Sun Tzu’s “Art of War”
I just wrapped up Sun Tzu’s “Art of War.” I am amazed that that something as complicated as the organization for battle can be explained with simplicity and in such a forumulaic fashion. One of my favorite statements came from the Nine Situations:
The following are the principles to be observed by an invading force: The further you penetrate into a country, the greater will be the solidarity of your troops, and thus the defenders will not prevail against you.
Fully apllicable in life, church, faith, family, business, and football-the best defense is a good offense. Once headway has been made into enemy territory, it is best not to retreat for the purpose of consolidating gains. Rather, it is preferable to continue advancing, winning, and succeeding.

I read that… my favorite part was telling people… I’m reading a book by Sun Tzu
