Power and influence are not mere traits or titles they are the essence of one's ability to shape the world around them.

Power is not just the capacity to make decisions or to command others-it is the force that bends reality to your will.

True power is subtle, not always visible, but always felt. It's the kind of power that doesn't need to announce itself, because those who possess it already know its presence.

It's the quiet strength that dictates the terms, the unyielding resolve that ensures outcomes align with your intentions.

And something I've wanted since I was a little boy

I wanted the biggest car when we played, I wanted to be the best boxer, footballer heck I wanted to be the best best friend, always needing to be the one in charge.

That desire for control and dominance has been with me for as long as I can remember. Now, after all these years, it's within my grasp, just as I always imagined it would be.

But , there's something I don't fully have my hands on yet and that's influence

the art of persuasion without force. It's the ability to guide others toward your desired outcome without them ever feeling pushed.

Influence is woven into the very fabric of relationships, built on respect, trust, and a reputation so formidable that people act in your favor almost instinctively.

It's a power that transcends direct control, reaching into the hearts and minds of others, shaping their actions through an unspoken understanding.

Like I said it's not fully in my grasp, and that's where People like Fedor Volkov come in , these concepts are not just present they are embodied. He doesn't need to exert force to command ,his mere presence is enough.

His power is in his ability to navigate the most complex situations with an ease that comes from deep knowledge and experience. Something I too am proud to have

But

I still lack some influence

His influence is in the way people react to his name alone.

That's what Fedor is ,power and influence, not as mere attributes, but as a living, breathing force that shapes the world in his image.

And I aspire to reach that level, he's basically my role model.

but don't let him hear that it will feed his ego too much

Which is why His involvement in my project is exactly the break I've been chasing, the key to taking everything to the next level.

I can't hide my satisfaction as I smile at Sergio, feeling a weight lift from my shoulders. We talk more about the business, discussing the finer details of the project, and naturally, Fedor comes up again and again.

Each mention of his name stirs the excitement within me shit I cant wait

finally, after all the waiting and effort, things are falling into place.
