Lesson learnt from warlords

Went to watch this movie after cg last fri... Picked up some things from that movie... "Da ge shi dui de" Hahahaha... Stupid la, this line... Heh... An impt lesson... A man must honour his words. He must have influence and be careful about the ppl he opens his life. Must really know the heart of the ppl whom you're willing to die for. Is it going to be for the right cause? Dun die for an evil man thinking that he's helping you!!!

But all the above is not what I wanna talk abt... I wanted to talk abt the part where that Da Ge managed to persuade the 3 old men to give him more soldiers to chiong... He managed to get 800. Then he went to approach another warlord (cant remember his team's name... Let's just call him "Desperate for victory"-DFV) to support him. He came with 1,500 men, who are his last men. And this DFV was just just there to support... Onlookers... At the beginning...

So the tactic was that they will need lotsa of ppl to sacrifice, to keep running to break the enemies front line... The enemies gt guns, which range is 300m. The Da Ge's team only got archers, range is 200m. So they will need ppl to run and be the human shields for the archers so that they can reach within range to shoot the arrows... Then they managed to break the front line and went into direct combat with the enemies... Then the enemies sent the ppl on horses one.... Suddenly cant rem the name of this type of ppl... Very nice name one... Anyway, that's not impt... So the enemies sent out these horsemen and they started to kill lots of foot soldiers and archers. Da Ge then sent out himself and the horsemen... They just fought and fought... Til... There was a scene where they are clearly overpowered in numbers... Cos only 800 ppl versus like thousands of enemies... Then they shouted... Bao hu da ge! Cos he was injured la... So the scene was from a top view then you can see the enemies surrounding the da ge's soldiers and he was in the middle.

But even at that time, the Da Ge with the Er Ge and the 3rd bro held on to the belief that they might still be able to win the battle. They begin to put on the mindset that if there's one more i can kill, i will kill cos i would have one less enemy. it was the starfish mindset... Really admire their courage n tenacity...

Then the DFV leader saw them continue to fight despite left like abt 100 men vs thousands of enemies. He felt so challenged. He said "if they are only 800 ppl and can cause that enemies to fall til this stage. What abt us? We need a victory badly" and he led his team in to help to kill the enemies from the outside. and of course, in the end, they won la...

So it's like the da ge's team was only 800 men strong. But it was led by 3 men... They had the same dream, to destroy the enemies and bring peace to that place. I was just thinking today, he had 3 men and he made a difference... My CG has more ppl... More willing ppl who are able to lay down their lives for this cause. Surely we can cause a frantic in the enemies camp... So we can do it! We are stronger... Rachel, Meng, Tam, Xing, Ruix, Ken... ... ... So many, so many... Surely we'll take the enemies camp down... And even the bystanders, seeing our faith will come and help out and we will surely destroy all obstacles... So jiayou my friends... We can make a difference in this age... We can conquer... We can step out of our comfort zone in the transition phase and eventually get the transformation before the year closes... All things are possible to Him who believes... I put my trust in You!!!
