When the people of Sudan, Jordan, especially Palestine are struggling in poverty, those princes are arrogant and extravagant, where they collect the wealth of the world, gold and silver jewelry, and even airplanes! At that time, Kuwait elementary school did not mention that the Saudi royal family had lost its reputation at home. At that time, before the United States sent troops, it was like a paper shell that collapsed when pushed. At that time, Saddam Hussein should actively support the opposition forces in Saudi Arabia, just like Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda and other forces, and first overthrow such a reactionary regime. Imagine if Saddam used the most powerful armored force in the Arab world to send troops to Saudi Arabia first. In the open desert, the US military had no time to reflect and adjust its forces, and eliminated human waste within 1 month, and conveniently cleaned up Yemen, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait. "The soldiers are very expensive." The U.S. military just wants to deploy troops and land, but at least it won't be as easy as in history. It will take months to deploy troops and set a noose. Moreover, at that time, Iraq had controlled more than 60% of oil production, and the United States would use the army. Won't you consider your own cost and affordability? The use of petroleum weapons, such as the "soldiers who defeat others without fighting" in the 1970 s, is also above them. Perhaps, the history of the Arab nation will be rewritten, but history cannot be assumed. "Forgetting history means being sentenced." It was a mistake for Saddam Hussein to move to Kuwait for the first time. After that, I was losing ground. At first, I was hesitant and timid. Later, Enemy at the Gates lost his teachers, and then gave up completely, which was simply a replica of Li De's fifth "encirclement and suppression"! Adventure in attack, fortress in defense, capitulationism in retreat. "Soldiers, state affairs, places of life and death, and ways of survival must be observed." Military defeat is not only accompanied by Saddam's own failure, but also the last Arab struggle in the last century. Now that Iraq has been controlled by the United States, Saudi Arabia and other governors on the peninsula have also allowed the US military to station and get their protection. I believe that within 50 years, there will be no possibility of reunification. I cry for Arabia! I saw Gaddafi's compromise the other day. This is a romantic hero. I remember he challenged the United States and Britain with a small country with a population of less than10 million. I still remember that in order to form a new and divided United Arab Republic with Egypt and Syria, he personally drove a tractor to tear down the border between Libya and Egypt. At that time, he was romantic and simple. Seeing his face crisscross now, smoking a cigar at the opening ceremony of the Arab League, there was no one there, and then he turned away. I think that at this time, he looked at the Arab heads of state around him and his heart was full of anger. No, it should be contempt, right? "No, no danger, no war. The Lord can't be angry, and he can't attack the war. Move for profit, not for profit. Anger can be revived, and anger can also be revived. It can be said that the country cannot be revived and the dead cannot be resurrected. So it is wise to be cautious, and a good general will warn him. This is the way to defend the country and the whole army. " Looking at his back, I sighed and gave up helplessly. Heroes are lonely and sunsets are strange.

Reflections on Sun Tzu's Art of War

Sun Tzu's Art of War is not only a classic military work, but also a brilliant philosophical work, which is a precious legacy of China's splendid ancient culture. Sun Tzu's book reveals a series of military laws of universal significance, which are not only respected by military scientists, but also inextricably linked in the economic field, leadership art, life pursuit and even family relations.

When I first read The Art of War, I just found it difficult to understand. Read Sun Tzu's Art of War again, and your head will think, it seems that there is such a thing. Now, I have won Sun Tzu's Art of War, and I want to write about my feelings and major.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and this metaphor is very appropriate. Sun Tzu's Art of War is a set of theories originated from the battlefield, so in the shopping mall, we can understand it flexibly and learn many theories and principles.

1, the way of employing people. Nowadays, enterprises advocate people-oriented, and excellent human resources are the most important resources of enterprises. The thirteen articles of Sun Tzu's Art of War run through the decisive position of man in the war. The "Preliminary Plan" puts forward that "whoever has the right path will have the ability", emphasizing that generals should pay equal attention to rewards and punishments when managing the army and leading their subordinates; "Wisdom, faithfulness, benevolence, courage and strictness" are five abilities that a general must possess; Soldiers are a national event, a place of life and death, and a way to survive. The "soldiers" here are "generals who know how to use soldiers". Sun Tzu attached great importance to the role of generals in the war, just as modern enterprises regard human resources as the treasure of enterprises. For another example, "those who know the soldiers, those who give birth to the people, and those who are the masters of national security" (combat articles) all emphasize the importance of generals. In fact, it also emphasizes the role of foot soldiers. Enterprises also need to emphasize teamwork, care for employees, and cultivate employees' loyalty and sense of belonging to the enterprise. "Will listen to my plan, use it to win and leave it. If you don't listen to me, you will lose it. " An enterprise is a team, and teamwork is an important factor for its prosperity. If enterprises can't make concerted efforts with Qi Xin, they will inevitably waste more resources in internal friction.

