Today’s Sun Tzu
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete.”
知天知地，胜乃不穷
Understand yourself, your opponent, and the environment.
What it means
Two levels of knowledge: knowing yourself and the other side removes doubt; knowing the environment — timing, conditions, context — completes the picture. The fullest strategy accounts for the whole situation, not just the two parties.
