PersonalGrowth & SelfEsteem

Me and a group of like-minded internet gurus(... I mean gurus
to be) are working on launching an ebook on forex.

And a member wrote the following to remind the group about  how
to communicate or influence.

It is a universal tool as it can be used as long as you are
talking to someone, I'd thought it is good to share it with you.

Here goes...

Below is secret tip from a famous modern day
guru and an ancient saga on how to get what you want:

Like our forthcoming ebook on forex, below is the short version.
The long version follows and read it only if you have time or is
not convinced.

"One essential tenet of NLP is that the meaning of your
communication is the response that you elicit. The responsibility
in communication rests upon you.If you try to persuade someone
to do one thing, and he does the other, the fault was in your
communication.You did not find a way to get your message tru.
This is absolutely critical in anything you do."

It is written by someone who has coached Bill Clinton, Nelson
Mendela and Russia's ex-president, Gorbachev and a top tennis
champion( forgot his name).

And here is the long version that happened long time ago.
Hmm, NLP already in practice back then.

Long, long ago, in BC476-221, there live a great man.
He presented his great work ( 13 chapters) to the emperor, Wu
Helu and the emperor like his work.
The emperor asked, 'Can I use them on women as well?'

The answer is yes, of course. So the emperor summon 180 girls
from the palace and divide them into two groups.Each led by his
favorite concubine.
So the great man ask the girls' 'Do you know your left, right,
front, back?'
"Yes" .
The great man then told some soldiers on standby " Be prepared
to punish those who disobey" and then he turned to the girls and
told them to listen carefully and do as he command.
The drummer beat his drum ( dong, dong, dong).
The great man waved his flag and shouted 'Turn right'.
Instead of turning right, the girls started to giggle and laugh.
He then said " Failure to give orders which the troops can
remember by heart is the commander's fault'.
"Alright, I will give the command once more.Look forward when I
'front'.To the left when I say 'left', to the right when I say
'right'.
'OK, get ready, make no mistakes this time.'
The drum sounded once more ( dong, dong, dong).
"Left", shouted the wise man.
The response?...more laughter.
He pulled his flag to his side and said 'failure to give clear
orders and instructions is the commander's fault. But after the
commander has given the orders and instructions clearly, the
soldiers are to blame if they choose not to obey.
"Guards, kill those who disobey.Spare the girls but not their
leaders.
Everyone was shocked!
The king told him " I know you are a good commander but I don't
want to lose my two lovely concubines"

He replied, " No, since I am your commander, you should not
interfere when I am disciplining my troops'.
"Guards, execute them in public!"
The wise man then appointed two new leaders from the group to lead
the group.
He then gave the command "March forward'.
Marching to the beat of the drums, none dared to giggle this time.
He then turned to the emperor and said " They are well trained and
ready for your inspection, your highness".
The emperor asked him to disperse them as he is in no mood to
inspect them.
Although the emperor is unhappy, he appointed the wise man as the
General.
The tiny state then attacked the Chu in the west, Qi and Qin
states in the north and many victories are won.

The modern day guru is Anthony Robbins and the ancient guru is Sun
Tze (Art of War).

But wait!
