Now Imagine
Some how, Bill Gates loses all his wealth and become a poor man and he appeals to the same million people that donate me whatever amount they can. Suppose he makes it clear to them that don’t expect your money to be returned.
In such scenario, how much money do you think that he can generate?
My guess is NOT MUCH
Even if, he can get 10 % of his present wealth, it would be a miracle
On the other hands , lets say a Indian Guru , Sri Sri Ravishankar faces a similar situation .
Who is Sri Sri Ravishankar?
He is a holy guru, who founded art of living in 1981 and has 300 million followers in 140 countries. You can check the Internet to know more about him.
Suppose, he asks his followers that he needs money. He says that I would not even tell the reason, why I need it. I will not be able to return it as well. Give me, whatever you can give happily
How much money do you think he would get?
Trust me , he would get billions of dollars in a single day . Those who know him , can understand , what I am saying .
Those who don’t agree can move on to my next example
This is the power of belief
Shareholders and employees of a tycoon like Bill Gates may believe in him as long as he is successful BUT the moment he starts sliding down. They are the first one to desert him. There are no of such examples in the past to support my point .
Experience has shown that people will do a lot for money, more for a good leader, and do most for a belief. We see this happening every day all over the world.
