Sun Tzu's Art of War

1

Sun Tzu said: Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted. 

2

Therefore the clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him.

3

By holding out advantages to him, he can cause the enemy to approach of his own accord; or, by inflicting damage, he can make it impossible for the enemy to draw near.

In the first case, he will entice him with a bait; in the second, he will strike at some important point which the enemy will have to defend.

4

If the enemy is taking his ease, he can harass him;

if well supplied with food, he can starve him out; if quietly encamped, he can force him to move.

5

Appear at points which the enemy must hasten to defend; march swiftly to places where you are not expected. 

6

An army may march great distances without distress, if it marches through country where the enemy is not.

7

You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended.

    In a nutshell....

    Know thy self and you will win a hundred battles..... Know thy enemy and you will win. Perfect analogy for poker. That Sun Tzu was a mean HU player apparently....
