The Secrets of Sun Tzu
Sun Tzu means very specific and
important things when he says that "we must know ourselves and our enemies." The
problem is that most of us lack a deep understanding of the concepts of which
Sun Tzu speaks. This is why our victories are usually far from painless.
If you want to make your successes less painful, we strongly encourage you to
learn the science of strategy. Toward that goal, we hope this article has given
you a little more understanding of what we mean by the "secrets of Sun Tzu."
While Sun Tzu's work might seem like vague aphorisms, nothing could be further
from the truth. Each line of Sun Tzu has a specific meaning and an array of
valuable interpretations. Only study can teach you what success requires and why
Sun Tzu's system has survived for millennia and grown in popularity.
You might want to read our article
on planning versus strategy if you want to learn more about what Sun Tzu
offers. If you already realize (as you should) that you need to learn more, we
recommend that you start on the path to mastering strategy with any of our books or audios or one of our
on-line strategy courses.
