Understanding Crowd Dynamics

As Black Falcons, one of the things you always have to do is put yourself out there, and build a strong social circle that will help you pursue your ambitions. But here’s the catch: you must be able to hold a crowd. Otherwise, even if you can get a large social circle around you, it will slowly diminish until it eventually disappears.

So how do you hold a crowd? Believe it or not, it is actually a lot simpler than it sounds. Here are the reasons why people would join a social circle:

They Want to Feel Safe

When a person is alone in the world, the world often looks like a dangerous place. This is because deep down, people feel week when they’re along by themselves. So they would want to align themselves with a crowd of people. This way, they would feel more at ease with themselves.

They Want to Feel Important

Gangs, cults, and terrorist organizations have always found ways of gathering huge followings, even though a lot of their followers knew the consequences of aligning themselves with these organizations. But they still join the organizations, and would even convince themselves that they have made the right choice. This is because they want to feel important, and by joining these organizations, they feel that they are taking part in something bigger than they are.

They are Seeking Love and Friendship

All people, even us Black Falcons, seek connection with other human beings. So it’s no surprise that people would enter into social circles because they are looking for love and connection from others. The more a group makes them feel like they belong there, the more likely they would stay within a group.

The Group can Help Them Achieve Their Goals

We Black Falcons are always seeking to expand our social network to help us achieve their goals, so it’s no surprise that others are doing the same. People will join a group or organization if they feel that it can help them achieve their goals. This is, however, the least effective way to build your social network. Unless your group also offer other values, people would simply take what they want, and leave.

They Like to Feel That They’ve Accomplished Something

All of us have the aspirations to achieve something with our lives. That’s why people would join charity organizations, and give their time without pay. An example of this is the Red Cross, which was founded in 1863 and is still a powerful organization even to this date. People are more likely going to join, and stay in an organization with a strong mission statement, and include everyone in an effort to achieve a common goal.

They Want to Have Fun

Finally, people want to be entertained. They are drawn to exciting group dynamics, and want to have a fun time when they’re out and about. It goes without saying that the more fun people have with a group, the more likely they will come back.

Start building your social circle by first joining some successful organizations, and learn how the social dynamics work there. Once you are familiar with interacting with a crowd, building your own circle will come naturally.

Training Your Hunting Skills

As Black Falcons, our survival depends on our superior hunting abilities. We are the Black Falcons because we can swiftly seek out, and hunt down our targets. That’s why, as a Black Falcon, you must keep training and sharpening your abilities. This way, when the right opportunity comes, you’ll be able to take advantage of it and achieve your goals

Of course, all of us have different goal, and we each require a unique skill of our own to hunt down our target. But having said that, there are five ways you can start sharpening your abilities, and prepare you for your goals.

Research and Strategizing

In the wild, Black Falcons would study their prey from out of sight, and attack at precisely the right moment. Here in this world, we Black Falcons need to be able to study our target from a distance, and grasp the right opportunities before anyone else to achieve our dreams. But how do you do it?

Luckily, Black Falcons of today have access to almost any information in the world. So as you are preparing yourself for your ultimate goals, you must first start collecting all the information related to them. Eventually, you will start noticing patterns, and start forming strategies to attaining your goals

Building Your Social Circle

We live in a world surrounded and governed by people. In fact, a lot of the resources we need are being controlled by others. The only way to get them, therefore, is with the right connection. For this reason, you must start building up your social circle. Only then can you secure the connections you need to various resources.

The information age has produced many social media networks for you to meet and connect with others. But technology is merely a tool to help you strengthen the relationships you build. You must also actively go out, and meet people. Only then will you make friends who will give you whatever support you need to accomplish your dreams.

Gaining a Competitive Edge

As Black Falcons, our goals are usually ambitious and unique. However, there are other hunters roaming the sky with us as well, and if they happen to have targets very similar to ours, we would just have to compete with them, and win.
The best way to ensure your victory is to be able to pursue your goals better than everyone else. Therefore, you must do everything you can to ensure that you can outperform everyone else. Some ways to do this are getting information that no one else has access to, gaining superior skills, and hunting down smaller competitors to gain strengths against stronger competitors.

Have the Resources You Need

We Black Falcons have very ambitious goals, and to pursue these goals, we need the right resources. Usually this means money. Sometimes, though, money is not enough, in which case, some resources that may come in handy are social status, people with special skills, and the proper rights and licenses.
You will learn how to become an effective gatherer of resources soon, but the one thing you must do right now is know exactly what resources you need to pursue your life’s purpose, and start immediately on acquiring them. This way, when the right opportunity comes, you will be able to pursue them.

