    For years, I’ve found common sense help through the sayings of long-dead military leaders. The video here is uncannily similar to some of the ideas I’ve found…most particularly: -Control what you can control, because that’s the only thing truly worth worrying about it -“He who defends everything, defends nothing,” which is to say you can’t do everything and you shouldn’t try to -There’s an anecdote from Ulysses S Grant’s memoirs of his first time leading troops into potential combat. As they neared the enemy camp, he became more and more worrisome until he lacked the moral courage to even order a halt and think things over. And so by the time they reached the battlesite…the enemy had already hastily retreated. To quote Grant directly: “It occurred to me at once that Harris [the rebel leader] had been as much afraid of me as I had been of him. This was a view of the question I had never taken before; but it was one I never forgot afterwards.” If you’re ever having to face direct competition, whether it be for a job or a game, this works fantastically. -“Never interrupt your enemy while he’s making a mistake,” especially that douche coworker -“Every man must get to Heaven in his own way,” which can be extended to a general view of live and let live

    ​@TheDavidlloydjones wow that quote really went over that hollow head of yours lmao, Vito meant that from a protector's point of view, a father's pov would be a better example actually since it's the father's/mans role to protect and provide, to carry on all the burdens and responsibilities and challenges. That itself is the role of the man and the father from vitos pov. He takes care of everything so his family and children don't have to, yk do the dirty work so their hands stay clean. It's not really rocket science as to what point he was trying to get across to michael. And in life he is pretty much right at least to extent, others aren't so fortunate bc it's life but he brings some truth to his statement

    Michael should have listened to Frankie Five Angels: “Your father worked with Hyman Roth. Your father respected Hyman Roth. But your father never trusted Hyman Roth!” His military service probably taught Michael that nothing ever goes exactly according to plan. No plan survives contact with the enemy.

    One thing I noticed in the films I and II, is, Freddie and Mama Corleone never directly spoke to each other. In II, Tom sits next to Mama during Anthony's confirmation party.Tom speaks to Mama in Sicilian when they gossip about Freddie's wife. At Mama's funeral Freddie does cry when he sees Mama in her coffin.Even Connie had a direct conversation with Mama in II when she shows up late to Anthony's party. Also, Freddie never had a full conversation with Don Vito either.

    Superlative analysis. Love it. A few things I was musing in relation to these messages -- One of my favorite scenes in The Godfather is when Sonny butts in and asks Solozzo to verify that the Barzinis will match investment. Not only that he butts in, but he says it in a tone that implies Vito would be a fool to pass it up. What I love about that scene is the immediate reaction shots: Tom looks at Peter, Peter looks back at Tom. They are both silently acknowledging this was a BIG fumble that's going to cost them later. And they were right. If not for that one slip up, Solozzo may have well tried Jersey or possibly Chicago to set up, and saved all the families a LOT of trouble. And about the stoicism.... I think of the scene in Vegas, when Mike is trying to buy out Moe. Moe immediately gets inflamed and starts running his mouth (as Michael surely knew was in store) and Michael raises his voice in response -- something Vito would NEVER do, no matter how bad someone provoked him -- but becomes taciturn and curt thereafter. It shows that while Michael is learning, he isn't quite there just yet. And in Part II, by the time Michael gets to Havana, he feels he's solved the mystery... mostly. While he's fairly certain Hyman is behind the hit, he doesn't understand why. That why is huge -- because that why will determine if they can somehow work past this. So Michael stonewalls him about the investment... drawing things out, making Hyman more and more annoyed. Finally, when he (of all things) is in a sour mood because of his medical problem of painful urination, he finally spills the beans. He loses his composure (though not as bad as Moe) and reveals what the motive was: revenge. He knew Michael killed his protege, whom he loved. It was at that point Michael knew there was only one way: he or Roth had to die, there was no "fixing" this otherwise. And Roth may have lived longer if he didn't reveal this crucial secret in a moment of weakness.

    All of these are great and work well if you're running a criminal empire and leading thorough fear. But if you're not a psychopath, there's one more lesson you need to add to the list - cultivate a team of good and smart people, build up their strengths and empower them to activate your vision. It sounds trite, but teamwork does make the dream work. If Michael hadn't been dismissive of Frank's concerns or kept Tom at arm's length, Roth wouldn't have been able to get his hooks in Frank or manipulate Fredo.

