Manifesto: Know Thyself
Sun Tzu said:
"Know the enemy and know yourself: in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated. When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself, you are sure to be defeated in every battle."
The OODA Loop teaches us to Observe, Orient, Decide and Act. What is self-improvement then but an application of the OODA Loop to the self? We observe our self to see what needs improvement and then we act to improve. Observe, Act. Observe, Act. Our actions result in improvements to our observational abilities, orientation, decision-making capabilities and even to our power to act.
But as Sun Tzu said, it is not enough to know the self; one must also study the "other". We must study everyone and everything. This blog is a place to prepare for a hundred battles.
