While i was reading The Art Of War by SunTzu i have recovered these few "hints" that i have found useful... (feel free to show your favorite strategies)
Therefore,
there are five factors of knowing who will win:
One who knows when he can fight, and when he cannot fight, will be victorious;
one who knows how to use both large and small forces will be victorious;
one who knows how to unite upper and lower ranks in purpose will be victorious;
one who is prepared and waits for the unprepared will be victorious;
one whose general is able and is not interfered by the ruler will be victorious.
Therefore I say:
One who knows the enemy and knows himself
will not be in danger in a hundred battles.
One who does not know the enemy but knows himself
will sometimes win, sometimes lose.
One who does not know the enemy and does not know himself
will be in danger in every battle.
Their force is like a drawn crossbow
and their timing is like the release of the trigger.
Even in the midst of the turbulence of battle,
the fighting seemingly chaotic,
they are not confused.
Disorder came from order,
fear came from courage,
weakness came from strength.
One who exploits force commands men into battle like rolling logs and boulders.
Those who are able to adapt and change in accord with the enemy and achieve victory are called divine.
Standing your ground to wait for enemies who are far away, waiting for the weary in comfort, waiting for the hungry with full stomachs, is mastering strength.
So is the way of the warrior (i added this )
