Ancient words of wisdom.


He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight. 
  - pick your battles. you will never win if you fight every fight you are confronted with.

He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces. 
 - adapt. do not become two dimensional. don't complain about not having enough resources. make it work. 

He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks. 
 - morale is important. be a visible and consistent leader. if your employees are happy, they will produce good work. 

He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared. 
 - if you build pro-active strategies, you will rarely need to react defensively. 

He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.
 - Once your teams are going in the right direction, leave them alone. Do NOT micro-manage.
