"敗北を免れるためには、自分自身の手にかかっていますが、敵を打ち負かす機会は敵自身によって提供されます。"
— Sun Tzu
Simplified Meaning:
We can keep ourselves from losing by preparing well and controlling our own actions. However, winning depends on the mistakes or weaknesses of the other side. Think of a soccer game: a team can practice hard to play their best, making sure they are strong and ready. But sometimes they win because the other team makes a mistake, like missing a goal or losing focus. In life, this means we should focus on doing our best and being ready for challenges, but also keep an eye out for chances that come from others' errors. If we want to succeed, we need to be prepared and alert to take advantage of opportunities when they arise.
