Lesson:  Be yourself... In 1985, The Coca-Cola Company decided to change the near 100-year-old taste and formula for Coke. All hell broke loose... They didn't just do this on a whim. They had been steadily losing marketing share to other competing cola products, especially to Pepsi – which the younger generation of cola drinkers preferred. After WWII, Coca-Cola's share was 60%, but by the 1980's it has sunk closer to 20%. And in blind taste tests, consumers preferred the sweeter taste of Pepsi to Coke. In an attempt to arrest this trend, they decided to copy Pepsi and taste more like it. So they retired the Coca-Cola everyone had known for generations and introduced one with a new flavour called "New Coke". It was a marketing disaster and consumers were outraged... The Coca-Cola company received over 40,000 letters and phone calls from angry customers. There were boycotts and people pouring the drink in the streets in protest. A psychiatrist who they hired to evaluate the calls reported that some callers sounded like they were discussing the passing of a loved one. Some guy named Gay Mullins filed a class action lawsuit and spent $100,000 of his own money pursuing it. Even Fidel Castro, a regular Coke drinker, chimed in that this was a sign of American capitalist decadence. When the old stock of the original Coke ran out in the US, where New Coke was initially introduced, consumers started importing it from overseas markets where the new one had not yet been introduced... There was even the real prospect of their bottlers boycotting them. Finally, reading the tea leaves, the Coca-Cola Company capitulated and reintroduced the original Coke formula 79 days after discontinuing it. "Imitation is suicide." ––– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Lesson: Make an example of one person and others will fall in line... In 336 BC, when the 20-year-old Alexander the Great ascended the throne of Macedonia, following his father's sudden demise, some Greek city-states his father had subdued saw it as an opportunity to rebel. However, the first to openly do so was Thrace – a collection of "barbarian" tribes to the east. Without hesitation, Alexander set out to pacify them! So while he was away fighting the Thracians, Thebes, a Greek city-state also took their chance... First, they attacked a garrison of Macedonian soldiers stationed in Thebes, killed the officers who lived outside the citadel and besieged the rest. To their surprise, Alexander quickly subdued the Thracians and made straight for them. To reports of Demosthenes, the Athenian politician and orator, calling him a boy and riling up the other city-states to oppose Macedonian dominance, Alexander famously said, “They say I am a boy. I am coming to teach them that I am a man.” When Alexander arrived at the walls of the city, he first gave them a chance to surrender, but they refused. He eventually defeated their army and sacked the city. Since everyone was watching the young upstart, after pardoning many, he sold 30,000 into slavery and smashed the city into ruins. After Alexander dealt with Thebes with an iron fist, for the other city-states – especially Athens – all consideration of rebellion vanished from their thoughts. "Punishment is not for the benefit of the sinner, it is for the salvation of his comrades." ––– General George S. Patton

During the 1992 Los Angeles riots, U.S Marines and some police officers responded to a hostage situation... You see, the Marines are not the guys you want for domestic duties. Their primary focus is on combat operations. The 1992 L.A. riots were intense... There was massive looting, over 3,000 fires, a billion dollars in property damage, 2,383 injuries, 12,000 arrests, and 63 lives lost. It was a big deal, so in addition to the 10,000 National Guard deployed, President George Bush Snr. invoked the Insurrection Act and sent in active-duty troops to help bring the situation under control. Back to the hostage situation... As two police officers approached the door, a shot rang out from inside the building. They docked. Then one of them shouted to the Marines, who were behind them, "Cover me!" Big mistake... For the police, "cover me" means "be prepared to fire if the situation necessitates it". To the Marines, "cover me" means "provide covering fire". So the Marines unloaded 200 rounds into the building... Luckily, no one was hurt. Lesson: In the course of life, you will inevitably interact with people from different backgrounds, cultures, and with different perspectives. If you wish to communicate effectively with them, or to form a connection, then you have to speak to them in their "language". “To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.” ––– Tony Robbins

In the 6th century BC, while Cyrus the Great was still in the womb, his grandfather marked him for death... His grandfather, King Astyages of the Median Empire, had two dreams that troubled him. And when he summoned his dream interpreters, he didn't like what they had to say... In these dreams he saw a stream, and then vines, come out of his daughter's genitals to cover the whole of Asia. They told him it meant his daughter's son would replace him as king. He did not like that... So when his daughter gave birth to Cyrus the Great, he ordered his most loyal general, Harpagus, to take the boy and kill him. Harpagus didn't want to do this himself, so he took the baby and in turn ordered one of the king's shepherds, a slave named Mitradates, to do it. (Harpagus will regret this) Mitradates' wife also gave birth about the same time, but her baby was stillborn, so they swapped the stillborn baby with Cyrus and presented it to Harpagus as proof. Then they raised Cyrus as their own. When Cyrus was 10 years old, he was playing a game with the other kids where they select someone as king. They chose him... And when the son of a nobleman, Artembares, refused to carry out one of his orders, he ordered the boy held and then whipped him severely. An angry Artembares went to the king and complained about how his son was treated by one of his slaves – the son of a Shepherd. The king summoned Cyrus, and in the ensuing run of events, discovered his real identity. To punish Harpagus (his trusted general) for failing to kill baby Cyrus, the king had his only son killed and served to him during a banquet. And without knowing it, Harpagus ate his own son. Lesson: In many instances, delegation is good, but in critical moments you might want to take on certain responsibilities by yourself. "If you want something done right, do it yourself" –––– Napoleon

