How to Win the Hearts of People Like Liu Bei?

How to Win the Hearts of People Like Liu Bei?

Liu Bei is today revered as a deity in China.  During the Three Kingdoms period (184 to 280), Liu Bei was one of the 3 Emperors of the 3 kingdoms.  

Liu Bei was a great man, not because he was rich and famous, but because he truly cared for people.  He always put people's interests above his.  

While Liu Bei was in Pingyuan, a resident named Liu Ping had since long held Liu Bei in low esteem so was ashamed of having to serve under him. 

Liu Ping hired an assassin to kill Liu Bei. However, Liu Bei didn't realize his intention and treated him generously, so much so that the assassin could not bring himself to kill him and informed Liu Bei before he left. 

Such was the extent to which Liu Bei had won the hearts of the people. 

Pingyuan was poor so people were starving and they banded together to commit robbery. Liu Bei externally guarded against bandits and internally he generously carried out economic measures. He would make persons who ranked beneath the elite sit on the same mat and eat from the same pot. 

He felt no cause to be picky so people attached themselves to him in droves.

No wonder Liu Bei, a nobody, can rise to become the 1st emperor of the Shu Kingdom.  He is truly our role model.  To know what plan Liu Bei had, and how you too can turn from zero to hero, come for our Longzhong Plan short course on Monday 18 July 8 pm to 9.31 pm, at zoom.  Special fee of $31 for one or $19.49 each for 2.  Details at www.asiatrainers.org/longzhong

In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being.
