I need to tell you about this British lunatic from World War II named Major Digby Tatham-Warter, and I swear to The Awesomely Bearded Almighty, none of this is made up.

This magnificent basterd shows up to the Battle of Arnhem (an actual friggin’ BATTLE with bullets and explosions and a Tarantino-amout of dying), carrying an UMBRELLA.

Not a bulletproof gun-umbrella like Colin Firth in the movie Kingsman. I wish!

Not an umbrella with a secret sword inside. Or laser-powered. Or with the tip dipped in some radioactive Amazonian frog juice.

Nope. A regular-ass umbrella.

His explanation? So his own guys could recognize him as Bri’ish.

Because apparently the British accent, uniform, and him yelling “CHEERIO, OLD CHAPS” wasn’t enough.

Seriously, I had to DOUBLE-CHECK this story was true.

He also forgot essential shlit like his helmet and radio. But don’t worry! He remembered to bring some Shakespeare, because apparently a rousing soliloquy from King Lear helps curve Nazi gunfire around you.

At one point, this maniac led a bayonet charge while twirling his umbrella like Mary f*cking Poppins.

THEN he disabled a German armored vehicle by JAMMING HIS UMBRELLA THROUGH THE VIEWING SLIT.

Picture being the German soldier inside: “Hans, I cannot see! There appears to be formal rain protection inserted into our tank! MEIN GOTT!!1”

But here’s the punchline that will make you question everything about how the world works:

Not only did Digby survive this weapons-grade insanity.

THEY ALSO PROMOTED HIM.

Why? Because here’s a rather harsh truth in life…

Leadership, and sometimes even industriousness has below zero to do with competence.

It’s more like being able to see the battlefield in a way that no one else can (and maybe bring a wacky rain-deterring device with you)

Most people are getting played their entire lives because they think persuasion and success is about having the most facts or the best PowerPoint.

They think confidence is something you earn by actually knowing what you’re doing.

Oh, you sweet summer child! lol

You absolutely MUST know what you’re doing, but if we can learn anything from Digby’s story, is that he didn’t need to shout out “I’m in control” like he was at a Tony Robbins event.

And he didn’t have to do that because he was strutting through a warzone with an umbrella like he was late for teatime at Buckingham Palace.

This man had made a complete category for himself, and that’s the only reason why history remembers him.

His body language must have been screaming “I’m so far beyond giving a feck that I’ve circled back around to supreme confidence.”

But that confidence can only come from knowledge.

And as Sun Tzu said…

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

That’s what my system, the Knesix Code™ teaches. To know yourself AND others, by…

  • Stop leaking insecurity from every pore like you’re a human sprinkler system
  • Read other people before they even know what they’re thinking themselves
  • Walk into a room and have everyone unconsciously reorganize themselves around you like you’re a black hole of charisma

And one of the most fundamental pillars is being able to read people’s faces. Can you imagine being able to read THROUGH the mask people wear to hide their insecurities and conceal their intentions?

You can do so with my COMPLETE Face Reading Manual.

This is your chance to learn what crazy bastards like Digby accidentally figured out.

The ability to project power even when you’re completely out of both ammo and sanity, armed with nothing but Shakespeare and rain gear, facing not-so-certain Death.

(And you’ll be able to read Death’s face, too!)

Much success,

Jesús.
