Philosophical DiscussionDo you have a philosophical view to martial arts styles, training, etc. ?
It's called "The Art of War". The tips were not used in everyday life in Sun Tsu's time, they were meant to be useful strategies to win a war, which could also be used in today's world of wars.

Sure.....but some attempt to reference it to other things in life.

Hey, my post count has the same palaverment tone as anyone elses'
I don't know which chapter it discusses it and the exact words but long time ago, I remember reading something about "knowing the strength of your enemy and knowing the strength of your own army before engaging the war" and I've applied that knowledge in my business practice.
Sometimes, we want to be aggressive and think that we can "take on" more business than we can handle, but by knowing your own strength, you know even before you start the "war" or "engage in business", whether you can handle all the business or not.
Simple example would be, if I had a small shop that service 100 customers per day, but if I hired a sales guy that finds me an account that requires 5000 to be serviced a day, obviously, I would not be able to deliver what's promised and business would be ruined. Now, if I didn't know what my capabilities are, how would I know how much business I should try to win?
See-this is exactly what I am talking about...it can have some references, but people tend to take much more out of it and mis-represent it. (Not speaking of your recent post on it complete)

So whats your problem? If you find a way to use it in your life, good for you. It doesn't mean you have to. There, Complete said a way you can use it in today's life.

The problem...there is no problem. I am saying though many find a reference, others mis-represent. Thus they do not know clearly upon the works.

After eading all of this,i am curious.I was watching a show on
on hystory on Maximum security prisoners that say they study the art of SunTsu,but then they think its o.k. to kill someone.
did Sun Tzu think that killing for the sake of killing to be abmirable?And is it no better to let someone question your honour,instead of killing the other,confirming your aunadmirabilty.
