Know your enemy and play to your strength to win the battle

“If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.”-Sun Tze

Keep your wits in the midst of crisis to boost productivity

“Disciplined and calm, to await the appearance of disorder and hubbub amongst the enemy:–this is the art of retaining self-possession.”– Sun Tze

Always be prepared for the inevitable

“The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy’s not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.”- Sze Tze

Seize opportunities to gain more opportunities

“Opportunities multiply as they are seized.”- Sze Tze

Do not be a manipulative ladder-climber. Do what is good for the country or company and you will be rewarded with allies and friends.

“The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.”– Sze Tze

Have a faith for the future

“Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. “– Steve Jobs
