Peter Principle

The principle that people will rise to the level of their own incompetence. People get promoted by being good, but not when they're lousy at their job. The Peter Principle states that people will be promoted until they enter a job that they are no good at, and there they will stay forever.

That's why every career manager is terrible at his job.
Bob made middle manager thanks to the Peter Principle.

Pornstar Principle

Lingling’s Principle

Rule of life that states “Whatever you do that you think you are good at, there is a 5 year old Asian who can do it 1,000 times better”.
I thought I could play the concerto the best, but due to Lingling’s principle, I was outdone greatly.

Principal Principle

The foremost rule of a brave, strong, and wise Commander in Chief:

Start no unnecessary war.
The Principal Principle of a great President, one who knows war or understands war and is dedicated to the safety and security of the American people, would be:

This is basic, fundamental.
