When I suggested this book, I was not kidding around. This book can teach
anyone about warfare, and it can be applied in another area besides war. For
example, in business, I believe this book is a required reading for business
students in some universities. So this book can teach a lot about winning and
what it takes to win. It does not teach chess, but it teaches a lot about how
to win at warfare. Here's a summary of some of the teaching of Sun Tzu: WEAKNESS
AND STRENGTH
Strategic Rules: (1) Take the Initiative
(2) Plan Surprise
(3) Gain Relative Superiority
(4) Seek Knowledge
(5) Be Flexible
I highly recommend reading this book, if anything, one will learn about becoming
a winner in life.

Laurence
