Chapter 103 Strategy Part 3
The Highest State of Success: Change by Change
All fighters win by right combination and by surprise.Therefore, those who are good at making surprises are as infinite as heaven and earth, and as inexhaustible as rivers and seas.From the end to the beginning, the sun and the moon are also.Death and rebirth, the four seasons are also... The situation of the battle is nothing but odd righteousness, odd righteousness changes, invincible and poor.

Sun Tzu believes that there are only two methods of combat, "odd" and "positive", but the changes of "odd" and "positive" will never be exhausted. "Qi" and "Zheng" are interdependent and transformed into each other, just like circling along a circle, without beginning or end.

In war, there is no one-size-fits-all style of play, and no cookie-cutter tactics.Leading troops in battle requires adapting to the situation and winning by surprise in order to defeat the opponent.In this regard, Sun Wu proposed the tactics of Qizheng, "Change of Qizheng cannot overcome poverty."When he leads troops to attack powerful countries, he usually starts some small riots on the border first, but enough is enough.He assaulted from left to right, and never loved to fight. He just changed his route from time to time, until finally when the enemy couldn't figure it out and became paralyzed, he launched a surprise attack and took down the target.This is the case with the famous battle of Wu Chuboju.

Just like everyone in a battle hopes to win, everyone in reality expects to succeed at the fastest speed. However, in the ever-changing and fierce competition, every step forward will encounter difficulties, and few people can develop in a straight line.Therefore, developing with change is the winning formula for most successful people.

In a training class with a high tuition fee, the elites in the business world are sitting in danger, waiting to listen to the management professor's report on business operations.The door opened, and the professor walked in, with a short and fat figure, a round face, a large bag in his left hand, and a bulging balloon in his right hand.The elites were very strange, but some people immediately took out their pens and notebooks, ready to write down the professor's incisive analysis and frank advice.

"Oh, no, no, you don't have to memorize it, just look at it with your eyes. My report is very simple." The professor said, then took out a bottle with a small opening from his bag and put it on the table, and pointed to the balloon. Say to everyone: "Who can tell me how to put this balloon into a bottle? Of course, you can't do this, bang!" The professor made a funny pose of balloon explosion.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the professor's gourd. Finally, a shrewd lady said, "I think maybe you can change its shape." "Change its shape? Well, very good, you can demonstrate it for us." for a while?"

"Of course." The lady walked to the stage, picked up the balloon and carefully manipulated it.She wanted to take advantage of the softness and plasticity of rubber to stuff the balloons into the bottle bit by bit.But it was far from as simple as she thought, and soon she found that her efforts were futile, so she put down the balloon in her hand and said, "Unfortunately, I admit that my idea will not work."

"Anyone else want to try?" No one responded.

"Okay then, let me try it." The professor said.He picked up the balloon, and untied the rope on the mouth of the balloon with two clicks. With a "chick", the balloon turned into a soft bag.

The professor stuffed the small bag into the bottle, leaving only the blowing port outside, then held it in his mouth and blew hard.Soon, the balloon bulged and filled the bottle, and the professor tied the mouth of the balloon tightly with a rope. "Look, I changed the method, and the problem was solved." The professor smiled with satisfaction.

The professor turned around, picked up a pen and wrote a big "change" on the clipboard, saying: "When you encounter a problem and it is difficult to solve it, then you can change your method." He pointed Your own head, "A change of mind, now you know how important it is. That's what I'm going to say today."

Philosophically speaking, the only constant is change itself.On the turbulent battlefield, change is the process and the end, throughout, even when victory is within easy reach, it is still full of endless variables.Life in the real world is changing rapidly, so we must learn to adapt to changes.In today's increasingly competitive environment, it is necessary to cultivate the concept of adapting to changes.A thoughtful and enlightened person should have the courage to face the difficulties brought about by changes, so as to achieve excellence and efficiency.

Adjust our countermeasures according to the actual situation and learn to deal with difficulties in work flexibly. Only in this way can we control the changes while adapting to the changes of things.On the contrary, if we take things for granted and act according to our own ideas, it will be in vain like fishing without knowing the habits of fish.

Therefore, when doing everything and solving all problems, we must constantly adjust ourselves as the objective situation changes, and constantly adopt corresponding countermeasures.Whether it is on the battlefield or at work, you must change with the changing situation, because the world is constantly changing, and only by adapting to the changes can you survive. "Survival of the fittest" is the unchanging law of nature, and this "fitness" is to change with change.
