A Business Fable – The Story of 3 Lords

In a certain land, there was a village whose people lived together peacefully.

Around this village stand 3 castles belonging to 3 lords. Each wants to claim the village for himself.

The second lord met the villagers and said: “Villagers, follow me. I will give you a life well-fed and wealthy. Everyone will eat and drink their fill and dress beautifully. We will provide high-income jobs with generous benefits. The village will become one of the most prosperous.”

The third lord arrived at the village. Without saying a word, he ordered his soldiers to attack and beat the villagers nearly to death (^^!). Then he said: “You are so weak and spineless. If bandits or invaders attack, who will protect you? Answer me: WHO?”

Conclusion: Choosing which lord to follow is each villager's own decision. If you play the role of a lord while building your career, remember this story and the 3 needs of a ‘commoner.’

  • People need spiritual wealth
  • People need material wealth
  • People need safety

 

Balance these 3 elements in your life. Also remember to bring those 3 things to anyone you want to “win over.”

  • Accumulate assets for a prosperous life
  • Balance life through spiritual and artistic activities
  • Experience, courage, and resolve to inspire confidence in others

 

Wishing you success on your journey to conquer new territories!
