Art movements in war

Introduction

The art of war is a book with 13 chapters, in each one describes strategies of how to obtain an intelligent victory. The art of war is something that you can apply to the daily conflicts, obstacles and objectives of your life. This is why ‘the art of war’ is a great reading and highly recommended

This is how competition works in the real world and how people make good and effective decisions in their daily lives is a book that when reading it, nothing will be learned about weapons or troop formations, but from the only weaponreal in competition that we all have, the human mind.

Developing

One of his surprising central messages is that success requires winning without conflict, it is about overcoming opponents to submit without resorting to "violence". In addition, it teaches how to build competitive positions that others would prefer to join instead of opposing. Competition is a comparison of alternatives, winning that comparison is to build your own position. Instead of demolishing the positions of others. You cannot knock down the positions of others without weakening your own position.

Some of the lessons left by the reading of art war are: When one intends to attack a goal, he must be willing to pay the price that requires, therefore, we must plan and carry out all activities that implies the completion of the objectives,without excuses. By planning the way in which our objective will be developed, we will obtain control of the problems that can be coming, and find the solution before they happen.

In addition, it should be taken into account that to acquire experience on the battlefield we must practice, the same happens for any field where we want to be experts.

The book referred to gigantic armies under the command of a single person, for which Sun Tzu proposed to divide the armies into several groups and treat each group as if it were one;We can apply this in our great goal. Essentially, divide a great task into many smaller ones to make them more manageable, which can be applied to address any objective that may seem a bit overwhelming at the beginning.

We must be flexible with the planned methods to fulfill a goal, in the art of war, as in life, it is necessary to adapt to the circumstances that prevent things from doing as they have planned. Sun Tzu describes many times how they should be prepared to change plan due to unforeseen circumstances that deviate us from our goal. We must adapt to the new reality and deal with it.

Sun Tzu teaches us that we must expect the best, but prepare for the worst. In the art of war it is noted that, when entering battle, there were innumerable variables and tactics to consider. A general, just preparing and anticipating the movements of his enemy could succeed. Therefore, it was critical that he considered the worst case with possible solutions at all times.

conclusion

When we work on a project or do anything else that is important for us, sometimes we have to use the same type of detail dedication. There are often a dozen things that can go wrong with any plan, so anticipating this in advance and finding possible solutions to prevent or minimize the damage can be very useful.

However, I consider that this does not mean that we should always be looking for what could go wrong in life. Clearly, that kind of mentality would not only hinder success, but also all happiness in life. Therefore, it is essential for happiness in life that always maintains a positive mental attitude and expect things to go well, while preparing for problems.
