How do you become a better version of yourself? Read books? Study? Can a person really remember what they learned 2 years ago? What does it mean to think outside of the box?
Zhuge Liang once said "You can read and study all the military texts and stratagems, but you will never win a battle or a war if you don't feel the yin and yang. The sage looks at subtle phenomena and listens to small voices. This harmonizes the outside with the inside
and the inside with the outside.
(from the Records of the Loyal Lord of Warriors)"
Zhuge Liang (the Sleeping Dragon), gazed at the stars and played music as he thought of plans.
Pang Tong (the Fledgling Phoenix), believed to have drank wine and took naps for hours as he thought of plans.
So how do their tactics apply to our modern world? Modern philosophers love to say that a majority of people have become stupid and domesticated. They are right.
The typical thought process of some are A+B= AB. Or "you need to do this to get from point A to point B.
Day-dreaming, Napping...or lets put it this way, "Imagination", opens the whole color spectrum and makes you view the whole world in a different way, compared to how you view it now, black, grey, and white. Imagination allows your plan to be seen as an omniscient being. It also allows you to predict an infinite amount of outcomes. In the dating world, the typical modern thinking is why men fail, they only think of their actions whilst they fail to see how the woman will think and act. They fail to put their shoes in her place, and fail to understand why their plan did not work.
Part 2: Feeling and Listening to the world. This is probably the most complex and is equally important. A next level information gathering that will broaden your view of when to act, how to act, and simulate the same situation or plan in different scenarios.
People say they hate *ssholes, but the type of *sshole they hate the most, is a cunning person or an opportunist. An opportunist is very patient, and is always lurking in the shadow. They are forever waiting, gathering information and is pre-meditating a plan.
Examples in the dating world: When another girl steals your boyfriend or husband. It doesn't happen in a finger snap, but over time. The opportunist woman will listen to the distress of the man, she will feel his emotions and needs, and wait for the right time to act on it. Heaven does not favor a broken relationship, but it does favor the new flames of love that is burning bright.
Examples in blackmails. Listening, if the blackmail states personal information about you or not. If the blackmail is dead on accurate, chances are its one of your friends or family members. Feeling, "to find out who the suspect is, one needs to think which out of the group of people you suspect, will benefit the most".
