The One Up and the One Down

In the beginning there was Adam and Eve, you remember Adam bit into that apple. At which in that point in time the first loser was born. Yes, the pattern was set and the world divided. Not into male and female. No no no, that’s just a mire superficial division with minor importance. Another discretionary involved but there is something more basic and more profound. At that faithful moment the world was divided into winners and losers just like the realm of chess. Top men and Underdogs. In a word; The One Up and the One Down.

Ah yes… The clear cut question in your hungry eyes. You want to know what is Lifemanship. Well Gentlemen, Lifemanship is the science of being One Up on your opponents at all times. It is the art of making him feel that somewhere, somehow he has become less than you. Less desirable, less worthy…less blessed.Who then you ask are your opponents? Everybody in the world who is not you, and the purpose of a lifeman must be to be one up on them. Because mark this well, he who is not One Up is One Down.

College of Lifemanship (One-Up)

On the 16th of June at exactly 00:15 am, I clicked the button on my laptop and forth came this blog. It may not be one of the greatest economical burdens I have passed onto myself and nor do I look to benefit anything from it. However this course of action is not brought forward because I would like to show you pictures of my hometown or the girl next door. This blog isn’t going to give you the reader the right to snoop into my life. That job is primarily done by private investigators and freelancers or what others might refer to as stalkers. [*However a little following never hurt Sherlock but that is something we will get on to later] Instead of it being all about that malarkey, my blog will be about how individuals can become One-Up in various forms and diverse ways in life. I myself have a keen interest in personal succession and leadership. As you can see if you are from a democratic country except Iran and not have your Internet controlled like China, that Europe is at peace and the cold war is just clearly a memory and Camelot is now a famously named corporation, which provides us with the National Lottery. So where does the conflict still exist? It is hard to transcend … isn’t it. However at this current moment wherever you are you are being absorbed into it. The office or even maybe the bus stop or the sales assistance behind the counter who is stricken by the loss of her cheating bf she decides to give you an attitude. This is the new battleground my friend and read this carefully.

"If he is One who is not One-Up, then he my friend is One who is One-Down " Stephen Potter,One-Upmanship 1959

And being One-Up in aspects of life will give you presence in the crowd which only 1/10 of the population on earth pulse and vibrate on.

In essence my dream is to become an interviewer or even a maybe a talk show host to expand on this subject. I will try and post as much as my hands allow me to and I hope you enjoy my blog!
