Make Your Accomplishments Seem Effortles

This is the law of power number 30, Make Your Accomplishments Seem Effortless. This could make a dramatic impressive in the mind of others whho look it. Here is a nice story from Observance of the Law:
Sen no Rikyu was an important tea master and adviser on aesthetic and political matters to the Emperor Hideyoshi. He despised hosts who looked like they were trying to hard. Cha-no-yu, or the Japanese tea ceremony, is an art form, from the preparation to the serving; the whole process must look natural and easy. Accidental grace and beauty were Rikyu’s specialty. On the night before the Emperor was to visit him for a tea ceremony, he artfully laid cushions in the snow on each stepping-stone to his house. In the morning, he removed the cushions revealing the pattern of the stepping-stones like a perfect mold within the snow. This was just one of Rikyu’s clever aesthetic tricks which impressed the Emperor, never calling attention to the work gone into it, but implying a polite gesture in itself.

Practically, this Law of Power -30 tell us to conduct such these:

What imitates nature by appearing effortless and natural approximates nature’s power.
Never show your work until it is finished. When people see the effort and time it takes to make it, and if they witness a work-in-progress, the magic of the finished piece is spoiled.
