Today’s Sun Tzu
“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.”
多算胜，少算不胜
Prepare and calculate before you commit.
What it means
Victory is decided in planning, not in the moment of contact. The person who thinks through scenarios, resources, and risks in advance wins; the person who improvises under pressure loses. Calculation is the quiet work that precedes confident action.
