"古代の人々が賢い戦士と呼んでいたのは、勝つだけでなく、容易に勝利することに優れた者です。"
— Sun Tzu
Simplified Meaning:
A clever warrior not only wins battles but does so effortlessly. Imagine two school students competing in a spelling bee. Both students know how to spell difficult words, but one of them finds it exhausting and stressful, while the other makes it look easy. The second student isn't just good at spelling; they're so well-prepared that they hardly break a sweat. That’s what this quote is talking about – being so skilled at something that you make it seem simple. It’s not just about winning; it’s about making winning look easy. In everyday life, this wisdom teaches us that true mastery means becoming so good at what we do that it no longer feels challenging. For instance, a musician who practices daily can perform complex pieces smoothly, while a less skilled player struggles.
