The film and television drama "Hurricane" has aroused people's interest in ".The Art of Warand thus set off a reading boom in this ancient book on the art of war. The villain in the play, Gao Qiqiang, is often quotedThe Art of Warhas changed himself from an ordinary fishmonger to a big man. This makes many people start to think, after reading ".The Art of WarWhat can I learn?I also recommended this book to meBook cluband classmates in offline classes, but found that there are many people who misunderstand it, thinking that it is just a book to teach people to fight, and has nothing to do with their lives. However, in fact, ".The Art of WarThe strategy taught withDecision-makingThe principle is inBusinessThe same applies to interpersonal relationships. In this book, we can learn a lot about strategy,Decision-makingand the wisdom of competition to help us gain an edge in the mall.
In ".The Art of WarIn it, Sun Wu discusses five things and seven strategies. Among them, the five things include "the way, the heavens, the earth, the generals, and the law", and the seven plans are "the master has the way, the general has the ability, the heaven and the earth have it, the law is enforced, the soldiers are strong, the soldiers are trained, and the rewards and punishments are clear". These principles are profoundly analyzed from a strategic point of viewBusiness competitionand points us in the direction of action. Echoing the SWOT model in modern management, we need to understand our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Only by clearly understanding and understanding these factors can we develop more accurate strategies to focus resources and actions on our areas of strength.
The views in the Seven Strategies are in line with the concepts in modern management, including "those who are good at fighting seek it", "those who are good at fighting are treacherous", "those who are good at fighting are fast", "those who are good at fighting are first" and so on.

I especially like ".The Art of Warabout defeating the strong with the weak. Do the strong get stronger?It's a way of thinking where the strong beats the strong. On the contrary, I prefer to use weakness to overcome strength, which is also Lao TzuPhilosophyin the mind. How to win from a bad hand?This is an issue that requires continuous reflection and reflection.
There are people who have no resources, are mediocre in appearance, or even have no special skills, but they are able to play a bad hand well. This process is actually a process of constantly surpassing oneself. If you have ever heard the phrase "a soldier who surrenders without a fight", then you will understand that this is ".The Art of WarThe true meaning of the book. Our lives don't necessarily need to be won by fighting. For example, couples often quarrel and even fight to achieve victory, is this really considered a real victory?Not really. It also exists in relationshipsPhilosophyWe need to learn to deal with relationships. You don't need to clash fiercely with the other side to achieve victory. We need to learn to solve problems in a weak way, and to achieve harmony through communication, compromise, and tolerance.
The Art of Waremphasizes not to constantly challenge your own limits in order to overcome others. This idea of overcoming the ego is also applicable in modern society. We often compare our abilities and strengths to others and then feel inferior and anxious. However, if we can focus on our own growth and progress, constantly improve our abilities, and overcome our limitations, then we will be able to overcome ourselves and overcome our inner fears and insecurity. It is only by overcoming ourselves that we can truly overcome others.
The Art of WarThe idea of "great wisdom is like foolishness" is mentioned. This means that at a strategic level, we need to think with peace and open-mindedness. Sometimes, we may need to deliberately play dumb and let the opponent's defence loose in order to create chances. This is also inBusiness competitionis a strategy that is often used. Confuse your opponent with a low-key, humble performance, and then make the right move to win.

Partners, merchants, customers, etc. can all serve as our strategic partners to jointly defend against the attacks of competitors. By leveraging a variety of resources and strengths, we can form a strong alliance against our competitors together.
In short, ".The Art of Waris a book that deserves our careful study and consideration. It is not just a book that teaches us how to fight, but also a book of wisdom that teaches us how to succeed in life. By understanding and applying the principles and ideas contained therein, we can work in:Business competitionGain an advantage, defeat yourself, defeat your opponents, and realize your own value.
