Sun Tzu Wrote

Sun Tzu wrote, “We may know that there are five essentials for victory.”

Victory isn’t random. It’s not about luck, talent, or waiting for the perfect moment. Winning—whether in battle, in business, or in life—comes down to following a set of principles. Sun Tzu laid them out thousands of years ago, and they still hold true today. If you want to win, you must master these five essentials.

Sun Tzu wrote, “When the army is restless and distrustful, trouble is sure to come from the other feudal princes.”

Read that again. Because this isn’t just about war—it’s about life, leadership, and the battles you fight every single day.

When your mind is restless and filled with doubt, when you don’t trust your own decisions, when you let uncertainty creep in—that’s when everything around you starts to fall apart. Opportunities slip away. People sense your weakness. Enemies—whether external or internal—see their chance to strike.

Sun Tzu wrote, “There are three ways in which a ruler can bring misfortune upon his army.”

And while he was talking about military strategy, this applies to you just as much. Because whether you realize it or not, you are the ruler of your life. Your mind, your habits, your decisions—they are your army. And if you lead them poorly, you bring misfortune upon yourself.

So what are these three ways? How do leaders—and people—sabotage themselves? Let’s break it down

Sun Tzu wrote, “If the bulwark is complete at all points, the state will be strong.”

In other words, strength isn’t built in a single moment. It isn’t about one victory, one great effort, or one burst of motivation. True strength—lasting strength—comes from securing every aspect of your foundation. It comes from being unshakable because you’ve left no weak points for the enemy to exploit.

Sun Tzu wrote, “An obstinate fight may be made by a small force.”

Let that sink in. He didn’t say a small force will always win. He didn’t say the odds are in your favor. He said may be made. In other words, when you're outnumbered, outsized, outmatched—you still have a choice. You can fold, or you can fight like hell.

Sun Tzu wrote, “If slightly inferior in numbers, we can avoid the enemy.”

At first glance, this might sound like retreat. Like backing down. But that’s not what Sun Tzu was saying. He was talking about strategy. About knowing when to engage and when to wait. About choosing your battles wisely.

Sun Tzu wrote, “If our forces are ten to the enemy’s one, to surround him.”

Now, you might be thinking, That’s great for ancient warfare, but what does it have to do with me? Well, everything. Because life is a battlefield, and every day, you go to war. Not with swords and shields, but with doubt, fear, procrastination, and every obstacle standing between you and your goals. And if you want to win, you have to surround your enemy—your problems, your challenges, your excuses—and leave them no way out.

Sun Tzu Wrote, “The skillful leader subdues the enemy’s troops without any fighting.”

The greatest warriors don’t just win battles—they win without fighting.

The world tells you that victory comes through struggle, through brute force, through grinding yourself down until you break the enemy. But Sun Tzu knew better. He knew that the highest form of victory isn’t about clashing swords—it’s about making sure the swords are never drawn in the first place.

Sun Tzu Wrote, “The general, unable to control his irritation, will launch his men to the assault like swarming ants.”

Emotion is a weapon—but only if you control it. The moment you let it control you, it becomes a liability.

Sun Tzu understood this. He knew that an angry leader is a reckless one. A general who loses his temper, who lashes out, who acts on impulse rather than intelligence, is a general who leads his army straight into disaster. He sends his soldiers swarming like ants—uncoordinated, chaotic, and doomed to be crushed.

And yet, how often do we see this happen in everyday life?

Sun Tzu Wrote, “The worst policy of all is to besiege walled cities.”

Some battles aren’t worth fighting. Some obstacles aren’t meant to be broken down with brute force. And some victories, if they come at too great a cost, aren’t victories at all.

Sun Tzu understood this over 2,000 years ago, yet people still ignore this truth today. They bang their heads against walls, attacking problems the wrong way, exhausting themselves in battles they were never meant to fight. They believe if they just push harder, stay longer, or throw more effort at something, they will eventually break through.
