Unless you're in an early seventies-era Eagles cover band, a founding member of a religious cult, or sleeping under a bridge in Seattle, lose the beard and get a haircut. Power doesn't have time for any form of hirsute hipster self expression.

About This Quote

Do not let your desire to express yourself with facial hair cause you to step outside of conventional norms. When people are in power, they are surrounded by people who are subservient to them. If they are bearded, it is clear that they are not in power. They are outsiders, and thus cannot be trusted.

People may also believe that the power you have over them is based on your appearance, but that is not always the case. People can be naturally or naturally-occurring beautiful without being beautiful because of their facial hair. The more you blend in with the rest of the crowd, the less power you will have over them.
