This video talks about how to manage a city in a complicated situation with 4 steps. lets try to learn from it.
it is a city where there are many type of people: Tribes, Newcomers, Hypocrites, and multiple religions. and even the name of the city was bad.
in order to fix the issue there were 4 steps:
1- Found a suitable name for the city.
2- Regulations: it included things like: no racism, following the rules no matter from which tribe or religion you are, when war happens all should support each other even whom are unrelated, .... etc.
3- Make newcomers live with the older people: It might be tough in the beginning but learning to live together is the way to go.
4- Make Social fields to meet up: This help democracy and sharing ideas to help the improvement of the city.
ok so WIIFM?
1- What do you find your family or your work community known for? (cheerful people? Sad? active? aggresive?). Do you like what people think of your community?
2- Do you have rules? or everyone do whatever he likes and be a rebel?
3- Do you have job rotations in your company? or do your son ever get to know his brother more that live in the opposite room?
4- Do your employees express themselves to you? Do you know what are their interests and concerns? and finaly do you make a family day out? or family dinner once in a while?
I believe those ideas are nice to make us think about the places we live in for a while using the 4 steps.

WIIFM Video (2) Random Advices
Like usual I tend to write what I learnt from the videos in order to help myself with self-improvement.
The host had a summary of 12 tips from the first half of "the successful story".
I divided them into two parts to make it as relevant to us, they include :
To Self:
1) Have Faith: Believing in our ideas make us more stable and know what we are doing.
2) Planning, and being proactive: we need to know our blueprint and where we are going, plus take action towards our opportunities.
3) Trainning/Learning: We have to practice and learn what we doing; no matter what it is. Example: (even the computer or phone we are using right now was something learned).
4) Balance between the Truth and personal preference: we need to distinguish between the right and self preference.
5) Patience, stability, and sacrifcing: Being patient is easy for one day but sustaining it for the whole is essential to reach our goals, also not to forget to sacrifice,
6) Mistakes are Neccessary: We should keep trying, once or twice is not enough for anything. (Thomas Edison?)
7) Be optimistic all time: optimism can help much even in tough times. try it!
8) Emotional stability: Drama is nice in movies for us to get engaged to it, but we can't motivate people if they see us drama queens.
9) The women (Your relationship): making synergy with goals and our relationships can be one of the strongest methods to achieve stablility in goal reaching.
To people:
10) Living in the society: Hiding successful person wont be known as a successful person.
11) Be socially responsible towards the whole: Reach goals doesn't mean harming the environment or even people. if we harm them then who will call us successful?
12) Ethics: truthfulness, Loyality, Trustability, effeciency, and effectiveness. we should have these at all time in all situation. think about it cheating will only bring short term success.
Lets ask ourselves now:
To Self:
1) Do you have 100% faith in what you believe in? if not you should look for another source of energy.
2) - Do you know what you want?
- Are you taking action towards it? or - Are you being passive? (you need to ROAR your way out)
3) Are you good on what you are planning to reach? if not, why not go learn about it?
4) Do you put your goals infront of your pleasures?
5) Are you able to work everyday as much as the first day you planned your goal?
6) Do you keep trying or just give up?
7) Are you cheerful or do you have this negative bubble around you that slow you down?
8) Do you think showing your anger is good cause you get attention? childrens do that too.
9) Do you take care of your wife and let her engage on your goals?
- Do you motivate your husband and make goals together with him?
- Or each is seperated?
To People:
10) Do you find yourself sitting in your room all day working hard and wanting to be famous, rich, or successful? please get out we want to see you. (if not all, atleast SOME want to see you)
11) Do you think people will help you achieve your goals when you take care of yourself more than anything?
12) Are you able to be a good person for people for the sake of your goals and beliefs instead of getting attention?
I know it is very long post but I believe if we take some time thinking about some of those questions and implement them in our lives it will help us a lot.

WIIFM Video (1)
Hey, This video is talking about how my beloved prophet managed to escape from the bad guys who wanted to kill him at night before he leaves his home.
Basically, he made some steps that I hope I can explain them as well as they were explained in the video by Amr Khaled one of the most influncial people and one of the great motivators.
He said the process of the planing included several steps:
1) Make strategies: which included many ideas like:
- The bed ploy and distraction.
- Choosing the right loyal friend.
- Having the backup of food and water from someone unexpected.
- The trace eraser
(you can know them in details in the video)
2) Be ready for the worst case scenario: By tell one of his friends to return all the belongings (or debts in our words).
3) Take action and work hard till the end: (not just run away south when everyone expect him to go north but climb a mountain and inside a cave)
4) Have Faith.
Right now you might be thinking " hey what did I benefit from all this? these are only steps I can't understand a thing."
I will tell you " hey what about you try to implement it for any goal you want to achieve and see what you can get out of it"
These 4 steps can be possibly be one of the layouts of planing goals, and I hope if you just give yourself extra one minute thinking abou:
1) What you really want to do in life and what are your strategies to get them?
2) Are you ready for the worst reactions from your actions?
3) Are you working hard? or just dreamer?
4) Do you have that strong faith that boost your energy?
