    “The Art of War” is the best strategy book ever written, and it’s philosophy is exactly the opposite of what we were taught in school and religion; it’s about focusing on winning every time, by letting your enemy win the small battles, (let him/her gain confidence), so you can win the war at the end; which is symbolic and can be applied to life in general (relations, work, love)...Great Video! 👍

      Really? A dead chinese general is a better military strategist and leader than the Creator God of the Heavens and the earth who commands the Angel Armies of Heaven and the Host? Get ready to compare who’s military strategy and victory is best. The Bible is the greatest strategy book ever written, but mankind does not know the Author, YHVH Adonai Elohim, or spend the time reading His manual to understand it and implement it.

      @@56jnomad I agree with you that the Book given by Adonai is above all others. I have read it many times.
      It has instructions on war and examples of strategy that were given by Him that are similar to those advised by Sun Tzu. We also know that the Bible tells us that all wisdom, knowledge, art, is from Him. It also tells us that we are made in His image - as was General Tzu. Interestingly enough, the Bible also clearly teaches, by instruction and historical narrative, that He is in control of all Kings and Empires because He is the Ruler of the Universe. So, I see an overlap in the wisdom on war given by Tzu with the Bible because the ultimate source of all true wisdom is YHVH.

    Listening to this quick summary (having read the full book twice over the last 20 years but not with application in mind), suddenly, all the metaphors as applied to an unfair office situation confronting me for years become crystal clear - the metaphors are finally elucidated, even though I'm just about to the leave the job. A critical "battle" awaits and I know how to avoid it and get the best victory possible in the situation. Hint: troops and defenses can equal personal allies or sympathizers or different project areas, different job duties in your overall portfolio of duties or special projects, and their corresponding corroborators and their relationship to your defense or influence with key evaluators. The size of forces may be impact of given work product on supervisor versus the time it takes, or the impact of a certain work product to a key courted ally outside of and even above your supervisor's orbit, but at the potential expense to the goals of your supervisor who can cut your legs out from under you in a prestige war. Strategic ground can be the time approaching a deadline and the relative wiggle room afforded a delay. The long game is actually easier than the short game because one can slowly reverse the periphery of influence around the power suppressing you by courting rapport from key indirect vectors of support that can can then counter an anticipated calumny campaign by your super who is trying to cut the tallest flower and prove superiority or justify their value added contribution even if you know more and deliver a superior product. The short game is much harder to win. The strength of a particular collaboration, or party that can exercise oversight against your enemy can be co-opted by your enemy but that cooptation can be overcome by indirect means. Fighting asymmetrically as all subordinates must, requires far more energy and time than otherwise but developing iron discipline can yield eventual triumph bc you can use weekends or nights to anticipate attacks through ongoing documentation of all you do in each job area and an anticipation of likely unfair criticisms you can preempt or counter. Knowing one's own weaknesses well can help you vitally choose battles, not fight a battle directly (say for fair appraisal of a particular contribution that's ignored or misevaluated even if incredible), make a wise TIME investment based on covering key coming vulnerability before they leave you wide open for defeat, or recovering from a past miscalculation and then slowly pivoting round back to your original contribution so that its glory is repurposed and adapted to serve a new situation, perhaps to a new audience or perhaps in a different project that serves a better interest of the super. Choosing the battle, appraising the strength of forces within your own portfolio of abilities and achievements, within your super's array of tools (and propensities) to suppress, slander, isolate, bog, exclude, misappraise, deceive, bamboozle, demoralize, or otherwise mistreat, contain, appropriate or undermine you or your ideas will help you know what is winnable and what is not in WHAT TIME FRAME.
    Some strategies to avoid defeat and ensure victory in a mounting workplace battle:
    The following give you a LOT of the material necessary to counter a surprise attack, to choose which battle to skip, wage, delay or capitulate to in order to obtain the greatest realistic gain the rival(s) and situation are likely to afford.
    Make a careful habit ASAP to constantly read, TRACK (in a document or folder so you can see the signs accumulate over time and not be left with a strong impression that's short on facts despite many facts having transpired) all the subtle hints of disapproval, circumvention, dismissal, diminishment, misrepresentation, strategic omission, isolation from outside observers or collaborators, the use of unequal yardsticks, sabotage, derision, and coldness. Note these hints and acts in short bullets each day. It is especially important to document outright bullies in written notes upon each instance. You'll be impressed at what eventually coagulates. Note also what conspicuously is NOT said vesus what is shown to others, what is given or conferred to even underperforming coworkers or colleagues, including shows of relaxedness, humor, leniency, praise or friendliness, but which is distinctly withheld from you for no reason or BECAUSE you did your job well whereas the sycophant or clique member did not.
