Where he formerly thought of keeping his tools sharp, he should now let them grow dull; surfaces that formerly were lubricated now should be sanded; normally diligent, he should now be lazy and careless; and so on.

Dove prima pensava a mantenere i suoi strumenti affilati, ora dovrebbe lasciarli diventare opachi; le superfici che prima erano lubrificate ora dovrebbero essere levigate con la carta vetrata; normalmente diligente, ora dovrebbe essere pigro e negligente; e così via.

Once he is encouraged to think backwards about himself and the objects of his everyday life, the saboteur will see many opportunities in his immediate environment which cannot possibly be seen from a distance.

Una volta che viene incoraggiato a pensare al contrario riguardo a se stesso e agli oggetti della sua vita quotidiana, il sabotatore vedrà molte opportunità nel suo ambiente immediato che non possono assolutamente essere viste da lontano.

A state of mind should be encouraged that anything can be sabotaged.

However, this man needs to be stimulated to re-orient his thinking in the direction of destruction.
