The power of the magician’s spell

Give a big boost to your leadership, without stopping yourself at that threshold where your vulnerable points are put through a sore trial.

Do you remember the movie "Zorro (1975)"? At one point, Captain Huerta kidnaps Zorro’s girlfriend, by setting him a trap.

However, nothing affirms a man's character better than the essential proof of bravery. Zorro, the most astute among all, feels what has been prepared for him. His fantasy sleeps, like a colorless gas, beyond Colonel Huerta's imagination, thus guessing, thanks to his “superior” sense, not only the exact plan of the trap that was set to him, but also the way if escape, the evading and the most advantageous way to salvation.

The genius who knows no obstacle

Nevertheless, Zorro finds his salvation in the lack of attention with which Huerta has calculated his plan.

Who does this dangerous phantasm think he is, he thinks he is able to suddenly defy, with a bounce, any trap and to seize the most hidden secrets? How was this frivolous vagrant able to escape the trap set for him with such meticulousness, skillfulness and mastery? What was the spell or the trick which saved him once again from a great trial? Colonel Huerta wonders with fear in his soul.

However, vain questions! Zorro and his lover escaped unharmed. Once again, the Colonel proved to be below the people's “savior”.

A sharp mind and an arduous imagination

The right resistance of a single man can overcome any barriers, especially if we are talking about Zorro. The world attributed to him the most extraordinary and impossible things, and he deserves in justice all the praise and appreciation. The glory of a genius cannot faint like a candle. A genius cannot collapse so vertiginously in the abyss of oblivion and evanescence; a genius cannot retire in anonymity after tasting the most sensational triumph. However, he carries through, inspired by a noble ideal, bringing into play the entire instinct of his genius, fighting to transfigure vision into reality.

Zorro possessed the so-called inner sense, with which he was able to see with absolute transparency, with a peerless accurateness, the whole scenario his enemy had prepared for him. He has a truly sharp mind, which guarded him from danger, helping him to elucidate the hidden realities, picture the strategy and calculate very well all his possibilities to succeed. And his sharp mind was also the one, which allowed him to arise to a higher level, above everyone, establishing a deep connection, based on trust, with the heart of the people.

When you are passing through a key-moment in life, when you are cornered from all directions with threats and vulnerabilities, when trouble seems to stick to you, there are only two things, which can come in between: a sharp mind and an arduous imagination.

The power of the magician’s spell is the power to deceive the known and unknown enemies, and it is conferred by experience, intuition and the ability of knowing people.

Experience teaches you what actions to adopt in situations of turning points, and how to defend yourself from the known and unknown enemies, which will always stand in your way. Experience and the attentive knowing of people are the ones developing the intuition you needed in order to counteract the actions of your ban intention enemies. Well-knowing the human nature and the way of action of the people around you will help you to take the right decisions, offering surprise elements through which you can annihilate or counteract any subversive actions, to finally achieve your purpose.

Give a big boost to your leadership, without stopping yourself at that threshold where your vulnerable points are put through a sore trial.

Are you able to focus on solutions in critical situations? Do you see clearly how things actually are? Do you have a vision of how you might influence them? Do you have the courage to step on a new ground and to get out of the pattern with which you was used? Are you satisfied with your current level of performance? Do you refuse to risk and increase your chances of success? How do perceive you the other people? Can you count on them in the most difficult moments? But, can they count on you?
