“Wars are not won by fighting battles; wars are won by choosing battles”
— George S. Patton
Simplified Meaning:
Winning a war isn't just about fighting every battle. It's about picking the right battles to fight. Think about two friends trying to win a game of chess. One friend tries to capture every piece the other has, losing many of their own pieces in the process. The other friend, however, carefully decides which pieces to go after and which pieces to sacrifice. In the end, the second friend is more likely to win because they used strategy and didn't waste resources fighting every single battle. This can be applied in everyday life. For example, if you are working on a big project, you don't need to do every single task yourself. Instead, focus on the most important parts that will make the biggest difference. This way, you save time, energy, and increase your chances of success. Being smart about what battles to fight and which ones to avoid can lead to better results.
