33 Strategies of War

Our success and failure in life depends on how well or how badly we deal with conflicts that comes in our society

Strategic warriors think ahead toward their long term goals, decides which fights to avoid and which are inevitable, they also know how to control and channel or change their emotions

When your forced to fight do so with indirect and subtle maneuver and making your move hard to trace. 

Strategy is derived from Greek word "Strategos" meaning "the leader of the army"

More you think and plan ahead of time, more chances of your success

Self is the friend of a man, who masters himself through the self, but for a man without self-mastery, the self is like enemy at war - Bhagwat Geeta

The moment you aim for result you are in realm of strategy.

Look at things as they are, not as your emotions color them

Fear will make you overestimate the enemy and act too defensively

Anger and impatience will draw you into rash actions that will cut of your options

Love and affection will blind you to the poisonous moves of those who are on your side

More you cab limit or compensate for your emotional response, the closure you will come to this ideal

Judge People by their actions 

Apply this ruthless standard to judge people only by results of their actions, deeds that can be seen and measured, moves they have used to gain power

Look at what people have done, as deeds don't lie

People who accuse you of being unfair, who try to make you feel guilty, who talk about justice and morality ( right or wrong) are basically trying to gain advantage on the chess board 


Depend on your own arms

Everything in your life is materialistic and can be take away, your wealth vanishes, latest gadgetaries passes away, allies or friends desert you, but if mind is equipped with warrior mindset not one can take this away.

Being unconquerable lies with yourself

Elevate Yourselves above the battlefield 


Life is a battle and struggle, you you constantly find yourself facing bad situations, destructive relationships, dangerous engagements. How you overcome these difficulties will determine your fate.

Your obstacle is not rivers, mountains, or people, your obstacle is yourself.

If you feel lost and confused, if you lose your sense of direction, if you can't differentiate between friend and enemy, you have only yourself to blame.

Changing your perspective shall transform you from confused soldier to creative fighter.

Who is your enemy ?
It can be someone who blocks your path, sabotages you, someone who has hurt you, someone who has fought you unfairly 

Your enemy is the polar star that guides you. Given that direction you can enter into battle.

He who is not with me, is against me 

A dominating presence has more pull than likeability. Let some public hate you, you can not please everyone


Do not crowd into center, because everyone else is around you so there is no space to fight, instead polarize people, drive some of them away from you and create space for battle.

Constant battle will keep you strong and alert.

Do not depend on the enemy not coming, depend rather on being ready for him.

Say or do something that can be read by others in more than one way, your act or words should look superficially polite, indicating coolness in your side but at the same time subtle insult to others. This way, your friend may wonder and let it pass but enemy will react with anger. 

Any strong emotions that you notice, understand that there is something boiling under surface.

Best way to get people to reveal themselves is to provoke tension and arguments.

People tend to be vague or slippery because it is safer than outwardly committing to something 

If you pick an argument with someone and he keeps mimicking your ideas, you may be dealing with chameleon, particularly dangerous type.

If friends or followers whom you suspect of hidden motives, against your interest or simply odd, avoid the temptation to react, to say no, to get angry or even to question them. Just go with the flow or seem to turn blind eye; In this way your enemy may go further and show more of their hands. Once you have them on sight, attack them.


Take aim at leader or key member of the circle, by hitting on him regularly eventually men hiding behind him should show up.

Through the battle with peers, then parents, children learn to adapt to the world and develop their strategies to deal with problems.

Children who avoid conflicts at all costs, who has overprotective parents ends up being handicapped socially and mentally.

Being attacked is a sign that your are important enough to be a target.

If you count on safety and do not thin of danger, if you do not know enough to be wary when enemies arrive, this is called sparrow nesting on tent, fish swimming in metal pot! - They wont last a day!

Keep your suspicion to yourself, so that if you are wrong, no one will know.

Sometimes you must force yourself to strike out in a new direction even if it involves risk. You may loose comfort and security, but you will gain a surprise by making it harder for your enemy to tell what you will do.
