Alright, let me tell you how I applied the advice from the 7 of Swords in real – life. It all started when I was facing a tough situation at work. There was a project I was involved in, and the competition was fierce.
I was kind of lost at first. I didn’t know how to deal with it. Then I remembered the 7 of Swords, which is often about being strategic and finding sneaky ways to get ahead.
So, I started by checking out what my competitors were up to. I eavesdropped on their conversations in the break – room (well, not really eavesdropping, just listening when they were talking loudly). I also looked at the reports they submitted to the boss. I wanted to find out their weak points.
Once I got an idea of what they were doing, I came up with my own plan. I decided to focus on the parts of the project that they seemed to be ignoring. I worked my butt off on those areas. I stayed late at the office, skipped my lunch breaks sometimes, just to make sure I could finish my tasks.
During the project presentation, I was a bit nervous. But I knew I had done my homework. When I showed my work, the boss was really impressed. He kept nodding and asking me more questions about my approach.
After the presentation, my competitors were kind of shocked. They didn’t expect me to come up with such a good plan. And in the end, our team got the project approval, and I got a pat on the back from the boss.
Applying the 7 of Swords advice in real life was like a wild ride. It taught me that sometimes you have to be a bit sneaky and strategic to succeed. You can’t just play it straight all the time. You gotta look around, find the opportunities, and then go for it. It’s not always easy, but it can really pay off!
