“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
— Sun Tzu

Simplified Meaning:
Keep your ideas and intentions private, like keeping secrets in the dark where nobody can see them. When you finally put your plans into action, do it quickly and powerfully, taking everyone by surprise. Imagine an athlete training in secret for a big competition. They don't tell anyone how hard they're working. Then, on the day of the event, they perform incredibly well, leaving everyone amazed by their unexpected skill. By not revealing their preparations, they catch their competitors off guard and have a better chance of winning. In your life, if you keep your goals and strategies to yourself and act decisively, you can achieve your objectives more effectively and with greater impact.
