“The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.”
— Sun Tzu

Simplified Meaning:
A truly great leader is someone who doesn't focus on getting praise or worrying about being criticized. Instead, they care deeply about doing what's best for their country and their leader. Imagine a firefighter who rushes into burning buildings to rescue people. This firefighter doesn't do it for awards or media attention and isn't scared of being blamed if things go wrong. Their main goal is to save lives and help the community. In the same way, a military leader who acts selflessly, thinking only of the safety and well-being of their people, is extremely valuable and admired. This kind of commitment and dedication is what makes a person truly special and essential for their country.
