The Key Of Success- Diplomacy
Success also depends upon how you deal with the problem. The sometimes complicated issue can be solved diplomatically instead of wasting energy and effort. Even the use of rationalism or intelligence does not work in certain circumstances.
There is one example where how diplomatically the difficult issue was made smooth and in one advantage. It is related to one intelligent Russian Jew who made one complicated issue in his favor that to by handling it very smartly.
Russian Jews are permitted to immigrate to Israel if they desire. One of the Jews who was immigrating to Israel wanted to carry along with him some of his wealth. He got it made a small golden statue of Lenin to carry along with him.
Russian Custom found a golden statue of Lenin in his baggage and they asked him 'What is this? He replied ' This is the wrong question. You should have asked Who is he? This is Comrade Lenin who laid the foundation of Socialism. He had created the future prosperity of Russia. I am taking this small statue with me as the memory of dear Hiro.' Russian Customs officer let him go.
At Tel Aviv Airport the Israeli Customs officer asked him ' What is this?' He replied' Wrong question Sir. You should be asking " Who is this?" This is Lenin the bastard who cause me, a jew to leave Russia. I take this statue with me so I can curse him every day.' Israel officer apologized and said 'Sir you are cleared to go.'
In his new home, one of his friends asked him "who is this?" He replied 'Wrong question'. You should have asked 'what is this?' This is 10-kilogram solid gold that I managed to bring with me without paying any Customs Duty and Tax'.
In short, telling the same thing diplomatically in a different manner in different circumstances allows one to look good in every way.
