Compromises should be made for strategic design Deny information to your foes/opponents Only fight when the chances of victory are in your favour Create a favourable situation ahead of time and before you begin Let your subordinate leaders lead Concealed in strength is weakness, and in weakness, strength In each advantage lies the seeds of disadvantage; the reverse is also true "Uproar in the east, strike in the west" Discipline leads to strength Be alert; be mobile; be adaptable Avoid the solid, attack the hollow "Rivers are deep because they absorb small streams" Just giving out orders blindly does not work Without a goal, you will lose conviction Self-discipline will build a tower of strength Prioritise and execute Be open to all sources of knowledge There is always more to know You absorb the most information when you are relaxed You are not everything you think you are, but you can become more than what you think you can be The things you do today will affect you in years to come Consistency is key in all things The people that are successful decide they are going to be successful Choose to become who you want to become; overcome nature and nurture, they both hold no more sway over you and your future than you allow them to Get after it.
