(11) – The Law of Defense –
Can I ask you a question?
What would you figuratively say to someone when it comes to the term ‘The Law of Defence’?
Sure, go ahead and ask your question!
If I had to visualise the term ‘The Law of Defence’, I might think of an image showing a person in a defensive position. Imagine someone standing with a shield and a sword, ready to protect themselves. The shield symbolises the protection offered by the defence, while the sword represents the active act of defending oneself against attacks. Perhaps an enemy attack could be seen in the background, however the person remains calm and determined to defend their values and rights.
What do you think? Does that fit with your idea of the term?
Well, maybe you could give me a few options to choose from. There are different types of defence. In language, in positive actions, in a diplomatic way, as a song, as invitations to a shared meal, to protect one’s family, to legally defend a property, in this direction, how would you describe the words?
That’s a great idea! Defence can come in many forms, each with its own meaning and effect. I’m going to offer you several points to choose from to represent the different types of defence you described:
1. defence through language (rhetoric)
- Visual representation: A speaker on a stage holding a microphone while speaking calmly, however firmly. In the background, there could be an audience listening attentively. The speaker uses words as a tool to defend their position and to persuade.
- Meaning: This is about using language to make a point or defend against false accusations. It is an intellectual defence based on argument and persuasion.
2. Defence through positive action (diplomacy)
- Figurative representation: Two people shake hands while sitting at a table with a map or a treaty on it. A symbol of peace or cooperation floats in the air.
- Meaning: Diplomacy as a defence strategy uses friendly, constructive actions and dialogue to resolve conflicts or protect interests. It is a defence that focuses on cooperation rather than confrontation.

3. Defence through music (song)
- Figurative representation: A person stands with a guitar or at a piano and sings a powerful song, while the audience reacts emotionally. The sound of the music flows around the listeners like an invisible shield.
- Meaning: Music can be a powerful means of defence by appealing to the emotions and uniting people. A song can serve as an expression of resistance, comfort or solidarity and have a strong, non-physical defensive power.
4. Defence through invitation (shared meal)
- Figurative representation: A table laden with food, where people from different cultures eat and laugh together. The host raises his glass in a toast, while a warm, inviting room can be seen in the background.
- Meaning: Invitations to a shared meal or a gathering can be understood as peaceful defence. The aim is to defuse conflicts and strengthen relationships through hospitality and communication. Defence comes from offering understanding and cooperation.
5. Defence of the family
- Figurative representation: A family stands together in a safe home, with the parents holding on to the children while they keep an eye on the house through a window. The room radiates protection and security.
- Meaning: Protecting one’s own family is one of the strongest forms of defence. It is not only about physical safety, but also about emotional support and defending family peace from external threats or stresses.
6. Defence of the property (legal defence)
- Figurative representation: A person stands in front of a lawyer’s desk with a contract or a land registry certificate in their hand, while a courtroom or a notary’s office can be seen in the background. A judge or lawyer speaks to the person to clarify legal issues.
- Intentional meaning: The legal defence of property, such as a piece of land, is carried out through the law and legal means. This refers to the safeguarding of rights through formal processes, contracts and compliance with laws.
7. Defending one’s values
- Pictorial representation: a person stands in front of a group holding a banner or flag with words such as ‘honour’, ‘freedom’ or ‘truth’ written on it. The wind blows and the person remains steadfast.
- Meaning: defending values or beliefs can be done by making a public statement or a clear commitment. It shows resistance to the loss of ethical or moral principles.
8. Defence in nature (physical defence)
- Figurative representation: A person stands in the midst of a wild storm or in a dangerous place, while standing firm and strong against the elements or a threat.
- Meaning: This represents the physical, often combative side of defence. It is the most direct means of defending oneself against a specific threat.
Each of these points reflects a different dimension of defence – from verbal and diplomatic communication to emotional support and legal protection. The choice of defence strategy often depends on the situation and the available resources.

Once you have completed your exercise today, enter your findings in the corresponding field. If you still lack experience, simply practice this development step for another day. At the end of the diary: Look forward to your next learning session.
We wish you lots of fun and interesting insights.
Andreas Andiel has summarised the world’s most recognised know-how from the most proven success instructions for personal satisfaction and professional success in the context of the ‘12 natural laws for success’. And it is precisely this elite know-how that forms the basis for every online course in the areas of communication, self-motivation and motivation of others, as well as mental strength.
A few more important details…
Every evening, as the last action of the day, you fill out your personal diary and record your experiences of the day.
