Strategy III

An Inferior strategy always fails in the face of a superior strategy

Beware of sudden chumminess, someone you were not close to but know and who knows you, suddenly comes around you, often trying to share confidence and be close friends, trust your instincts. Sudden friendships are usually an indication of espionage

People are usually good at hiding their hostility, but hatred is not that easily masked. If you pay attention, you will see the signs that there is a dagger behind that smile, and it is gunning for you

Beware of those who would play victim and spread malicious lies or half-truths about you to those they know hold you in high esteem in order to turn them against you. It is a form of warfare, and the only way to win is to completely cut them off like cancer.

In today's world, people rarely ever attack you to your face. They do so indirectly. A status post, a tweet, a post on X, a whisper here and a DM there.

They desire to destroy you, but they don't want you to know they are the ones behind your destruction.

Always know this and learn how to combat it

Getting along with other people is an important skill to have, but it comes with danger; by always seeking the path of least resistance and conciliation, you forget who you are, and you end up trying to please everybody or trying not to step on anybody's toes or making enemies instead of friends

No one should ever have to hurt alone but sharing your hurt with people is the first step towards vulnerability and possible betrayal

He that is not with me is against me is a philosophy that has guided many away from untold danger in a time when they don't know who to trust

When you don't know who you want to be, find out who you don't want to be and move in the opposite direction

When you cannot tell the difference between friend or foe, trust no one but yourself

Your greatest obstacle is yourself

A battle you can win in secret should not be given the privilege of being fought in the open

In business as in war, many battles are won long before the battle begins, for all to see

When your enemy won't play fair, it is bad strategy to play fair in return

Negotiating with a bad hand always leads to great losses

The Niger Delta Militants from a part of Nigeria, had a strategy that led to kidnappings and the terrorism of foreigners.

They had a strategy, and it eventually led to them getting amnesty and some sweet financial deals from the government.

The guys from the north saw this, and they began this terrorism of their own

They wanted the same sweet deal the Niger Delta militants got, but they had no oil rigs to terrorize, and they had no foreigners to kidnap

Their strategy is giving them a bad name, but they have a weak hand, and soon it will all blow up in their faces.

An Inferior strategy always fails in the face of a superior strategy
