Changed
Wow... its Google Chrome or Blogger has just changed
I kinda like it but still kinda prefer what i was used to since i was 13...
hmmm i guess change is good
(Changed for good by Wicked playing in the background)
well, things had been different lately
its my second last semester
and time flies so fast...
i aint that girl who watch animes all day sleep at 5am wakes at noon anymore
i think i kinda... *gasps* grown up?
cooking, doing laundry making bed instead of being served on hands and foot
i guess throwing kids overseas do help us to grow alot faster
as the saying goes "send your spoilt kid overseas to be repaired"
i used to be able to know what i am gonna do after i study
but now its seems that my vision has gone all blurry
the goals that i had set (to get my portfolio, website, resume done up) is still not done
while scoring my distinction in class and watching Tv shows in my free time
its kinda a thing when you wake up everyday having an anticipation for nothing is...
kinda scary
i need a plan... a fix goal... a deadline...
i dont wanna be like the kids in the LA Complex
who seems to be stuck in limbo and spiralling downwards...
i had been there done that... when school's over i just know i wanna start working
but yet theres a part of me just wanna
travel the world/ or just europe and japan for 2 months! backpack! climb a mountain!
camp at some rural area that no one knew and had no Tv in each house...
but reality just sets in, no money no honey...
i need a job... an internship... a plan...
without vision My people perish...indeed
you plan to fail when you fail to plan... what an important saying till now...
its like when Hooper in Battleship who get what 孙子兵法; is talking about but not really.... loll!
with that i shall leave you with this
I. Laying Plans
1. Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the State.
2. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.
3. The art of war, then, is governed by five constant factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations, when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.
4. These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth; (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.
5,6. The Moral Law causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler, so that they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger.
7. Heaven signifies night and day, cold and heat, times and seasons.
8. Earth comprises distances, great and small; danger and security; open ground and narrow passes; the chances of life and death.
9. The Commander stands for the virtues of wisdom, sincerely, benevolence, courage and strictness.
10. By method and discipline are to be understood the marshaling of the army in its proper subdivisions, the graduations of rank among the officers, the maintenance of roads by which supplies may reach the army, and the control of military expenditure.
11. These five heads should be familiar to every general: he who knows them will be victorious; he who knows them not will fail.
12. Therefore, in your deliberations, when seeking to determine the military conditions, let them be made the basis of a comparison, in this wise: —
13. (1) Which of the two sovereigns is imbued with the Moral law? (2) Which of the two generals has most ability? (3) With whom lie the advantages derived from Heaven and Earth? (4) On which side is discipline most rigorously enforced? (5) Which army is stronger? (6) On which side are officers and men more highly trained? (7) In which army is there the greater constancy both in reward and punishment?
14. By means of these seven considerations I can forecast victory or defeat.
15. The general that hearkens to my counsel and acts upon it, will conquer: let such a one be retained in command! The general that hearkens not to my counsel nor acts upon it, will suffer defeat: — let such a one be dismissed!
16. While heading the profit of my counsel, avail yourself also of any helpful circumstances over and beyond the ordinary rules.
17. According as circumstances are favorable, one should modify one's plans.
18. All warfare is based on deception.
19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
20. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.
21. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him.
22. If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
23. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them.
24. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.
25. These military devices, leading to victory, must not be divulged beforehand.
26. Now the general who wins a battle makes many calculations in his temple ere the battle is fought. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. Thus do many calculations lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat: how much more no calculation at all! It is by attention to this point that I can foresee who is likely to win or lose.
