He was considered the author of the Art of War. Sun-Tzu’s historical accuracy is debated with historians and some don’t even believe he existed. ]]> 2022-10-31 20:50:27 UTC https://padlet.com/eliot800/ypb770turagcksti/wish/2363945993 eliot800 https://padlet.com/eliot800/ypb770turagcksti/wish/2363957872 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.

There are also scholars who say that there are inaccuracies in The Art of War. The time period of battles written vs actually happening causes issues. The last issue with Sun-Tzu is if he was such a great general, why wasn’t there more written about him? ]]> 2022-10-31 21:09:10 UTC https://padlet.com/eliot800/ypb770turagcksti/wish/2363959714 eliot800 https://padlet.com/eliot800/ypb770turagcksti/wish/2365489683 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. ]]> 2022-11-01 19:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/eliot800/ypb770turagcksti/wish/2365489683 eliot800 https://padlet.com/eliot800/ypb770turagcksti/wish/2365504906 “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself, but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”]]> 2022-11-01 19:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/eliot800/ypb770turagcksti/wish/2365504906 eliot800 https://padlet.com/eliot800/ypb770turagcksti/wish/2365533718 The Art of War by Sun Tzu is not quite a book but a written set of tenants for someone to follow. This is based on Sun Tzu's experiences as a leader in battle. This book was issued to most soldiers in the Chinese armies. ]]> 2022-11-01 19:50:09 UTC https://padlet.com/eliot800/ypb770turagcksti/wish/2365533718 eliot800 https://padlet.com/eliot800/ypb770turagcksti/wish/2365572505 Do you understand yourself? If so, what is 1 strength and 1 weakness? How would you use those to help further your goals?]]> 2022-11-01 20:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/eliot800/ypb770turagcksti/wish/2365572505
