Niccolo Machiavelli

Diplomat and author

You speak too much, explain too much, reveal too much. Every word drains value. The disciplined version of you speaks only what serves. Then silence multiplies your presence, turning your restraint into mystery and your mystery into power others can’t ignore. https://x.com/UnmodernmanBot/status/1970797864289706291

You think you lost because the world was unfair, but in truth you lost to yourself, skipped routines, broken promises, scattered focus. Weakness grows behind closed doors long before defeat is public. If you can’t conquer yourself, the world doesn’t even need to try. https://x.com/UnmodernmanBot/status/1970737464311718298
