Therefor if the enemy is rested be able to exhaust him: if he is well fed, be able to starve him: if he is settled, be able to move him. Go forth to positions to which he must rush to defend. Rush forward where he least expects it.
From “The Good Citizens Handbook” (page 93):
What You Owe the Community
Think in terms of the whole community not only of your own section of it. Desire good houses for all the citizens, good schools for all the children, and good places to play for all children and not just your own.
Wherever people act together in groups, their interest and pride in local affairs tends to increase. This interest and pride often brings about changes which benefit the whole community and make it a better place in which to live.
Funny, Karl, in my copy of Sun Tsu, the fifth line of page 56 reads:
“Therefore – in dispersed ground I will unify their will.”
I think what MJD wrote from the “Good Citizen’s Handbook”, should be printed in the newspaper for all residents to read.
Maybe it will make all of us “Good Citizens” once again.
“The Cornell Book of Cats”
Page 56 line 5:
The catnip plant (Nepeta cataria) elicits estrus-type behaviors, and there has been continued debate as to whether this represents a release of sexual behaviors or whether catnip is simply a nonspecific pleasure inducer.
I actually have short book that gives an overall critque of the full book. It doesn’t have 56 pages in it so for the fun of the blog I just opened it up and typed the first thing I saw haha.
Karl, What’s the book? I’d like to read it. I’ve been going through two versions of the Art of War that are slightly different in interpretation and I’d like reviewing the critique you have in reference to what I’ve been reading. I’d appreciate your help.
In the end, I prefer Lao Tzu’s, Tao Te Ching. I find it more applicable to everyday life.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your comments.
Team of Rivals, The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin
Abe Lincoln reflecting on a visit to his childhood home in Indiana some years later, he wrote a mournful poem.
I hear the loved survivors tell
How naught from death could save,
Till every sound appears a knell,
And every spot a grave.
intuitive or instinctive feeling, follow it, and you will find that the Universe is magnetically moving you to receive what you asked for.
From The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
She’s assertive but not combative.
The question of the day is: How do we know if we are doing any good? ,
Measurable goals and faith.
