00:31Greetings!
00:33The courage of an army man lies in his physical strength.
00:37However, the courage of an army commander lies in his ability to lead all his soldiers successfully.
00:45The courage to think differently.
00:48The courage to anticipate what is going to happen.
00:51The courage to take action against it.
00:55The courage to show his weakness as a strength to the enemy.
01:01History has met many army commanders with such qualities.
01:07Today, I am going to show you a story of a great warrior who started his life as a great commander and gave two great victories to the world.
01:23At the end of the 1800s, in the Boer War in Africa, the commander was responsible for defending the area called Mafeking.
01:33He had only about 1,500 soldiers and a few warriors.
01:39Using them, he destroyed about 9,000 Boer troops who had gained strength and could not enter the fort for more than 200 days.
01:50With his intelligence, he destroyed many of the Boer troops and saved his position by losing only 326 soldiers.
02:01He is none other than Lord Baron Paul, who left the army and joined the Saareners.
02:10On February 22, 1857, Baron Paul was born in Parrington, London.
02:18He was the eighth of ten children.
02:20When he was three years old, his father passed away.
02:24From a young age, he was skinny and thin.
02:29There was a forest around the church in the area called Saray.
02:33The schoolchildren were not allowed to enter the forest.
02:38But Baron Paul would somehow get everyone's eyes out of the mud and enter the forest.
02:45How to hide and catch animals, how to make a fire, how to catch a rabbit and how to cook, etc.
02:53He would explore the forest on his own.
02:56Some teachers would pour oil into their eyes to catch students who went into the forest against the law.
03:04Baron Paul was very fond of going into the forest and enjoying himself.
03:11He was not very good at school.
03:14At the end of his year, the teacher wrote that he was not good at math,
03:19and that he often fell asleep when he was bored in class.
03:25The teachers must have said that he was not good enough for anything.
03:30Even though he was good at his studies, he came second in a general election run for the army.
03:38He served in India, Afghanistan, and South Africa.
03:43At the age of 43, he was promoted to the rank of Major General.
03:50Baron Paul had a different way of thinking.
03:54He used a variety of tactics to suppress the enemy.
03:59For example, he would go into the forest with a tin can full of mud.
04:05Once, he filled the tin can with mud and blew it up,
04:11causing the enemy to fear that he might have bigger guns.
04:16Many times, he would meet the enemy and learn their secrets,
04:22and act according to his plan.
04:26He published a book called Aids to Scouting,
04:31after the war in Africa.
04:36It was written as a book for the army.
04:40When he returned to Britain after the war in Africa,
04:44he saw that the whole of England,
04:48including the nobles and the nobles,
04:52were following his footsteps.
04:55Baron Paul was seen as a hero by the English.
04:59The book, Aids to Scouting,
05:03which he wrote for the use of the army,
05:06was also used by the common people for peacekeeping.
05:10With the knowledge of hundreds of young people and students,
05:15Baron Paul began to receive letters.
05:18He remembered that the young people who were subordinate to him
05:23would do anything for him.
05:26Baron Paul believed that if a boy was given responsibility,
05:30that boy would become an even more responsible boy.
05:35In 1907, he invited 22 young people
05:39to train in the fields of life,
05:43and set up a camp in Brownsea near Dorset.
05:48There were rich boys and poor boys in the camp.
05:53At that time, Baron Paul did not realize what he was doing.
05:58But that camp was the camp set up by the British Empire
06:02to create the Saarener League.
06:05In that camp, Baron Paul tested new practices.
06:09He made a lot of changes in the book he wrote for the army.
06:14The book that came out with the changes he made was
06:17the book called Scouting for Boys.
06:20As soon as the book came out, the Saarener League began to grow.
06:25Saarener clubs were set up all over the country.
06:28Women who wanted bravery and play began to demand
06:32that the Saarener League should be set up for them.
06:36The League grew rapidly, and King Edward VII was frightened.
06:41He called Baron Paul and asked him to leave the army
06:45and lead the Saarener League as a whole.
06:49Baron Paul, who was hesitant at first,
06:52left the army as the king asked and began to work for the Saarener League.
06:57He showed the progress and intelligence he had shown in the army
07:01in the development of the Saarener League for the next 30 years.
07:05He also created the Girl Guides League for women.
07:09In some years, those who joined the Saarener League
07:12honored Baron Paul by giving the title of Generation Saarener.
07:1628 countries including Czechoslovakia, Greece, and Hungary honored him.
07:22King George V honored him with the title of Lord.
07:26He became Lord Baron Paul.
07:29He was honored with the title of Doctor for six years.
07:34Lord Baron Paul, who gave the world two high ranks
07:38with his talent and skill,
07:41died on January 8, 1941 at the age of 83.
07:48Robert Baron Paul, a poor man buried in his grave in Kenya,
07:52is the world's first generation Saarener.
07:57The Saarener League, founded by Lord Baron Paul in 1907,
08:02is now spread all over the world and operates in more than 150 countries.
08:08For years, millions of students have joined the Saarener League with pride
08:14and have learned some life skills and crafts.
08:18Lord Baron Paul, who made all this possible,
08:21is the one who was taught by the teachers that he was worthy of the school.
08:26Do you know what is the motto that Saareners take up all over the world?
08:31One day, what is missing is to do at least one good thing.
08:37What a noble motto!
08:39Just like the Saareners,
08:41if all the people of the world take up that motto,
08:45imagine how great a place the world can become.
08:50Then you will understand the value of the wealth that Lord Baron Paul has left us.
08:55We do not have to be a Saarener and take up such a motto.
09:00Just like Lord Baron Paul,
09:02if everyone is determined to do something good in their lives,
09:07then that sky will be a haven for everyone.
09:20The sky will be a haven
09:25for everyone
09:30The sky will be a haven
