Bribes and lies work if you're sure that what you want is to get what you want from other people. Unforturnately, when you're getting rewarded for bribing and lying, you lose touch with what is authentic in yourself. This makes you an easy target for being manipulated by lies and bribes.
Are you sure that what you REALLY want is something you can get from other people by any means whatsoever? Are you sure it's not already in your own treasury?
As someone once said, "It's more of a blessing to give than to receive."

Be the kind of person who people want to help: kind, generous, unselfish, putting the needs of others first. Then when you do have a need or want, people will want to give back to you because you have always been so wonderful. Do onto others as you would have them do onto you.

Being nice and genuine is the best way. Honesty and being specific about what you want.

You have to state your needs, be willing to compromise/negotiate and treat others the way you wish to be treated.