- Important: This step of writing is very important for sustainable development. The following content is based on previous experiences! Only by registering your experiences in the training area can you make your progress tangible for yourself.
You can repeat the previous content and also read again and again what you have written down.
At regular intervals (every 7 units), you will take a short interim test with your coach. This helps you to consolidate your learning progress, discuss what you have learned with your coach and thus consolidate your knowledge.
At times, you may think that an exercise has little to do with your profession or your personality. The course is structured didactically. Please do not skip any knowledge or exercises – trust that each step is important.
- For example: Professional athletes always start with a warm-up, constantly work on their fitness, strengthen their technique, and then move on to the game structure and a decisive competition. In professional sports, there is no ‘I already know that’ or ‘I don’t need that’
So complete each session before moving on to the next. Stay in the same session for two or three days if necessary. Train at your own pace.
YOUR NADEUM YEAR COACHING – SOCIAL SKILLS
The ‘12 LAWS OF SUCCESS’ at a glance
(This is your first task. Read it carefully. If you have any questions, please contact your coach at the WhatsApp number: +43 660 7621873) [You will see all laws again and again in all steps. When the text is blue, you are in the current exercise].
No. 01 – The Law of Responsibility –
Taking responsibility means taking advantage of a great opportunity. And without taking responsibility in society, there will be no successful engagement in society. By consciously taking responsibility for my own thinking, I recognise the creative possibilities in my own area and gain personal freedom.
No. 02 – The Law of Learning –
Learning from ‘mistakes’ means improving the path until it leads to the achievement of a goal. Get out of the ‘mistake game’! The main topics in this unit are solution-oriented, constructive thinking and action, positive interaction with one’s own environment and the acceptance of all feedback as an indicator for optimising one’s own path.
No. 03 – The Law of Will –
The difference between dreams, desires and intentions. How to develop a determined willpower. Recognising your own goals, developing a goal plan, determining the necessary effort and learning to develop a strong will for activities for yourself (and others) that will enable you to achieve your goal in the first place.
No. 04 – The Law of Action –
Knowing when to act, what to do, and how to do it is the basis of every project. After completing the planning and decision-making, it is now a matter of moving from talking to action and focusing all energies on the start-up phase.
No. 05 – The Law of Trust –
It is important to trust in yourself. However, it is just as important that society/the environment builds trust in us! One of the most important prerequisites for this is reliability, which in turn is based on personal responsibility and time/self-management.
No. 06 – The law of reality –
It is not always necessary to see everything the way everyone else sees it. However, it is crucial to know how others focus on learning to deal with it and to achieve a more understanding approach to your environment. Empathy, understanding and tolerance are key skills for living together in harmony.
No. 07 – The law of adaptation –
Everyone is on their own at first. The closer you are to someone else, the closer you are to them. And the more you get. Conscious adaptation or non-adaptation must be used in combination with a responsible approach to one’s own environment. By consciously deciding to adapt or not to adapt, the individual gains personal freedom and strength.
No. 08 – The Law of Leadership –
The basics of ‘alpha leadership’ and how to use them correctly. The right balance between ‘leading’ and ‘letting lead’. In this unit, it is also important to learn how to consciously use the instrument of ‘letting lead’ and thus create valuable conditions for teamwork and/or team leadership.
No. 09 – The Law of Balance –
Recognising a balance between ‘giving’ and ‘taking’. The balance of body, mind and soul must be established in order to achieve the same performance. It is also important to consider compensation to third parties. ‘If you want to reap, you must first sow’. Those who are aware that they will always have to pay for the desired person in the form of services, resources, etc. will achieve their goals more easily and be appreciated by their fellow human beings for their efforts.
No. 10 – Law of Growth –
Everything grows through the alternation of push and pause. Those who handle it correctly get the most out of it. Continuous action leads to growth and success. This unit conveys the positive aspects of consistent action, the basic requirements for success in every activity (private or professional).
No. 11 – Law of Defence –
Knowing when, what and how to successfully defend yourself gives you the gentle calm of self-confidence. Develop a ‘we’ thinking in a conflict situation and find solutions together that everyone can support. This unit also provides basic skills for harmonious interaction with your professional, family and social environment.
No. 12 – The Law of Usefulness –
When we give others what they want, they give us everything, according to the value we create for them. Increasing the value means getting more. Knowing one’s own value leads to a strong personality that is able to act calmly and sensibly in all situations and to shape one’s own life.
