"هنگامی که دشمن آرام است، آن‌ها را به کار وا دار. هنگامی که سیرند، آن‌ها را گرسنه نگه دار. هنگامی که مستقرند، آن‌ها را به حرکت درآور."

Simplified Meaning:

This quote advises taking advantage of your opponent's weaknesses or times when they are unprepared. If someone you are competing with is resting, that's the perfect time to make them work hard or put pressure on them. If they have everything they need and feel secure, find ways to cut off their supplies or resources. If they feel comfortable and have settled down, disrupt their sense of calm and shake things up. A real-life example could be in sports. Imagine you are playing a soccer match. When the other team seems tired and is not paying much attention, increase your team's efforts and push harder to score. If the opposing team seems confident and has a strong defense, change your strategy to break through their line of defense and make them less comfortable. If they are keeping their positions well and are hard to beat, try new tactics to unsettle them and make them make mistakes. In everyday life, this might mean that if you face a challenge or competition, don't always go head-to-head in the usual way. Look for moments when your competition is weak or unprepared, and make your move then. Always keep them guessing and never let them get too comfortable. By doing this, you increase your chances of succeeding and staying ahead.
