in #howto7 years ago

Good day steemians, my blog post is about Self Development and Life Skills. With Life Skills we develop stronger self esteems and become more confident. We also become more valuable to ourselves and others. I trust you will enjoy my topic for today.

Have you ever wondered how to be a great citizen? Here Eric Liu, describes our civil responsibilities in terms of how to generate and maintain our power.

What is power (basic definition)?

It is the ability to get others to do, what you would have them do.

What are the sources of power?

  1. Physical Force
  2. Wealth
  3. State Action (Laws & Bureaucracy)
  4. Social Norms
  5. Ideas
  6. Numbers

Laws of Power

Power is never static.
Power is fluid - like water.
Power compounds

Why accumulate power?

To be a better citizen.
Power + Character = Great Citizen
