"Attack is the secret of defense; defense is the planning of an attack."
Simplified meaning
When trying to protect yourself or your position, the best way is often to go on the offense. Think about a sport like football. A strong attacking team keeps their opponents busy defending, so they don’t have time to try and score themselves. Similarly, if you are always just defending and never planning to attack, you might not succeed. In life, if you only prepare to defend against problems, you might stay stuck. But if you also think about how to make progress and take action, you’re more likely to move forward and improve your situation. For example, in business, successful companies not only protect their current assets but also go out and find new opportunities to grow. By balancing both attack and defense, you can better handle challenges and create chances for success.
