The Art of War
Do I have the wisdom to find a way to win completely without having to fight or tear down my opponent?
📝ONGO's Reflection
People often think of it as a book about the techniques of war, but the Art of War I read is a philosophy of peace and survival. The highest strategy Sun Tzu emphasizes is not to utterly crush the enemy, but to subdue your opponent without fighting and win while keeping everything intact—the ideal of victory without battle. It shines with the wisdom of responding flexibly amid fierce competition without losing oneself, and of triumphing while preserving both yourself and your opponent.
"To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."Sun Tzu, The Art of War
"백 번 싸워 백 번 이기는 것이 최선이 아니다. 싸우지 않고 적을 굴복시키는 것이 최선이다."
