Always try to lower the other side’s sense of urgency. Make your enemies think they have all the time in the world.

Direct the situation but leave room for unexpected opportunities and random events.

When no real challenge faces us, a mental and physical lethargy sets in.

Trust yourself more and others less.

Being a leader of even the smallest group gives you something to live up to: people are depending on you.

The only way to break out of a negative dynamic is to confront it. Repressing your anger, avoiding the person threatening you, always looking to conciliate—these common strategies spell ruin.

You are your own worst enemy. You waste precious time dreaming of the future instead of engaging in the present. Since nothing seems urgent to you, you are only half involved in what you do. The only way to change is through action and outside pressure.

When you look at your enemies, do not be intimidated by their appearance.

Declare war on your enemies.

Amidst the turmoil of events, do not lose your presence of mind.
