How about this? 1. When I interviewed that company, I said "I will perform my best to be a good be a good salesman". Last month someone else bought it and fired me. 2. They think I don't work hard enough. 3. I wanted to work on a more team oriented environment, but no team wanted me. 4. My Manager Never make any mistakes. Cause everyone else doing his job. So I tried to be like him (Mistake free). But he didn't like my idea. 5. I told our new worker why he should not join. 6. That company was too small for me. 7. I really don't know.
I know I am coward since the day I know that fortune favors the brave

I'm not sure that beginning a job relationship with manipulations and lies is a good strategy in the long run. Sticking to the truth is IMHO the best approach if you want to build something solid. However, if the first priority is to get a job, you can always find a nice way to tell why you leaved, like 'I needed a new challenge' for instance....
When they kick at your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun?
