Biggest Takeaway from Knowing the 3 Kingdoms

Biggest Takeaway from Knowing the 3 Kingdoms   People often asked me, why are you Andy so interested in conducting lessons on the 3 Kingdoms?  What is so beneficial in knowing China's history 1,800 years ago?  I am not in the military, and nor am I in business. What good is there for me to understand the 3 Kingdoms? Today the world has moved beyond judging a book by its cover. We judge a person's success or failure based on achievements.   If a trainer did not get many people in his lessons, we say this trainer is either no good or not successful.  If a businessman hardly makes good profits, we don't bother about him.  We don't know people that we cannot see their achievements.    If a restaurant has a Michelin star, we say that is a good restaurant.

Who is the One Person that Turned Around Liu Bei? Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu or someone else?

We know the 3 Kingdoms Period (year 184 to 280) in ancient China had 3 kingdoms: Wei, Wu, and Shu. Today let's talk about the Shu kingdom. Liu Bei was the distant uncle of the ailing Han Dynasty emperor. From a young age, his father passed away and Liu Bei had to live a despondent life with his mum. He had to resort to selling straw mats and shoes in the market to make a living. Yet inside Liu Bei's heart, he has not forgotten his calling. As a descendant of the Liu family that founded the Han Dynasty (which lasted almost 400 years and brought China to its glory), he saw his country fall into the hands of thieves like Cao Cao, who controlled the Emperor and ill-treated the emperor. The entire nation is divided, with many feudal lords fighting with each other. People are suffering. The solution: Find a way to get rid of thieves like Cao Cao and re-unite China and bring peace to the country and save people's lives. That is his calling. He set out to achieve his goal.
