I’ve always
loved chess and strategy games. It’s a different kind of puzzle, one that pits
my mind against a specific set of challenges, challenges that cannot be solved
blind repetition and dogged determination. I must think to overcome.
I suppose
that’s why I’ve always loved Sun Tzu’s Art
of War. The perspectives and philosophies in the book speak to me, and are
applicable to so much beyond simple battlefield conflict. There is merit in
applying what he teaches to every aspect of life, and to take a look at life
from a different angle, to see the pieces on the board in a new way.
In this way
I can discover new moves.
