Sun Tzu on Water


Part of Sun Tzu's philosophy was adapting to situations like water, and you can find a way to win. Something that Bruce Lee adapted into his philosophy:

 "Manage your military formations like water. Water takes every shape. It avoids the high and moves to the low. War can take any shape. It must avoid the strong and strike the weak. Water takes the shape of the land that directs it's flow. Should your forces follow the enemy, who determines how you win? Make war without a standard approach. Water has no constant shape. If you follow the enemy's shifts and changes, you can always find a way to win. This is known as shadowing."
