-While most employees strive to excel, being a high performer can come with drawbacks, including high-pressure goals,
-meeting overload, and reduced flexibility. Retaining your high performers - and developing new ones - is critical in
-today's uncertain, fast-paced business environment. Here's how to do it.
-
-This tip is adapted from
-"[3 Ways to Build a Culture That Lets High Performers Thrive](https://hbr.org/2024/06/3-ways-to-build-a-culture-that-lets-high-performers-thrive)" by Lindsay
-McGregor and Neel Doshi
-
-Minimize Meetings
------------------
-
-Cut down on unnecessary meetings to free up your employees' time for truly impactful work. This means establishing a
-simple, predictable weekly meeting schedule for your team, as well as optimizing your one-on-ones.
-
-Measure Motivation
-------------------
-
-Use surveys regularly to assess your team members' motivation and understand what excites or creates stress for them.
-For example, ask: What habits does the team want to improve? What are some specific ideas to improve those habits? Then
-create quarterly improvement plans to address any pain points.
-
-Mentor High-Potential Employees on Key Skills
----------------------------------------------
-
-To ensure your high performers feel challenged and your developing employees are growing, schedule quarterly
-skill-development meetings for each of your direct reports. Use that time to identify one concrete, high-leverage skill
-(think problem-solving or leadership) for them to improve in the next quarter.

+- Take from their side hostages and a diplomatic agent
+- A broken friendship with them may cause them invading [Cherson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherson_(theme))
+
+### Dealing with Pechenegs and Russians Together

+- When the two are not at peace with each other, __raid Russia hard__ <img />
+- Russia have to maintain a relationship with Pechenegs because
+
+  - It imports indispensable goods from Pechenegs
+  - Russian cannot safely conduct distant and massive invasion unless Pachenegs are happy with not sneak attacking their
+    homes at the back
+
+- We don't have to worry about the Russians in terms of both war and trade if P & R are not happy with each other anyway
