The fifth chapter of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" is called "Energy". In this chapter, it is stated that victory in war is sought in momentum, and there is no blame for human incompetence (failure). Also, once the soldiers who are right for the right place are selected, it is easier to win if you just leave it to momentum.
1. Those who are skilled in leading the enemy will always follow this invitation when they take a certain form of action. If you give the enemy something to bait, the enemy will definitely try to get it. It is a strategy of giving benefits to move the enemy as you wish and deceiving the enemy to wait.
2. Those who are superior in battle seek victory in war in momentum, and there is no blame for human incompetence (failure). Therefore, after selecting the personnel of the soldiers who are right for the right place, just leave it to momentum. The momentum of the commander who is making the soldiers fight is like rolling wood and stones vigorously. The nature of wood and stone is that if the ground is stable, it moves slowly, if it is unstable, it moves, if the shape of wood and stone is square, it stops, if it is round, it rolls. Therefore, if the momentum of those who are making the soldiers fight well is like a round stone falling from a thousand fathoms of mountain, it is called the momentum of war.
These teachings can be applied not only to war, but also to business, sports, and various competitive situations. By using momentum, you can secure superiority in competition and achieve success. Sun Tzu's Art of War is still referred to by many people today because of its universal teachings.
