Sun Tzu was a Chinese military strategist who wrote The Art of War. This document describes many aspects of warfare and identifies different factors and strategies that leads to victory in battles. It’s not only considered as one of the most important military texts in history, but these concepts are also applied to debates, legal fights, businesses competitions, and anything else that use tactics and strategies. One well-known line in this document is a common saying that Sun Tzu finds true in military strategy:
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” (Chapter 3, line 18)
This line reveals a consistent theme that the keys to victories are knowing your opponent and knowing yourself.

You can predict moves before they happen, lead opponents to traps, make important decisions, etc, to defeat or destroy your opponents. Read More →
