Comments
on Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, edited by
Dick Cooledge, Comptche Press, 1927.
Sun Tzu: “When
the enemy is well provisioned and secure, be prepared. When the enemy has
superior fire power and is strong, avoid him.”
Raven: “If you would steal someone else’s dinner, it’s best to do
it when they are sleeping.”
Poor Richard: “When you would launch a new product, the canny merchant
picks a market where her competitive advantage is strong and the competition is
weak. It may only be a small niche, but even a tiny niche where you can gain traction
is better than one where you will most likely fail.”