    Observe like a hawk and TRACK in Writing to yourself referencing emails or e-messages/texts that evince key flip flops, shifts of direction, preference contradictions, changes of evaluation parameters or evaluations, the summary of facts or enacted examples. While very hard to habitually instill and sustain, organized, omgoing, documented lists of contradictions by your enemies and clear, documented consistency by yourself can unravel and unlock the snares of saboteurs, maligners, two-faced liars, nasty excluders, bullies and pathetically, maliciously envious knaves who cut you down for through the roof accomplishments, even though you never wanted to steal any of their rep or credit, never aimed to apply for a rival post, take them down, etc.
    The threat your honest, hardwon and even unambiguous achievements pose that is so easy to overlook is that they can make the rival or super's own work, knowledge, output, accuracy, etc. appear mediocre, incompetent, or a downright liability by comparison. Especially those with asymmetric decision power or ally networks will quickly move to contain, constantly undermine, demoralize, ignore and berate you even if you can prove that the claims are meritless. That's the threat you pose. Act in awareness of this fact. But if you must act against this awareness:
    Constantly cover your tracks against their self-serving treachery by carefully wording emails far ahead of time, far before they expect that you're onto them that, by being specific and NOT using pronouns like "it" or "the thing we discussed" to preempt future distortion or claims against you and the documented record of your work, and carefully amassing the time stamped, long term record that shows you reporting the duties you discharged, that proves you got approval for courses of action taken, for tasks undertaken, etc.,
    If you have time, start as soon as possible at making a circle of allies OUTSIDE OF and unknown to or unaffected by the cohort of enemies or rivals. Do a nice thing for someone you know your super or rival has tried to poison falsely against you but that they don't know that you are aware of. Watch who is buddy buddy with your rival and always do good by them and anyone else to be beyond the scope of their trap. The links outside the containment and defamation campaign is crucial and if it can't be done at work, try to do it outside work and take a new job. However, it might very well be more doable at work than you think by pursuing unexpected links that YOUR RIVALS DO NOT KNOW OF like a request for an informational interview over lunch OFF SITE of an employee in a different division that isn't buddy buddy with your enemy or super or isn't likely to bring it up, or IS, depending on your desired effect.
    Tip: be real enough to be personable but do not reveal strategic vulnerabilities in any more detail than absolutely necessary even to workplace allies, let alone a known naysayer, super or rival who has in any way shown a propensity to cut you down, marginalize, misrepresent, stifle, exploit, conspicuously marginalize, avoid or otherwise do bad to you. You can draw them close if they are able to be drawn in, but leave the crown jewels (medical deets, divorce, problems with kids, past adversity at other workplaces, etc. locked in the vault) unless disclosure proves vitally necessary and even then don't give away more lurid detail than you must.
    HOWEVER, BEST TIP: even if you make mistakes, break all the rules of power, disclose waay too much, undermine yourself unfairly out of brow-beaten servility, beat a dead horse that the rival can use to pigeonhole, disregard or embarrass you with, leave yourself wide open for attack by failing to document good work, follow through, consent granted verbally but not in writing and later denied by enemy or super in a lie or "forgetfulness", etc... all those things may STILL be rectified and overcome simply by not repeating the same errors, playing the long game, being reliable, consistent, doing all key work your enemy is sniffing for, and anticipating the likely tricks and reactions to the enemy's future efforts and acting in advance to immunitize yourself from them with documentation, allies, a READY Resume, ongoing trainings if you have time.
    Unlike Machiavelli, the Art of War shows us that there is QUITE a lot at stake in losing and that foregoing potential, even deserved gain when reason, the careful record of indirect indicators, and field info. all show that defeat is highly likely, esp. in an asymmetric struggle, is sometimes well worth it. It's not "sit down and shut up while flames devour the palace" advice, but, rather, "avoid the fire in your bolt to greener pastures" advice. Even if your own blunders cost you the castle, don't lose the cottage also! Avoiding great harm or long term containment is better than gaining a modest and immediate victory like a pressure-extracted acknowledgment of your correctness or merit on a task or project you know you can prove was rated unfairly in a way that could force acknowledgment, all to forego a much needed later recommendation, or even noninterference with an advancement elsewhere, had you simply rolled with the uncomfortable punches.

