Genghis Khan, emperor of the Mongol Empire, had a remarkable subordinate general named Yesun Bei. Although Yesun Bei was an extraordinary warrior, Genghis Khan refrained from giving him military authority to command. This decision stemmed from Yesun Bei’s belief that others were similar to him; he became frustrated when they couldn’t perform as well as he could. Without empathy, individuals cannot show respect, and without respect, people do not follow their superiors. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
While your efforts may have been sincere, claiming success due to those efforts is misleading. The Law of Equivalent Exchange suggests that behind my achievements lie the sacrifices of others, known or unknown to me. We should approach discussions of success with humility and avoid glorification. Neglecting the Law of Equivalent Exchange often leads to the onset of corruption. When considering the sacrifices made by others, we ought to refrain from celebrating our successes based solely on our dedication and hard work. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
