“If your enemy is superior, evade
him. If angry, irritate him. If equally matched, fight, and if not
retreat and reevaluate.” – – Sun-tzu, the Art of war
Life comes down to having and using the
right strategy at the right time.
But to know what the right strategy is,
you have to have an accurate view of reality.
Our view gives us a philosophy; a set
of beliefs.
But not a religious or spiritual
philosophy; rather, a set of beliefs regarding about how the world
works and how we should interact with it.
A philosophy about how the world works
is founding principles of any strategy.
Most people don't study their
philosophies, (they take for granted the validity of their own
beliefs) because they don't see any connections because their beliefs
and their actions and the consequences of those actions. Mostly, they
are too busy entertaining themselves or putting the blame on someone
else.
Being Philosophical leads to a better
strategy...because a philosophy (a set of beliefs) is what we use to
make strategies. When our philosophies are not in line with reality,
our strategies suck. Planned Actions are decided by a person who
thinks about his or her strategy. Random Actions are not decided,
have no strategy, purpose, or direction, but they do have
consequences.
The reason we as humans plan our
actions is because we want to tilt the odds of success in our favor.
Therefore, we have to think about our
actions and put them into sequential order, based on a set of logic
or reasoning that we believe is going to be successful. Our
beliefs (philosophy) dictate what our reasoning or logic will be.
When we are finished we will have an expectation.
So, we have to answer the basic
questions about our Philosophy, which will lead to...
–--> Strategy ---> Methods --->
Actions ---> Results & Consequences.
