Once your basic mind is settled,
you should just tune it and order it,
making it calm and stable,
undisturbed by events,
not deluded by prospects of gain.

Re: The Art of War by Sun-Tzu

Also, if a general lacks planning ability to
access the officers and place them in positions
where they can use the best of their abilities,
instead assigning them automatically and
thus not making full use of their talents,
then the army will become hesitant.

appropriate ways.

Re: The Art of War by Sun-Tzu

of main arteries linking together numerous
highway systems: First occupy this ground,
and the people will have to go with you.
So if you get it, you are secure; if you lose it,
you are in peril.

strength.
