Be a paradox - ruthless and kind, disciplined and untamed, humble and proud, dangerous and gentle, skeptical and faithful, proletarian and aristocratic, cold in judgment and warm in affection, patient in strategy and decisive in action, private yet magnetic, ambitious without desperation, powerful without cruelty, civilized without becoming soft, and independent without becoming isolated.
Everything in life can be taken away from you and generally will be at some point.
Your wealth vanishes, the latest gadgetry suddenly becomes passé, your allies desert you.
But if your mind is armed with the art of war, there is no power that can take that away.
In the middle of a crisis, your mind will find its way to the right solution.
Having superior strategies at your fingertips will give your maneuvers irresistible force.
As Sun-tzu says, “Being unconquerable lies with yourself.
The greatest battle of all is with yourself—your weaknesses, your emotions, your lack of resolution in seeing things through to the end. You must declare unceasing war on yourself.
