"لا تتحرك إلا إذا رأيت ميزة؛ لا تستخدم قواتك إلا إذا كان هناك ما يمكن كسبه؛ لا تقاتل إلا إذا كان الموقف حرجًا."
— Sun Tzu
Simplified Meaning:
The quote is telling us to only take action when it really matters and when there's something good to gain from it. Imagine you're playing a game like chess. You wouldn’t move your pieces just for the sake of moving them; you'd move them if it helps you win. Similarly, if you’re managing a team at work, you shouldn’t ask them to do something unless it will truly benefit the project. Don't waste effort and resources on unnecessary tasks; save your energy for when it's most important. This advice helps you focus on meaningful actions instead of being busy for no good reason. By doing this, you make smarter decisions and use your time and resources wisely.
