“5. In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory.
6. Indirect tactics, efficiently applied, are inexhaustible as Heaven and Earth, unending as the flow of rivers and streams; like the sun and moon, they end but to begin anew; like the four seasons, they pass away to return once more.”
Sun Tzu, Master Sun
Art of War

Direct methods are substantial
But indirect methods are crucial
Only then is victory obtainable

Indirect methods are inexhaustible
Use your mind to unlock their potential
