Qin Shi Huang conquered China under his command.
\nHe was known as ruthless emperor.
\nMany people died because of his projects (Great Wall, Xian tomb, Panacea search).
\nBut only a few realize that he did the war to end all wars.
\nUnder his united kingdom, he created a standardized language.
\nGreat wall had protected China for centuries ahead.<\/p>\n
Many people hate George W. Bush for the mistake on Iraq.
\nBut from Iraq war, oil business are secured.
\nWeapons are sold.
\nUS firms got contracts to rebuild Iraq.
\nThis must make USA more prosper. Does it count as an achievement?<\/p>\n
We always wonder.. “It must be nice to become a manager, a company owner, a president of Indonesia.” So many things we can do with our power…<\/p>\n
But when you get there, we’ll find out that the limit is always matching our power.
\nThe more power, the more limit we have.
\nThe higher we are, the more interests are at stake.<\/p>\n
When we have a vision and find out that most of all people in our organization do not share that vision, or even go against it, what would we do?<\/p>\n
And sometimes these people are who are already with the organization for years, even since it was established. They’re known as the old wisemen. How could we make them enemies?<\/p>\n
To make things complicated, when we know capable and trusted friends, will we let them in? Even when people have rumor about your nepotism?<\/p>\n
Will we spend your time to try to get mass-awareness?
\nTo get ‘approval’ from everyone?
\nTo campaign ourselves?
\nOr simply, will we compromise our vision?<\/p>\n
Maybe Godfather teaches us the right thing… keep your enemy closer. Just focus on people who can damage your plan. Make them our friends if we can.<\/p>\n
Maybe Machiavelli was right. We must annihilate all people in our way as soon as we get your power. Do not waste time to compromise or get majority vote for our plan.
\nEven it makes us leaders that people are afraid of, rather than leader that people love.<\/p>\n
Sometime leaders are the most lonely person on earth…..
\nNobody understand them…..
\nThey cannot speak their minds freely.
\nSince people will build prejudice wall to what they say.
\nSince people will debate over words coming from their mouth.<\/p>\n
