Napoleon Bonaparte - Leader Earns Trust....

 

Emperor Napoleon I often made some actions which were inexplicable even from the point of view of his generals. Late at night he could slip his cloak over the shoulders, put on his famous cocked hat and without any convoy went to inspect posts.

Once during this inspection the emperor saw a sentry who was sleeping on his post. Military time regulations were very strict, but fair: the punishment for such breach was an immediate field court and shooting. A sleeping soldier on his post exposed to danger not only himself, but his companions’ lives which he was guarded. But Napoleon, as always, behaved very paradoxically. He took a heavy gun of the sleeping sentry and stood on the post. When some time later a guard commander came with changing of the guard, he saw to his surprise and horror that the sentry was peacefully sleeping under the bush and his place was occupied by the emperor.

“Stop! Who’s there?” – Napoleon asked according to regulations, taking the gun from his shoulders.

Taken aback from such view soldiers even broke formation watching the emperor on the post. The guard commander some time later collected himself and answered: “Changing of the guard! Go off duty!”

“Gone of duty!” – Napoleon reported soldierly and then said in absolutely other voice: “Don’t wake the soldier! Let him have enough sleep.”

There wasn’t any punishment for the sentry.

When Norman Copeland was writing his famous book “Psychology of direction” he repeatedly took examples from history. Particularly when he was explaining methods of group’s rallying around the leader he gave this case from Napoleon.

Priest's Retirement Speech

Retired Priests | Denver Parish Connect 

 Priest's Retirement Speech
 
A Priest was being honoured at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish.
                             
The leading local politician  was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner.
 
However, he was late, so the Priest decided to say his own few words while they waited:

He commenced with: “Thank Goodness we have a wonderful sense of humour!”
 
“I got my first impression of this parish from the very first confession I ever heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional, and whom I shall not name, told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it.  He had stolen money from his parents;  embezzled from his employer; taken illegal drugs; had several affairs;  was arrested several times for public nuisance.  I was appalled that one person could do so many awful things.  But as the days went on, I learned that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people.”
 
Just as the Priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk:
 
“I’ll never forget the first day our parish Priest arrived,” said the politician.  “In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to him for confession.”
 
 
Moral: Never, Never, Never Be Late

Reaching results with no efforts!?

Thomas von Kempen JS.jpg 

 John à Kempis says (as it is put in his life): ‘We like to be humble without humiliation, to be obedient without being under authority, to be poor but to lack nothing, to be virtuous without a struggle, to be loved without goodness, to be thought much of without holiness.’

Russian Jew - Joke - Statue of Lenin

Soviet era statue of Vladimir Lenin. Tallinn, Estonia ... A Russian Jew was finally allowed to emigrate to Israel.
At Moscow airport, customs found a Lenin statue in his baggage and asked, "What is this?"

The man replied, "What is this? Wrong question comrade. You should have asked : Who is he? This is Comrade Lenin. He laid the foundations of socialism and created the future and prosperity of the Russian people. I am taking it with me as a memory of our dear hero."

The Russian customs officer let him go without further inspection.

At Tel Aviv airport, the Israeli customs officer also asked our friend, "What is this?"

He replied, "What is this? Wrong question, Sir. You should be asking, 'Who is this?' This is Lenin, the fool who caused me, a Jew, to leave Russia. I take this statue with me so I can curse him every day."

The Israeli customs officer said, "I apologize, Sir, you are cleared to go"

Settling into his new house, he put the statue on a table. To celebrate his immigration, he invited his friends and relatives to dinner.

One of his friends asked, "Who is this?"
He replied, "My dear friend, 'Who is this' is a wrong question. You should have asked, What is this?
This is ten kilograms of solid gold that I managed to bring with me without paying any customs duty and tax."
 
MORAL :-
Politics is when you can tell the same thing in different ways to fool different audience,and steal their money and allow you to look good in every way.
