The real victorious mindset
The best mindset for these difficult and turbulent times it's neither the soldier nor the scout mindset. The victorious one is the mindset of the leader: you must first lead the exoloration, the study of the enemy and search the reality that you must face. Then, with all the best knowledge, informations and datas about the factual reality, you shoould begin the battle to make your beliefs triumphant. An idea or opinion could be successfull only if is based on reality, with checked facts.
