About This Quote
In ancient China, a famous military strategist once wrote a book called “Art of War.” One passage in the book discusses the importance of strategy. It notes that a person who knows how to fight and win can also know how to use those skills to achieve victory. The lesson is that it’s easy to know how to do something, but much harder to know how to put those skills into practice.
