Strategy is the art of anticipation
Everything is decided before the battle
The good general wins the battle before it is fought.
Sun Tzu
(Chinese general [544 – 496 BC], author of the oldest known military strategy book: The Art of War)
The ship without a compass!
He who has no goals is unlikely to achieve them.
Sun Tzu
Anticipate
Three-quarters of men only take care of necessary things when they feel the need, but by then it is too late.
Napoleon
When the urgent drives out the important
When it is urgent, it is already too late
Talleyrand
