, SexISM, AgeISM, etc. Remember it's never your responsibility to be create wealth and opportunity. Someone should always look our for your because you've been handicapped (i.e., with an ISM) by the unfairness of society. Someone should also make amends and remunerations for your inconvenience should be made to you. Don't forge to always complain about how "the man" won't let you succeed. And always blame your failing on some corporate guy with a nice suite and tie. They're always guilty of something. They're all liars and cheats waiting to be exposed.
Bonus rule:
Step 9: It's Never Your Problem-
No matter how bad you perform or don't perform at all, it isn't your fault (Corollary to Rule 8). It's never your problem. It's always someone else's deal. And if you can't find a warm body to blame it on, use someone who's dead. Dead people are useful for blaming things on because they can't dismiss the accusation and you feel better since it isn't your fault. If you can't find any dead people to blame it on, use the ultimate trump card, the Universe (or Cosmos). Either one is good enough when it come to blame. Just blame your misfortune on some 'weird existential vibe' thing that can't be defined. And if someone doesn't believe you they're just being insensitive and ignorant of an existence on a 'much higher level' where you can't be held responsible.
Follow these nine rules and I guarantee you that you will lose your money and fake your destiny with GREAT SUCCESS.