Along with 2 other places not to go and can get robbed and have a bottom life Los Angeles and San Francisco really has a lot of crime and homelessness in the news lately and is really a disaster zone along with a lot of profanities and cussing to describe it anyway may want to Google and KZread that as well.

    I love this video and it has many lessons for me to unpack and digest. I did find something interesting with an in video about mistakes. We all said, anyone/everyone makes mistakes. Which is true but in actuality, we all make errors. What does that mean? When we plan any event, we take all that we know and apply so we can go about our business. But what happens when an element of that plan fails? Did we miss something? Did we act on old information? We made an error. Now, let's say we do the exact same thing on a different day and the error arises. This time we didn't make an error, we made a mistake. A quote from another fictional tactician, Grand Admiral Thrawn of Star Wars, says this: Anyone can make an error, it when we refuse to correct the error that it becomes a mistake. When I heard this, it put more focus in my life. How many times we did not correct an error made only for us to say, it was a mistake. If we corrected the error in its beginnings, our plans/goals would be more achievable and we would have less stress of dealing with mistakes rather than errors. Errors are not costly, they are a part of life. Mistakes are costly and the price can be your life (or livelihood). Just thought I would share. Again, thanks for this fine video.

    I just started watching this video and I wanted to say that I’m liking how you are branching out to use scenes from non-mafia films like The Dark Knight. Thanks for keeping things fresh! Now, some comments: 7:24 - If Michael “never saw himself as the victim,” what are we to make of his comment in Part III “Every time I think I’m out, they pull me back in?” Is this when Michael is really starting to lose his grip on things? 11:58 - Michael was great at anticipating, EXCEPT when it came to Fredo, who was obviously a screw-up at least from the time he went out to Nevada. Why did Michael allow himself to be blindsided by his own brother? 27:50 - When Michael took Fredo into his confidence about Roth, was that planned or a blunder? 30:30 - Does being formless contradict having principles? Is that what happened to Michael in Parts 1 and 2? 31:53 - I always liked that Tom was the only one not laughing at Michael when he volunteered to kill Solozzo and McClusky. He questioned the wisdom of Michael’s plan, but he took it seriously from the beginning.

    @@robelady7712 There is tons of stuff in the book that is not in the movie. Which I think is for the better. All the nonsense about the chick that gets surgery to tighten up her vagina is weird and has no baring on the over all story and seems completely pointless in regard to the rest of the story. Also not in the film is the part about luca brasi killing a baby. If it’s a perfectly executed description of what’s on screen why is that not in there? The impression they give of Vito Corleone in the movie is a powerful but very honest, decent and honourable man. The movie Vito doesn’t seem the type to deal with someone that had a new born baby thrown in a furnace. The book in my personal opinion is far from a “perfectly executed description on screen”. The movie is far superior than the book and that’s the only book adapted for on screen that I’ve ever read that isn’t better than the on screen version.

    Plans will go wrong. I am a general contractor, and as any GC know in the construction business, anything can go wrong at any time. My backup plans have back up plans. I have almost 2 of every major tool so that when one breaks down I dont have to stop the task. One of my clients once asked me why I dont smile as much, I simply told them "I am anticipating something going wrong". I never let my clients and inspectors and workers know what I am thinking, especially when I dont like them. On that note, I read where Segal was not skimming off the project when the casino was being built, the work crew was cheating him when they realized that he was not a good business manager.

    Great content. What separates Vito from Michael? How was Vito able to balance being a power broker and securely grow his family, while maintaining his legacy as a good don? Vito began his life under the threat of death, losing his entire family in Italy, due to a vendetta out of his control, so he inherently followed the rules of power out of self protection from an early age. This innate sense of protection carried over to his wife and children in a way that maintained everyone’s safety until they had families of their own. Michael had a similar beginning before his transition into being the boss. The main difference being was an adult who lost his “future” as a result of a vendetta he participated in, before coming back to America and taking over the family. Michael didn’t understand the family trust element of being in power, he failed to apply the laws of power with Kay. She asked questions, he revealed the truth to her in a way Vito would’ve never involved his own wife. Vito and mama Corleone had unspoken boundaries neither would cross. They trusted each other, and that’s where Michael failed in his ascent to power. He turned against everyone, family included, and that’s what made him more like Barzini than Vito.
