The true test of a warrior is how your 'stance' holds up after any 'circumstance'. Meaning, even after the stormiest weather, a true warrior will still reflect the brilliant rays of the magnificent sun through both his or her eyes. You may get hit by sudden lightning or take severe beatings from the cruel wind, but you will always get back up and stand strong on your feet again, soak in the sunlight, and be prepared to get hit by even the most merciless hail - time and time again.

About This Quote

In the book, 'The Art of War', Sun Tzu said: “In war, deception is a potent weapon. Therefore, when confronted by an enemy, one must appear careless and let his enemy come close.” In this quote, he is talking about how an enemy will sometimes be fooled into thinking that you are weak and easily defeated. When the enemy comes closer to you, you can easily use deception to trick them into believing that they have already won. This way, they may then become careless and vulnerable.
