Victory is reserved for those
who are willing to pay its price.
Your achilles’ heel is your weak spot, your point of vulnerability, your Kryptonite. It’s the Buddha you must kill when you meet him on the road. It’s what awaits you in Room 101. You can be impervious and impeccable in all areas but this one little back-of-the-foot place (where momma held you when she dipped you in the River Styx to apply armor-coating), and when it gets pierced by an arrow, you find out that all your strength and shielding has been for naught; you are undone and your battle is lost. That, however, is not the failure it seems; that’s what winning looks like in this crazy-ass game.

Sun Tzu was an ancient Chinese military strategist, philosopher, and the author of The Art of War, a classic book on warfare and strategy. He lived around the 5th century BCE during the Eastern Zhou period. His teachings emphasize intelligence, deception, adaptability, and the importance of knowing both yourself and your enemy. While originally written for warfare, his strategies have been applied to business, politics, and everyday life.
