Wage guerilla war on your mind, allowing no static lines of defense, no exposed citadels — make everything fluid and mobile.

According to Machiavelli, human beings naturally tend to think in terms of patterns. They like to see events conforming to their expectations by fitting into a pattern or scheme.

Understand: presence of mind is the ability to detach yourself, to see the whole battlefield, the whole picture, with clarity.

War and strategy have an inexorable logic: if you want anything, you must be ready and able to fight for it.

Many people will pretend to share your beliefs, but your first battle will show that all they wanted was a job.

---/DARK WISDOM THREAD 🧵/---

This is the game you must play: Do whatever you can to preserve unity of command. Keep the strings to be pulled in your hands; the over-arching strategic vision must come from you and you alone.

This could be your last throw of the dice: make it count.

Events in life mean nothing if you do not reflect on them in a deep way, and ideas from books are pointless if they have no application to life as you live it.

Make the mind tougher by exposing it adversity.

Never take it for granted that your past successes will continue into the future. Actually, your past successes are your biggest obstacle: every battle, every war, is different, and you cannot assume that what worked before will work today.

Expose yourself to conflict.
