“One mark of a great soldier is that he fight on his own terms or fights not at all.”

Sun Tzu

Simplified Meaning:

A great soldier knows there are smart and effective ways to fight. Imagine a chess player who always plans their moves carefully, thinking ahead to outsmart their opponent instead of just rushing forward. If they play according to their plan, they have a better chance to win. But if they're forced into a chaotic, unplanned game, they might choose not to play at all because it's too risky. In real life, this idea teaches us to be strategic and prepared when facing challenges. For instance, if someone is great at negotiating, they should use their skills rather than getting into heated arguments. By sticking to methods they're good at, they can handle difficult situations more successfully.
