Machiavelli discusses the relationship between cruelty, compassion, and the behavior of an effective prince. He returns to Cesare Borgia as an example of effective behavior. Cesare, states Machiavelli, ruled a prosperous and stable domain despite a reputation for cruelty.
An effective prince must try to gain a reputation for compassion but also be willing to be cruel when the stability of his domain calls for it. However, even when a situation requires cruelty, Machiavelli warns that the prince should not act too quickly. Even if a prince has a reputation for cruelty, Machiavelli claims that this will not lead to his downfall.
Whereas being cruel to the people is acceptable if it cannot be avoided, Machiavelli claims that being cruel as a military leader is indispensable. Being lenient toward soldiers can lead only to bad consequences, according to Machiavelli. To illustrate this, he gives the contrasting examples of the famous Carthaginian general Hannibal and the famous Roman general Scipio Africanus. Hannibal's troops endured great hardship under his command because they knew to disobey him meant death. In contrast, Scipio's armies disobeyed and mutinied because they knew that he was hesitant to punish them.

Fixed mindset and Growth mindset.
‘Fixed mindset’ as the name suggests is a state where a person believes that his abilities are fixed traits and which be changed. ‘Growth mindset’ on the other hand is a state where a person believes that his abilities can be changed and amplified through hard work and commitment.
Consider the following demonstration: since childhood I had a fixed mindset that I won’t ever be able to speak in front of a group of people because of my fear of public speaking. Because of this, I avoided speaking in elocution competitions despite being good at writing.
Now consider the next stage when my fixed mindset traits changed: After years of struggle and realization, it hit me that anybody can speak if one is confident enough. This stage of my life was called growth mindset when I even started taking parts in elocution competitions and even won the first prize in almost all the competitions.
You see, when fixed mindset of ‘I can’t do this’ changes to a growth mindset of ‘everything is possible’ great things begin to happen.
I read a book "drought" , this book was actually based on how we people waste the water these days and people far away suffer from lack of water to drink . author was unknown because story was based in reality and was conflicted too for some reasons . this book was published in may 19 2006 . this book was an absolute master peace . I learned a lot from this particular book and wow ! it's seriously so pain to even know such situations . there a girl was described who used to go for bringing water , walking miles a day with her mom , she had to cross huge ups and downs and while going her mom felled down from the hill . and the girl died crying , starving alone . It basically described various scenarios . and while reading I realised what actually the struggle is . we cry for such low priced cheap ,things and they are super heroes struggling for every drop of water . The book was actually priceless if we think of . but it costed me of 1.33$ . whatever be it I liked it the most . it was like experiencing things in real life . and after the book was over , my throat was dried and paining with sorrow . since then I respect things which surrounds me .
