“I’m not supposed to let you in,” Jesper said.
Brekker seemed unperturbed. “Why not?”
“Because every time I do, you ask me to break the law.”
A voice from behind Jesper said, “The problem isn’t that he asks, it’s that you always say yes.”
LAW 1: NEVER OUTSHINE THE MASTER
Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite—inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.
LAW 2:
Law of the Wolves
NOW this is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky,
And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
