Read for the 7th time. Sun Tzu's Art of War is one of those world's finest classic literatures that marks and influences those who will challenge themselves to read this military treatise. It discusses tactics and strategies in military affairs, that are implicitly related and indirectly applied to the fields of business affairs, human psychology, management, ancient history, military sciences, politics, anatomy of organizations in conflicts, and the likes. Classics remain classics not because they were written in the ancient times; they were called classics because they continue to have meanings - different meanings when read in different circumstances and moods. They become more useful as we use them, therefore we grow wiser with them. Understanding Sun Tzu's treatise is understanding ancient methods of resolving conflicts, handling battles, and hailing to the great spiritual tradition of Taoism.
