“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in ever”
— Sun Tzu
Simplified Meaning:
Understanding both your own strengths and your opponent’s weaknesses means you can win any fight. If you understand yourself but not your opponent, you will win some fights and lose some fights. If you do not understand yourself or your opponent, you will lose every fight.