Gaining Authority in Your Field

As Black Falcons, it is in our nature to hunt down our targets because we know we can. To get that, though, we must come out as assume more powerful and more dominant roles. The more power you have, the more likely you’ll succeed.
When you’re first starting out, you can start acquiring authority by aligning yourself with powerful and influential individuals. You must then learn to interact with them as equals. Once you do that, start using your influences to build more power. You will learn this interaction in more detail at a later post.

So good luck, Black Falcons, and happy hunting.

Round of Applause for Ben Bernanke

Black Falcons are both natural survivalists, and ambitious hunters. So to be a Black Falcon, a person will need to be able to solve the problems at hand, and at the same time, aim their goals for something greater.

Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke demonstrated these characteristics of a Black Falcon.

In a recent press conference, Mr. Bernanke laid out the plans he and the Federal Reserve has initiated to recover the economy. But he does not stop there. He looks ahead, and predicts that America is going to come back stronger than before the recession.

"I don't think we'll ever completely eliminate financial crises, but there are ways to make sure one this severe never happens again," Bernanke said. "We need to have a council or group of regulators that look at the financial system as a whole and look for gaps. And 'too big to fail' has to go."

"The silver lining in this whole thing is that people are starting to save more, since they saw what happened with 401(k) investments," Bernanke said. "People are adopting good habits, so not only will we will be back on track, but the economy will be stronger than it had been before this started."

It is easy to blame the people on top, like Mr. Bernanke, for job losses and the financial crisis. But it takes a true Black Falcon to take the heat of these blames, and still has the strength to keep going. But Mr. Bernanke not only took the criticism, but also accepts the blame from his audience

"We were late in addressing the subprime lending problem," Bernanke admitted. "We put together a set of rules that apply to all lenders, and I hope that solves the problem, but those weren't in place early enough. We have to take some heat for that, I think that's appropriate."

Even Warren Buffett jumps in to praise Mr. Bernanke. According to him, the United States has a good team leading the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve as it fights what he’s called an economic war. He even went so far to say that he can’t see how the nation could do better than Ben Bernanke as Federal Reserve chairman.

So give Mr. Bernanke a round of applause, Black Falcons.

He deserves it

Choosing a Target

Black Falcons are not only amazing survivalists, but they are also extraordinary hunters. Because of it, they don’t wander around aimlessly. Instead, they always have a plan, and a reason of doing what they do. As a Falcon, the first thing you must always know what you want. Only then can you form the strategies needed to achieve them.

Of course, Black Falcons set goals a little differently than most people. For starters, Black Falcons would set goals to meet three of their basic needs:

Survival

Growth

Ambitions

Also, Black Falcons have a very distinct process of setting goals:
Because of their nature, they need a reason for survival. So when they first receive their calling, they would set a goal, defining their purposes in life. They would then devote their lives to fulfill their purposes.

But life rarely goes as planned. Soon, Black Falcons will encounter obstacles in their lives, and they would feel as though they are not making any progress pursuing their dreams. So at this point, Black Falcons will first need to take care of their survival. They would then create goals to solve the immediate problems in their lives.

Still, being the ambitious creatures we are, Black Falcons will never settle for survival. Our ambitions are the reasons of our survival. So after a point, we will start pushing ourselves, and create goals that are beyond the needs of our survival. This is the point you, as a black falcon, will start getting new challenges in your life, and in return, you will start gaining new skills, making more money, and living better lives.

The faster you can move from survival to growth, the faster you can start pursuing your dreams. Never settle for comfort, like the rest of the creatures that walk this earth.

We are the Black Falcons, the noble creatures that soar within a sky that has no boundaries.

Flying Together

Black Falcons are strong, noble creatures. They are independent hunters, who often refuse to cooperate with others, thinking that their superior skills means that they don’t need to rely on anyone.

Nothing can be further from the truth.

Remember, we live in a world filled with people. Whatever your goals are, there is probably someone with goals very similar to yours. Not only that, but these people may have the resources, the skills, or even the people they need to back them up. If you cannot overpower them, they will take your dreams away from you.

So this is the part where you make a choice:

You can choose to keep gaining new skills, new resources, and try to outwit your competitor by yourself. But chances are, you will spend so much time trying to improve yourself that you won’t even have time to pursue your goals.

Or you can fly together with other falcons. We are the perfect hunters, with the skills, the resources, and the ambitions you need to succeed. If the Black Falcons unite together, we will form a powerful and unstoppable force. When that happens, we will achieve something no individual falcon can achieve. We will become a powerful organization that can get whatever we want, and no one will be able to stop us.

So here are a few things you can do today to ally yourself with other Black Falcons.

1. Find other Black Falcons: There are a lot of Black Falcons in the world, but many of them haven’t received their calling yet. They haven’t realized that Black Falcon is who they’re meant to be. Find them, and reveal yourself to them. If they are truly Black Falcons, they will come to your side.

