lessons learned from julius caesar



 People want to be led,but not controlled.
people might like their leader to tell them where to go and what they have to do but they do not like someone to control them. If you are the leader of the group or want to be leader you do not have to be controlling the people but instead lead them to the right path.


“Experience is the teacher of all things.”
people who lived  longer have more experience than younger people a good example is our parents when they tell us not to do certain things they know what they are talking about because they experienced it. In addition, when you are reading a book about how to make people like you without trying the instruction and the tips in the book you are not going to learn much because you are not doing an action to experience  the things written in the book.

 “Cowards die many times before their actual deaths.”
People that are afraid to say something to defend themselves when someone hurt their feeling or do something bad against them, these people are going to die everyday because they are not trying to say something to defend themselves. Moreover, sometimes people may treat you in a way you do not like in fact they do not know that you do not like the way they treat you, so if you do not tell them that they are treating you badly they are not going to know so they will continue treating you in a bad way.



“I had rather be first in a village than second at Rome.
There are things you have to be first for example if you enjoy playing football you have to be the best player in the team, even if you are not good basketball player at least you are the best football player in your team. Try to be the best in something and be number one in that thing
“It is not these well-fed long-haired men that I fear, but the pale and the hungry-looking.”
Sometimes the people we have to be afraid of are the people that we think they are not going to reach to anything, they are the people that we have to be afraid of. I think because we know what the powerful person have of abilities and we know what to except from them but the people who we believe they can not do anything we can not imagine what they can do because they can do anything in our opinion.
 “It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life.”
when you find a new way to solve a math problem you are going to love math but if you are using the same method the teacher gave you you are going to like math. Creating something new for example a new recipe is fun and also add something to your life, you feel you accomplished something.
" Ask everything of your people, but reward them like kings."
When you there are people working for you did something good you have to reward them by giving them something or telling them a nice word because people want to get a reward for what they did to feel valuable. DO not forget to show that you are thankful to the people that did something good for you, by nice words or by giving them something.
“The die is cast.”
There are things you can not change like the sun have to be rising in the morning and the moon have to rise in the night it is something you can not change. Think about something you can change in the company like improving the sales by inventing something new or working harder to influence more poeple. Try to think about something you can change instead of thinking  to change something that is not possible to change.
