5 most powerful Military tactics that will make you successful in life

Hello everyone today I’m going to tell you the summary about a book which is thousands of years old but its principles and teachings are still valid and are being recommended by many professionals even some countries have included this book in their military syllabus as well. And the book is called “The Art of War” by SUN TZU and translated by THOMAS CLEARY. It was made to teach military strategies.

You would be thinking that Why am I sharing this book of War and Strategy with you guys?

Because of the reason that its principles are not only applicable in war but in our personal lives and businesses too. So in order to achieve goals in life we need to fight with different constrains.

So here are the 5 principles that will help you in achieving anything in life.

1. When to Fight and When to Not

Winning is always considered better than losing but everyone loses when the war is not worth fighting for. Now here I would tell you about the incident that happened to my class mate, they were playing a cricket tournament and while playing they began to quarrel among themselves. And my class mate was beaten with a bat and he fainted, after that he was taken to the hospital. However, sadly after a few days he died. Now look at the situation just because of the simple game one person became a criminal and the other one lost his life. Many times it happens that people start fighting on useless things. They never think that fighting is never the best option even if it’s between the people or the countries. Loss will have to be paid off by the innocent ones. Because in every war 3 things are very important TIME, MONEY and Energy or you may call it Life. We can utilize these 3 elements in other aspects of life and proper. So my friends always remember that the one who avoids fighting at times is considered as smart and courageous until or unless fighting is the last option.

2. If Opponent has Choleric Temper then Irritate Him

In sports and cricket you must have seen that if a player of one team is playing well then the opponents try to pass different comments in order to make him angry. Because of the reason that if the player would be influenced by his emotions he would most likely to make mistakes which would be beneficial for the opponent team. So always remember that staying calm in pressure and not letting your emotions overcome your performance is the key to success.

If I talk in business terminology human beings are emotionally driven creatures, we take decisions on the basis of our emotions that is the reason companies use this emotional appeal in their marketing campaigns. You tell me why are you loyal to a single brand in smartphones like why are you loyal to Samsung or Apple? Remember many people and organizations use this manipulation technique to intrigue your negative emotions because of the fact that negative emotions are much more powerful than positive ones. Media, politicians and different companies use this approach to gain the desired outcomes.

Key is to keep calm and think logically while making any decision in life but do not overthink ;)

3. Know thy enemy and yourself

So if you know your enemy and yourself too then the chances are you will surely win. Many people fail because of the fact that they don’t even know themselves. Let’s take the example of an interview, people are that much conscious about getting a job that when they are called for an interview they don’t even bother to know about the company, what’s their business and in which industry are they operating. And most importantly how an interviewee can help achieving goals of the organization. And honestly not knowing about these things would not be very impressive. Let’s leave the company many people don’t even know their own selves. For example most commonly asked questions are “Tell me about yourself, “Your strengths and your weaknesses” but sadly many people fail to answer these questions and end up losing a job.  They don’t know the answers that is acceptable but the problem lies when they don’t even bother to know the answers.

Key is to know yourself properly and then the other person you are dealing with, it will surely bring success in your life and help you achieve what so ever you desire.

4.  All Warfare are Based on Deception

Now a days everyone wants attention talking in terms of your friends to the giant organizations, these organizations spend millions on advertisements in order to grab the attention of the people, because of the reason that attention of people is very important to them, it will bring revenue to the firm and make it much more profitable, but the problem is whether their benefit is our benefit or not?

Let’s take the example, whenever I think about writing a blog, many distractions come in my way like notifications of different games on my cellphones, texts and calls from my friends, movies, songs and so on. Now the result is I am still determined in coming up with different blogs but these distractions make my work slow and I get late in writing a blog, because avoiding these distractions is very difficult indeed. I’m sure you guys also face such distractions in your daily life and when you get distracted towards them so sadly saying you lose a

nd they win.

Key is to avoid the deceptions and focus on your own goals which are beneficial for you and will make you a successful person.

5. Prepare Before Hand to take Enemy Unprepared

This point reminds of a story I read in my childhood about Ants and Grasshoppers, in which once a grasshopper was sitting having meal and enjoying the day, suddenly a group of ants catches his attention who were taking food along, he asked them where are you taking this food? Ants replied: “we are saving this food for winters because it’s very difficult to find food in winter season and you should also do the same”. Grasshopper started laughing and said “No thanks I will do this later” having said that we went away. After a few months right before winters Grasshopper again saw the ants taking food, Ants told him that winter is coming start saving the food. But the stubborn Grasshopper never listened to them and said that “I will find food in winters too, so don’t worry” and then the winters started so what happened was the ants were enjoying and having food at their homes but on the other hand after trying really hard Grasshopper was unable to find food and he started crying and saying that he should’ve listened to the ants and saved some food for the winters, but it was TOO LATE.

Many people are like this Grasshopper, they don’t save money for the time of crisis, stay unhealthy and because of that they always get depressed about their lives.

Always remember that IF YOU WANT TO BECOME A WINNER THEN PREPARE BEFORE HAND TO FACE TOUGH SITUATIONS. By doing this you will not only be happy but also a step forward from the others.
