Oh, and they also made us say Dont try this at home. (Instead try these techniques at work with your A-hole boss, and the next time youre trapped at the DMV with that bee-atch who you know is deliberately slow-walking you, and the next time you need to outsmart some would-be carjackin, pants saggin, economically underprivileged street punk who can quote you the stats, birthday, and the jock-strap size of every player on his favorite B-ball team but who cant seem to sit still long enough to get his GED!
We heartily disclaim all such people!

What Is Ultimate Controland How Can I Get Me Some of That?
The problem of power is really the fundamental problem of our time and will remain the basic problem of all future history.
Power and Human Destiny by Herbert Rosinski, 1965
U LTIMATE C ONTROL is all about power and, in todays namby-pamby politically correct world power is not only a scary word (its always been a scary word to some people) but power has also become a taboo wordif only because someone else is usually holding it over our heads, swinging it around like a bludgeon.
Why cant we be the ones exercising power for a change?
But in this day and age to even let on like wed like to have a little more power in our lives is to put ourselves into competition with othersperhaps those others more ruthless than we know how to be? Others definitely more dangerous.
Best instead to just keep a low profile, not stir up too much dust, not challenge the status quolest they (those with real powerperhaps Ultimate Power) come for us in the middle of the night or, worse yet, freeze our bank accounts!
Nietzsche taught that each of us has within us The Will to Power, an innate urge carved into our DNA that drives us towards our full potential as human beings, making us push against our walls. Of course, society does its best to breedand when necessary beatthis innate urge out of us.
Thus, if Nietzsche is to be believed, and that vague sense of dissatisfaction and longing you feel in the back of your mind (or perhaps in your gut) is to be listened to:
- You have power you dont know you have, power to effect positive change in yourself and those around you. (And maybe even those assholes in Washington!)
- Even if you suspect (or accept) that you do indeed have hidden reserves of untapped potential and power at your beck and call youre probably too afraid to exercise that power. Am I right?
What would the world be like today if Moses, Caesar, Napoleon, Einstein, or General George S. Patton had refused to acknowledge the power pumping through their veins?
And, yes, before we go down that road, the world might have been better off had Attila the Hun, Hitler and Osama bin Laden NOT one day realized the innateNature given and God approved!power surging through their veins.
But then, had there been no Hitler, there may have been no General George S. Patton. Had there been no Osama bin Laden there may have not been the heroes of 9/11, and the brave souls even today holding the line against chaos.
The power within you is a lot like the power to voteuse it or lose it. Because, sure as shootin, if you dont exercise your power to vote, somebody else will. Likewise, you might not be interested in gaining power but, rest assured (or, rather, rest uneasyvery uneasy!) there are many out there actively seeking powerpower over you, power over your loved ones. Ultimate Power.
It therefore behooves us to develop and learn to fully use the power we possess within, ideally to protect ourselves and better safeguard those we love from others ruthlessly wielding power for their own dark desires, their own sick and twisted designs.
Commanding Ultimate Control over your life, with the power to influence all those around you, is kinda like owning a gun. Just because you own a gun it doesnt mean youre gonna go all Dirty Harry postal one day. But, Heaven help you when the wolves (both the four-legged and the two-legged kind!) are barking at your door and all you have is a baseball bat to beat back those beasts.
Or perhaps you prefer a more civilized example? Think of acquiring Ultimate Control as being like getting your college degree. If you have a college degree, it opens doors. Whether you choose to go through those open doors is up to you. Its always nice to have options
And survival is always the nicest option to have!
So how do you go about gaining Ultimate Power?
You study those in days gone by who successfullyand, yes, often ruthlessly!gained power, first over self then over others. You study their lives, and you listen to their words: Hannibal the Conqueror, Machiavelli the Advisor, Sun Tzu the strategist, Stalin the MercilessMasters East and West, some honorable, some notall successful!
Napoleon rightly observed There are two powers in the world, the sword and the mind. In the long run the sword is always beaten by the mind.
If we accept this as so, it certainly evens out the playing field. Whereas, because of being born in the wrong place at the wrong time, possibly in the wrong skin color and sans a penis, we find that we cannot exercise the sword (i.e. blatant, perhaps bullying power), then we are left to move ahead through life by our wile and wit, our cunning and craftour mind.
The good news is, if you accept Napoleons assessment the meek might not survive long enough to inherit the Earth but, in the end, the mind is going to beat out the sword.
Ultimate Control comes from first gaining control of yourself. Control of self not only gives you the focus needed but also inspires others to follow your lead.
Ultimate Control is simply The Three KnowsKnow yourself, Know your enemy, Know your environmenttaken to the next level:
Knowing Yourself gives you Control over self.
Knowing Your Enemy grants you Control over others.
Knowing Your Environment paves the way for