    The Art of War is actually a mandatory subject taught at all US military academies. It's not only applicable to business but also in sports, politics, and even in online multiplayer games too.
    If you want wn example, here's one. During the Democrat primary election campaign of 2008, Obama targeted states with lower electoral college which were numerous while all his opponents were too busy taking a long time securing votes in states with large electoral votes. This is an example of Sun Tzu's teaching where he says _'Avoid what is strong. Attack what is weak...'_ .

It really really works. To the every alphabet. Sun Tzu was a master of masters.❤️

    "Appear weak when you are strong, strong when you are weak." Is something that seems to naturally apply to one's ego. I have a good inclination to check on my friends with there interpersonal relationship status and how that's effecting their mental wellbeing by noticing when they could be putting up a false "all is great" narrative to friends and family.
    Often, that is when all is not well

    i would like to add: using fire. if you apply flammable liquids to your enemy, even without fire, they will suffer psychological fears as well as chemical irritants. even a naked soldier soaked will still be at risk. the mere threat of open flame will decimate the confidence.

    I think George Washington must have read this book. He won the Revolutionary War yet won few major battles, and lost many. He would hit and run, had a fantastic spy network. Not bad for a bunch of farmers going against the mightiest army and navy of the day.

    I read “The Art of War: Accurately Conveyed Edition” on Kindle and it is the most appropriately translated version ever.
    For example, it translated one of the five elements for victory "天时" into “Whether”, which is appropriate, rather than “Heaven” in other editions.
    The author has another book about the application in modern times.

    In every edition of the art of war I've ever owned, the thirteenth chapter is titled "Espionage" and not "the use of spies". It's not a big deal, but I've been seeing this title being used in UA-cam summaries, whereas every hard copy I've owned it's titled Espionage.

    • @videonaj
      @videonaj 4 роки тому +1

      If you looked up the definition of "Espionage" you would find it matched The use of spies. Its easier for people to understand more than a word they never got defined. In modern times its important to translate english to english as the education system is failing us.

    I think Afghanistan is the best example of implementation of Arts of war. From recent history, 3 most well equipped enemies have been morally defeated.
    1. The British empire
    2. The Soviet Union armies
    3. Combined Armies of USA and Nato
    Modern warefare leaves an assigned route for the enemy to retreat. Battle of aleppo and most hardened battles in the middle east.
    Case study is Afghanistan
    US + Nato armies against the Taliban. The allied armies had the opportunity to accept the surrender of their foes. when they added humiliating conditions to it because they wanted absolute victory, it only forced and made their cornered foes fight to the death.
    Thus a cornered enemy who is retreating and you harass them consistently will no longer be fearful of death nor shame, leading to overwhelming losses on both sides and lost of appetite for war.

    key basic principles that we can learn from, already you are proving sun zsu correct, that no lesson learned can guarantee to be followed, for human choice is the ultimate problem in warfare, only historians can truly learn from common principles and mistakes of the past, for the choices made determines a specific outcome, not the rules of engagement

    I’ve been watching the war in Ukraine for the past two weeks. Even though the art of war is studied in the Russian military academy, they seem to forgotten all about it. Ukranians however have absorbed all the lessons, and are waiting guerrilla war against the larger, better equipped enemy. Not only are they destroying the enemy, they are taking them captive, treating them kindly, and also taking their equipment as well. They may eventually be defeated, but it looks less and less likely by the day. Similar lessons were learned that offense during World War II, when the Russians invaded. Also, Vietnam managed to elude an international superpower for at least 15 years. Finally, Syrian Kurds manage to defeat Isis, using the same lessons.
