Tell the Perfect Lie

One of my first lessons at CIA was how to tell a lie without getting caught. Greetings Everyday Spy, One of my first lessons at CIA was how to tell a lie without getting caught. As much as society hates to admit it, lying is an incredibly important skill for everyday life: - Lies keep our family safe from strangers, stalkers, and scammers. - Lies help us win negotiations at work, in business, and when we buy a house, car, boat or RV. - Lies let us keep our feelings, fears, and frustrations hidden so we don’t lash out against spouses, children, and parents. CIA taught me that the most effective lies are only 5 degrees away from the truth. Lies are like a compass heading; 5 degrees off center may not seem like much at first, but it’s enough to make sure nobody finds the true destination. So if you lie about your age, make it plus-or-minus 5 years (not 10). If you lie about your income, make it plus-or-minus $10,000 (not $25,000). And if you lie to your kids about why you and mommy/daddy want to lock your door, tell them you are cleaning your room and remaking your bed (not ‘going to sleep’... cause sleep doesn’t squeak!) I have lots more examples to help you [master staying 5-degrees off the truth]( in this YouTube video I made for you. Lies don’t make you the bad guy. But bad lies can make you look like a fool.