2. Become a gatherer: Right now, with the world being the way it is, Black Falcons are scattered all over the world. Build up your circle of Falcons with a common vision. You will gain enormous power in the process.

3. Merge with other gatherings: When you meet other Black Falcon gatherings, merge together in a powerful alliance. During this time, the gatherer will represent the vision of their gathering, and form a circle of Black Falcon gatherers. This circle, of course, represents the power the organization now holds.

We may be dormant now, but we are all around you. So take initiative. The day will soon come when the Black Falcons will become a powerful group of skillful masterminds, and others will watch us with envy.

Skills of a Black Falcon

The most important characteristic that defines a black falcon is his strong will and ambition. But just like in nature where black falcons rely on their wings and claws to survive, we Black Falcons of society need to rely on our superior skills.

Here are the essential skills of a Black Falcon:

Ability to Strategize

To be a successful hunter, black falcons have learned to keep themselves out of sight, only attacking when they know they can take their prey down. We Black Falcon need to have such a strategic mind, and have the ability to come up with whatever strategy needed to achieve victory.

Ability to Influence the Minds of Others

We live in a world made by people, and the more ambitious our goals are, the more people we need win over. That’s why, as a Black Falcon, you always have to have a network of people at your fingertips. You also need to have the ability to assess the moods, and interpret the thoughts of others. This way, you can motivate them to help you achieve your goal.

Self Defense Skills

Black Falcons are unique, and like all things unique, there will always be those trying to bring us down. Our ability to strategize gives us an edge over them, but we never know how they’re going to try and attack us. Self defense skills will give you the mental and body discipline you need protect yourself, and come out victorious from the worst possible situations

Wealth Management Skills

We live in a world run by money, and currency has become a definition for power. In order to be successful as a Black Falcon, and achieve your goals, you must be able to establish yourself financially. If you can do that, you’ll be able to live the life you’ve always envisioned for yourself, and focus your attention on acquiring your ambitions.

Ability to Learn Rules and Patterns

We all know the basic laws that dictate our survival in society. But there are also other laws, such as the rules of social dynamics, and cultural traditions that dictate our success or failure. As Black Falcon, you must be able to notice the rules governing the world around you, and use them to help you achieve your goals

There are many other skills that will become useful as you become more and more adept as a Black Falcon. But these basic skills will ensure your survival and success in the world.

The Five Pillars of a Black Falcon

There are many ways how black falcons are different from others around us.

While others cling onto their current life for security, we seek new life for freedom.

While others work so they have food to eat, and a place to sleep, we work to gain the resources we need to fulfill our dreams.

While others stay within the world they’re familiar with, we fly out to turn unfamiliar worlds into our hunting ground.

For most people, as long as they’re healthy, moderately wealthy, and have a mate they can depend on, they’ll be happy to continue on with their lives. But we Black Falcons want to do much more with our lives, and to do that, there are five pillars within us that we need to constantly build and support:

Intelligence:

Our lives are dangerous, and we survive, and succeed in it because we have the ability to outwit others around us. So as a black falcon, you must keep sharpening your wits. Stay informed, especially of what’s happening around us. Keep gaining new skills, and improve the ones you already have so you can maneuver freely in any territory. Most importantly, keep gaining new experiences, because that’s what will make you powerful.

Charisma:

We black falcons are majestic creatures who don’t need the glamorous outfit of peacocks to stand out. When others look at us with envy in their eyes, it is because we are such magnificent creatures naturally. So be confident, be edgy, and be charming. Let those qualities shine as you walk into the world, and start building a personal magnetism that will attract others to you.

Health:

Black Falcons are the perfect hunters, and we need a strong body to carry our will to the world. You must keep yourself active to keep your body strong, and free. You must also nourish your body by eating foods that help build your perfect body. The healthier you are, the more power you’ll have, and the more power you have, the freer you’ll be.

Wealth:

Black Falcons have high goals and ambitions, but we live in a material world, driven by money. We must, therefore, acquire enormous wealth. This way, we’ll have the resources to not only survive, but to build our dreams, whatever they are.

Self Discipline

Most people are controlled by their instincts, but we Black Falcons control our instincts. We are ambitious, driven, and motivated because these instincts help us get what we want in life. At the same time, we stay on top of our fear, weaknesses, and our inner darkness, only using them to get what we want in life.

Also, as you grow these pillars, remember to keep them in balance. This way, you will have the power you need to master your life, and the freedom to shape it, however you want.

The Law and Us

Before you embark upon the life of a black falcon, there is something you should keep in mind.

