Life lessons from Hitler

Hitler- the man who turned the whole world upside down. He is not liked by many but there is no one who doesn’t agree that he was one of the greatest leaders the world has ever witnessed. Though he killed thousands of Jews but there is also a reason behind that. Though it’s not officially agreed but it is widely known. He actually liked a Jewish girl. He had plans to marry her & then settle as a Lecturer. But somehow he couldn’t express his feelings to her & in a very short while she got married to some Australian soldier. This incident dismantled Hitler completely & he started hating the Jews. This hatred took 1000s of lives. Perhaps, he took that- all is fair in love & war concept quite too seriously.

Well, whatever he did was his choice. Whether you feel he was right or wrong- it’s your choice but we all know he was a master planner & even better executor.

Here are some lessons that Hitler taught the world:

Ø Discipline:

Since Childhood Hitler had Discipline and regimentation under the watchful eyes of teachers at school and his strict father at home. There is anecdotal evidence that Adolf's father regularly beat him during his childhood, it was not unusual for discipline to be enforced in that way during that period.  That discipline he learned during his childhood, made all the difference in later stages of his life!!

“Discipline in life is like the string of the kite. It doesn’t stop the kite from going high; it just makes sure that the kite doesn’t fall!”

Ø Punctual & hard-working:

Hitler was one of the most punctual people Germany ever produced. He never used to be late or absent for any meeting. Also before any public presence Hitler used to practice his speech many times with his photographer to get best motivating snaps. This technique built a lot of confidence in him which ultimately helped him to mark his presence in this world!

“If you are not 5 minutes early, then it means you’re late!

If you don’t value time; don’t expect the time to value you!”

Ø Vision:

•         Hitler knew that the next level of war weapon will be of chemicals.

•         He supported chemical warfare. Some reports says Hitler was first to have a nuclear weapon also.

He scanned the details of changing world quite minutely & adjusted to it before anyone else did. This gave an edge over the rest of the world!

“Keep your focus on the finish line. Observation can teach you everything- it is the easiest way of learning if learnt!”

Ø Determination:

He wanted to be the most powerful person in Germany and also wanted to make Germany as the most powerful country in the world.

In spite of being in prison for more than one year Hitler didn’t let his determination fade. After being released Hitler continued his movement indirectly, as he was prohibited to make any public summit. But after getting public support Hitler became chancellor of Germany and later the undisputed leader.

“Whatever troubles came earlier are over now. Those which will come will also end after a short while. Be stubborn to win. All will go your way, someday!!”

Ø Strategic Planning:

Hitler followed through with his plan and repudiated the Treaty of Versailles. At first he tried to keep Germany's rearmament a secret but by 1935 he proudly displayed Germany's new army, navy and air force. European nations did nothing to enforce the treaty, leading Hitler to conclude that he could begin to create his vision of a new German nation. In1936 he reclaimed the Rhineland from France and in 1938 he annexed Austria to Germany. France and Great Britain agreed at a meeting in Munich to the annexation on the understanding that Hitler would make no more territorial demands. The Munich agreement only made Hitler more convinced that he could continue his expansion. Within months German troops had marched into German-populated areas of Czechoslovakia and in 1939 Hitler annexed all of that country. Britain and France finally reacted when Hitler's armies invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. War was declared, leading to the Second World War that would last until 1945.

“You can conquer the whole world. All you need is- a Plan & enough confidence!”

Ø People Management:

Hitler was very famous among his people. He used to be in them and treated them as a family. He played with their children and enjoyed with them. This lead to his popularity, his people were ready to die for him.

“People are not difficult, they are just different. Everyone wants to be treated with respect!”

These were the main points that made Hitler the finest leader of his era. He was defeated just because he got over-confident.  Never let it happen to you!!
