Simplified meaning
Good leaders and smart generals gather important information by using spies. This helps them make better decisions. For example, consider a football coach who studies the tactics of the opposing team. By doing so, the coach can plan the best way to win the game. Spying in this context means getting to know the enemy's strengths and weaknesses without them knowing. This strategy can lead to success without unnecessary risks. So, in everyday life, being well-informed and understanding the full picture before making a move can lead to better outcomes.
