“The opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.”
— Sun Tzu

Simplified Meaning:
When someone makes a mistake or shows a weakness, it often gives others a chance to win over them. Think of it like a soccer game: if the goalie on the other team isn't paying attention or makes a wrong move, it becomes easier for your team to score a goal. This concept applies not just in sports, but in other areas too. For example, in business, if a company doesn't keep up with new trends, another company can take advantage of that gap and attract more customers. The main idea is to watch for those moments when others slip up, because that's when you can make your move and succeed. If you want to use this idea in your life, stay observant and ready to act when you notice others' errors or weaknesses.
