Awesomeness resides within me

A Story from Ancient China
- A king was thinking of hiring Sun Tzu as an advisor. As a test, the king asked Sun Tzu to turn his harem of 200 concubines into troops. Sun Tzu divided them into two units, commanded by the king's two favorites. He explained the signals to face forward, backward, right and left. But when he gave the signals, the women just laughed. Sun Tzu had the two "officers" executed on the sport and put the next most senior concubines in their places. When he gave the signals again, the women obeyed flawlessly. Sun Tzu declared that "the troops are in good order and may be deployed as the King desires."
