The work written by Sun Tzu is a philosophical commentary on how to be a good general. This is helpful to us in our time because we can take it as understanding how to be a leader. Understanding yourself and your competition can help inspire and create inspiration within yourself. I believe this is essential reading for anyone on how to understand themselves. Having full confidence and knowing your strengths and weaknesses can be useful in any situation.

The influential work Sun-Tzu had written was The Art of War. The Art of War is about knowing when to fight and when not to fight. This includes knowing the enemy and oneself to win the battle. Always being prepared is another key to victory. This book is useful to us today because we may not have warfare but we do have smaller battles within yourself and around us.