In 1563, a man was caught hiding under the bed of the Queen of Scotland, Mary I... He was a French poet named Pierre de Bocosel de Chastelard. He was infatuated with the queen and wanted to surprise her in private and proclaim his love for her. Actually, he wasn't a complete stranger to the Queen... They were friends, of sorts. But sneaking into the Queen's bedroom was crossing a huge line. In the conservative Scottish society, that was incredibly scandalous. And at that point in the Queen's life, her husband, the King of France, Francis II was late. So she was looking to the powerful nobility of Europe for another marriage. After this incident, she banished Chastelard from Scotland. But that wasn't enough to keep him away or blunt his passion... Just two days later, he stalked the Queen to another Castle and again sneaked into her bedroom – while she was undressing... So to keep him away permanently, she had him beheaded. True to form as a poet, on the scaffold, just before he lost his head, he cried out, "Farewell to you, so beautiful and so cruel, who kill me and whom I cannot cease to love". Lesson: When you share the friendship of a more powerful person, know your boundaries. Do not abuse the opportunity.

On February 4th, 1912, a French tailor, named Franz Reichelt, decided to test his new parachute design by jumping off the Eiffel Tower. In 1912, aviation was still in its infancy so there were a lot of crashes. Because of this, there was a lot of interest in a means by which pilots could safely jump out of aircraft if they encountered trouble. One Colonel Lalance even offered a prize of 10,000 francs to anyone who could come up with a practical design. So the race was on among inventors to solve this problem. After one year of trying, Franz Reichelt finally obtained permission from the police to perform a test from the Eiffel Tower. On the day of the test, a large crowd of onlookers, including 30 journalists, gathered to witness the event. The police were also present. Then he surprised everyone by telling them he was going to make jump himself and not use a dummy. His friends tried unsuccessfully to dissuade him... Another inventor named Gaston Hervieu, who was also working on a parachute, tried to talk him out of it. He provided him with technical details as to why the parachute wouldn't work, but he wouldn't listen. As he climbed up the Eiffel Tower to make the jump, he turned to the crowd and shouted, "See you soon!". They did see him soon. After hesitating on the ledge for about forty seconds, he jumped off... The parachute did not deploy. It wrapped around him, and he plummeted 187 feet to his death. Lesson: What Franz Reichelt did was similar to jumping headfirst into a pool in order to determine its depth. Had he dropped a dummy of equal weight from the Eiffel Tower, it would have failed too, but he would still have the opportunity to iterate and try new designs. Before trying new things that could end in disastrous failure we should test safely first. "Do not test the depth of a river with both feet." --- African Proverb

In 1462, Vlad the Impaler was in big trouble... His tiny principality of Wallachia was about to be invaded by a large Ottoman army led by Mehmed the Conqueror. (Mehmed II is the guy who conquered Constantinople, and Wallachia is a part of modern-day Romania.) Vlad the Impaler, renowned for his excessive cruelty got his nickname "The Impaler" because of his favourite method of disposing of his enemies...by impaling them. Being impaled is particularly gruesome. It involves driving a large stake through the victim's anus or torso, then displaying them by mounting the other end into the ground. Impaling people was by no means his only way of killing his enemies. He also burned, boiled, skinned and beheaded his victims. So to dissuade Mehmed II from invading, Vlad the Impaler had 20,000 prisoners impaled and displayed on the route the Ottoman army would take. Shocked by this macabre forest of corpses, the invading Ottomans turned around and returned to their empire. Today, Vlad III is celebrated as a hero in Bulgaria for saving his country from Ottoman conquest. Also, the Dracula vampire character in movies is based on him. Lesson: Sometimes, to stop an adversary in their tracks, you have to show them how far you are willing to go.

In 1737, when Benjamin Franklin (the guy on the $100 bill) was renominated as clerk for the Pennsylvania General Assembly... Another member who didn't like him very much made a long speech about why the job should instead be given to someone else. Being the clerk was a lucrative opportunity for Ben Franklin. In addition to the pay, he also made money from printing the votes, laws and other documents. But Instead of Ben Franklin hating this man, he decided to turn him into a friend instead... How did he do it? I'll let Mr Franklin continue in his own words... === Having heard that he had in his library a certain very scarce and curious book, I wrote a note to him, expressing my desire of perusing that book, and requesting he would do me the favor of lending it to me for a few days. He sent it immediately, and I returned it in about a week with another note, expressing strongly my sense of the favor. When we next met in the House, he spoke to me (which he had never done before), and with great civility; and he ever after manifested a readiness to serve me on all occasions, so that we become great friends, and our friendship continued to his death. This is another instance of the truth of an old maxim I had learned, which says, "He that has once done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another than he whom you yourself have obliged." === Lesson: People want to feel important – including your rivals, opponents and enemies. By letting them do something for you, from which they derive a sense of importance, you could build rapport with them. "Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?" ––– Abraham Lincoln

In the 4th Century BC, Philip II of Macedon, Alexander the Great's father, threatened Sparta with an invasion... At this point, he was on a roll and had already defeated and subdued all the major Greek city-states, with the exception of Sparta. He sent them this message: "You are advised to submit without further delay, for if I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city." The Spartans simply replied, "If". Sparta was located in an area of Greece called Laconia, and they had a reputation for terse, concise responses. That's the origin of the English word "laconic". Lesson: In a confrontation, there is just something very intimidating about not running your mouth. It communicates a certain level of confidence and self-assurance. Even if there's nothing you can do, stfu, and let them twist their brains in a knot imagining all the possible variants of hell you could rain on them.
