Lions are very strong. Tigers are the unrivaled kings of the jungle. However, remember, Wolves are the ones who have never appeared in circuses to entertain humans. The qualities of a wolf leader are the key to success that many people must learn.
There is an American proverb: “The Lion and the Tiger may be more powerful, but the Wolf does not perform in the circus.”
That is: “The Lion and the Tiger may be stronger, but you will never see the Wolf performing in the circus.”
It comes from a fact that many people must have realized. There are all kinds of circus animals in the world: tigers, lions, bears, even fish, seals… But it is very rare to see a wolf being forced to jump rope.
Even the most experienced hunter when entering the forest must be more afraid of wolves than tigers or lions. The reason is that wolves always live in packs, they have a surprising collective spirit, the ability to obey orders, organized hunting combined with a sharp sense of smell, flexible bodies and a ferocious nature, the prey they target almost always dies, with little chance of escape.

Therefore, although the lion is extremely majestic, the tiger is the king of the jungle, the green forest killer is known as the most courageous and resilient hunter.
To do this, we cannot ignore the efforts of the alpha wolf, known as the “Alpha wolf”. He is the spiritual leader, also the one who leads and organizes the whole team to fight together. The more brave, strong and determined the alpha wolf is, the more courageous, brave and ferocious his pack becomes.
In lessons on competitiveness and protecting your interests, learning how to think like an alpha wolf will help you get closer to success. The most special are the following 5 characteristics:
1. Persistence, endurance and concentration
Once the alpha wolf has decided on its prey, it will require the whole pack to continuously monitor it for a long time, possibly up to several days, no matter how difficult and dangerous the journey is, no matter how far the prey’s escape route is. They only stop when they have successfully hunted and killed their prey, never giving up halfway.
Search, detect, pursue and seize; this is the law of survival for wolves.

A man who wants to do great things always knows how to set lofty goals for himself. On the path to pursuing his goals, they will also encounter certain obstacles and difficulties. Only those who are fearless, persistent, dare to think and dare to do and never give up can go all the way.
This is the mindset that a strong person should have.
2. Lying on thorns and tasting gall, being cruel to oneself
A wise hunter like a wolf will never attack its prey rashly and without calculation. If the chance of winning is not high, they often know how to hide and conceal themselves.
Besides, wolves are also especially patient, willing to lie on thorns and taste gall to wait for the opportunity. They constantly change positions, even put themselves in hardship, to increase the overall success of the pack. Especially with the leader wolf, to lead everyone to victory, they are not only cruel to their prey but also cruel to themselves.

When people fall into a disadvantageous situation, we must also learn to endure and wait for the most suitable opportunity. A typical example is the success of Sima Yi during the Three Kingdoms period. He quietly hid his talent and ambition for ten years, waiting until Cao Cao passed away, the new ruler was not capable enough, then revealed his sharp point and won in the blink of an eye.
3. Unity, the pack is above all
Wolves are cold-blooded animals but have the most famous pack behavior. This behavior is even more evident when the whole pack goes hunting. The leader of the pack is the one who clearly divides labor and requires strict implementation.
Under its leadership, the whole pack unites towards a unified goal. They always advance and retreat together and are never fickle. Thanks to this spirit of solidarity, they will minimize damage while ensuring maximum benefits.

Today’s society is no longer suitable for fighting alone. If a person wants to stand firm, he must first learn to unite the strength and resources around him.
As the American author Ken Blanchard once wrote: “None of us is as smart as all of us”, that is, none of us is as smart as all of us. If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together!
4. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle
Once they have set their sights on a target, wolves will always respect and never look down on their opponents. They prepare a lot for hunting, not risking their lives for pride. When they encounter a stronger enemy like a lion in full strength, they will not take the initiative to fight because they know that winning but suffering heavy losses is no different from losing the battle.
The same applies to life, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy is the key to achieving great victories.
5. Know how to use cunning and cunning tactics
Speaking of hunting tactics, no one in the whole green forest can compete with wolves for first place. If they encounter large, ferocious species, they show off their endurance. If they hunt small, agile species, they show off their ability to win quickly.

For example, in a confrontation with a herd of bison, the leader of the wolf pack will choose the most potential candidates: the youngest, the weakest. When giving the command, the whole pack will rush in, causing panic to separate the prey from the majority. After that, the race begins and the victory naturally belongs to the more cunning species.
It can be seen that knowing how to use strategy and intelligence will help us achieve victory more easily, find a shorter path to success.
