The Art of War

孫子兵法
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Do you have your own quiet strategy to win without fighting?

📝ONGO's Reflection

The classic of all classics among books on warfare. Yet what I found, reading it from beginning to end, was not the art of bloody battle but the supreme wisdom of avoiding the fight and keeping the peace. Sunzi declares that to win a hundred battles out of a hundred is not the highest good; the highest good is to subdue the enemy without fighting at all. Amid the conflicts great and small that surround my life, I have often clashed emotionally and burned through my energy. This book teaches the way of becoming truly strong—reducing needless friction, reading the flow of a situation, and taking the advantage naturally.

— ONGO · Curator
"To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill."
Sun Tzu, The Art of War
"싸우지 않고 적을 굴복시키는 것이 최상의 용병이다."

In a conflict you're facing now, look for a third path that solves the problem indirectly rather than through direct collision.
