All Selling Aside With Alex Mandossian

Today I share with you the story of a wise man in the Middle East who was challenged by a young ambitious man. The wise man was known for providing good counsel and solving disputes. He appeared to know the answer to every predicament brought before him and solved those predicaments over many years. When the young ambitious man heard of the wise man, he sought to undermine the wise man’s authority and prove him wrong.   The young man hatched a vicious plan involving a dove and death. He would go to the wise man holding a dove in his hands and ask whether or not the dove was alive or dead. If the wise man said the dove was dead, the young man would release the dove and prove him wrong. If the wise man said the dove was alive, the young man would kill it in his hands. The young man felt his plan was foolproof.   Alex goes on to reveal the dilemma the wise man was put in by the young man. Rather than speaking immediately, the wise man ponders the question of the young man. When he was ready the wise man spoke. H
