WORDS OF WISDOM
Emotions
Fear will make you overestimate the enemy and act too defensively. Anger and impatience will draw you into rash action that will cut off your options. Overconfident, particularly as a result of success, will make you go too far. Love and affection will blind you to the treacherous maneuvers of those apparently on your side. [1]
Tactician v. Strategist
Tactical people are heavy and stuck in the ground; strategists are light on their feet and can see far and wide. [2]
Without war human beings stagnate in comfort and affluence and lose the capacity for great thoughts and feeling,
They become cynical and subside into barbarism.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
(1821 – 1881)[3]
Important of Strategies
War, or any kind of conflict, is waged and won through strategy. Think of strategy as a series of lines and arrows aimed at a goal… before directing these arrows at your enemies; however, you must first direct them at yourself.
Your mind is the starting point of all war and all strategy. A mind that easily overwhelmed by emotion, that is rooted in the past instead of the present that cannot see the world with clarity and urgency… [4]
Become a true strategist
To become a true strategist, you must take three steps:
1. Become aware of the weakness and illness that can take hold of the mind, warping its strategic powers.
2. Declare a kind of war on yourself to make yourself move forward
3. Wage ruthless and continual battle on the enemies within you by applying certain strategies. [5]
Obstacles
… Your obstacles are not rivers or mountain or other people; your obstacle is YOURSELF. [6]
Constant battle
Constant battle will keep you strong and alert. [7]
See with own eye
While mayor, I made it my policy to see with my own eyes the scene of every crisis so I could evaluate it firsthand. [8]