We black falcons are unique. We want to get what we want, do whatever we feel like, live by our own codes, and be who we are. But we’re living in a world with very strict rules called the Law, and it is designed to keep us in place. To be the black falcons we are, eventually we’ll cross paths with the law. The question then becomes, do we stay within its boundaries, or do we cross it?

First of all, if there’s anything you need to know about the law, it would be that the law is not perfect. It is filled with statements that contradict each other’s purpose, not to mention all the loopholes that come with it. In fact, the world is filled with people who use the law to serve their own benefits. So the first thing we need to learn, as black falcons, is how to protect ourselves from the law.

Start by becoming familiar with the law. As much as the law can be used against you, much of the law is actually designed for your benefits. If you understand the law, it can become a powerful tool for you.

You should also make sure you have adequate legal protection. Think of it as an insurance policy. There are people in the world who don’t want us to be who we are, and if they can, they will use any means possible to strike you down. A good lawyer can help fend off those attacks for you, and guide you out of difficult situations.

But as a Black Falcon, you have a different survival need than everyone else. Your pride is your livelihood, and your ambition is your drive. You must have the skills, the intelligence, and the power needed to out maneuver laws that try to take away your freedom. Your dreams, your purpose is too important to be washed away by some law.

Still, remember who we are. We’re not thieves. We’re not murderers, and we are not criminals. We’re above all that.

We’re black falcons, the majestic creatures who roam the world freely, and without apology.

Why a Black Falcon?

When human beings want to evolve, and become more than they currently are, they often borrow a powerful symbol to help them grow. That's why pretty much everything from lions to stars has once been used as a symbol for human beings' unlimited potential. That's why, in order to tap into this potential, and use it to live the life we love and are devoted to, we have adopted the symbol of a black falcon.

You may be wondering, why a falcon? Aren't there lots of other creatures to choose from? Why not become a lion, the king of the animal kingdom? Or the great white shark, the notorious hunter in the sea. Even the sky has bigger birds, like the eagles, roaming it? If we want to be above all others, why do we choose to be a falcon?

To answer that question, let's remember who we need to be. Sure, you need to be smart, cunning, and ambitious, so that you can hunt down and get what you want in life, like the powerful hunter you are. But above all else, you want to be free, and have the freedom to watch the world without restrictions. Neither lions nor the great white sharks can do this. As powerful as they are, as soon as they appear, others would usually run in fear. An eagle may be able to roam the sky, but because of their nature, they don't have their own sky, and while they can observe others from the sky, they themselves are observed.

Falcons, on the other hand, have the freedom that no one else has. Like eagles, they are swift hunters, and have the strong wings and claws needed to instantly hunt down their prey. But falcons can become part of their surroundings, and only make their presence known when they want to. They are also one of the smartest birds roaming the sky. That, coupled with an unmatched speed and agility, gives them the freedom to turn foreign environments, even the sky, into their hunting ground.

Falcons are also one of the few creatures that make their own rules in life. They do not nest like most other birds. Instead, they go wherever they want to go, and would nest in the old nests of other birds, or even in cliff ledges or in tree hollows.

As black falcons, we want to be smart, cunning, and powerful so that we can roam the world as the perfect hunters we are. But above all else, we want to be free, because only when we are free can we truly become a black falcon.

Declarations from the Black Falcon

If you believe in living a modest life, living day to day according to someone else’s rules, and always playing it safe, stop reading.

Life of a black falcon is dangerous. It’s about being the first ones to jump off a cliff, and diving head first into the ocean. It’s about laughing at the face of danger, and taking on challenges others are afraid of. It’s about knowing what you want, and getting it without hesitation. But most importantly, it’s about being free: free to do what you want. Free to go where you want to go. Free to be whoever you want to be.

Black falcons are cunning. As natural survivalists, they are always seeking new opportunities; gather new resources, and gaining new skills.

Black falcons are smart. They are creative in both planning, and executing their plans. They can maneuver in any tough situation, and know exactly how to achieve their victories.

Black falcons are ambitious. They will keep growing, and thriving, beyond their survival. In doing so, they are able to strengthen their wings, and achieve whatever they want in life.

Black falcons live by their own rules. They move through the world without apology, always staying one step ahead of everyone else. They are unique creatures that can do anything they set their minds to.

There are no tricks to becoming a black falcon. Sure, there are many useful tools that will help black falcons be black falcons. But you should only use these tools if you are ready. If you try to imitate a black falcon, instead of becoming one, these tools will turn on you, and you will pay a heavy price for trying to use them.

So how do you become a black falcon? You have to have guts, and determination. You have to start standing out, or even stepping out from your current life, and surround yourself with other black falcons. You have to be strong, smart, and cunning. But above all, you have to give everything you have to the life of a black falcon, and then some more.

There is an exciting new world waiting for you right now, and all you have to do is dive into it like a black falcon. So, are you ready?