2. Corporate culture. "If the husband wins the temple without fighting, there will be more; If the temple didn't win before the war, it would be too few. More is better than less, but better than nothing! " The decision-makers of the war must make careful plans before the war and make different estimates and arrangements for all possible situations in the war, that is to say, they must fight a prepared war. This is a good interpretation of human resources strategy and planning. Facing the increasingly complex and changeable external environment and the higher requirements of employees in the organization, the organization pays more and more attention to strategy. Human resource planning is a forecasting activity, which is simply "calculation". Enterprises should formulate this year's strategy at the beginning of the year, plan personnel demand, training, performance appraisal and salary management, plan ahead and calmly cope with future development and changes. In today's high-speed market environment, if you don't prepare anything, you will be eliminated!

"Therefore, those who are good at fighting and seeking potential do not blame others, so they can choose people and follow the trend" (military situation), in which the emphasis is on "potential" rather than "people". Just like a general saw the "potential" in a war, corporate executives should grasp the "potential" in a shopping mall, organize appropriate manpower in time, and seize business opportunities instead of passively blaming subordinates for perfection. The organizational structure of personnel is only a means, not an end. It must be able to change because of the change of "potential", so that the right talents can seize the opportunity and play a role in the right position. The "potential" mentioned here is similar to "So, the enemy has no constant potential, the water is unpredictable, and the winner can be called God because of the change of the enemy" (virtual reality). All kinds of information in shopping malls are changing rapidly, and they can only be swallowed up by the ocean of shopping malls. When the enemy changes and we change, the key lies in who takes the initiative on the battlefield first and preemptively.

3. Incentive mechanism. "So, the killers are angry; Those who take advantage of the enemy are also rich. "(Battle) To make the army kill the enemy heroically, it should inspire the morale of the soldiers who unite as enemies; If you want to seize the enemy's materials, you must resort to material rewards. If an enterprise wants to be in an invincible position in the competition and become a team with considerable fighting capacity, it should advocate an entrepreneurial spirit of "sharing weal and woe". It is the same as the so-called "conspiracy" (conspiracy). Good performance management of enterprises also needs to be supplemented by incentives, such as material rewards. With the continuous improvement of people's needs, from physiological needs to the needs of respect and self-realization, sometimes a compliment at the meeting may be more effective. This is because "soldiers are like water, in the shape of water, avoiding heights and falling; In the modeling of soldiers, it has the same effect as "avoiding reality and attacking the virtual" emphasized in "Virtual and Real Articles". Enterprises should try their best to meet the needs of employees, avoid the needs of employees, meet the needs of employees, and motivate employees to the maximum extent.

"Therefore, it is necessary to take it" (March), and Sun Tzu emphasized both civil and military skills in running the army, paying equal attention to rewards and punishments. In enterprise management, only by combining civil and military skills with rewards and punishments can we improve employees' enthusiasm for production, make everyone strive to be the first, and form a good corporate atmosphere.

Sun Tzu's Art of War is the Bible in the commercial war, especially in the era of China's rapid transformation from planned economy to market economy, that is, in the commercial war of various industries, from unifying the "King of Zhou" to the "Spring and Autumn Period" and then rapidly developing to the "Warring States Period", Sun Tzu's Art of War has more profound guiding significance and practical application significance for our entrepreneurs.

Reading the Art of War once is equivalent to not reading it. You have to read more books and think more to discover the infinite wisdom.

Reflections on Sun Tzu's Art of War I read Sun Tzu's Art of War bought from Xinhua Bookstore today. I have heard of Sun Tzu's Art of War before. This makes me look forward to it. After reading this book, I admire Sun Tzu for writing such a good book on the art of war during the war.

This book focuses on some historical battles and what strategies generals used to win. Sun Tzu once said: "The great event of the country is also the way to survive in the land of life and death." This means that the army is a national event and is related to credentials.

First of all, Sun Tzu strategically summarized the basic characteristics of nine different combat areas and demonstrated their influence on the psychological state of officers and men. And put forward specific and flexible contingency measures to advocate giving full play to combat effectiveness in surprise attacks. Then, Sun Tzu praised the strategic attack and advocated going deep into the enemy's country to fight. He believed that this had the advantages of making soldiers obey orders, fighting hard, solving the problem of troops' rest on the spot, being brave and fearless. Third, according to the characteristics of strategic surprise attack, Sun Tzu put forward some progressive thoughts on running the army, such as emphasizing strict decrees, mountain-like military orders, prohibiting superstition and rumors, and attaching importance to maintaining the unity of the army.

The improvisation, willingness to use one's brain, hurry up and discipline shown in this book are all worth learning, which will enable us to achieve good results in future studies.

The second article

Sun Tzu's Art of War is a classic military work written by Sun Wu, a great strategist in ancient China, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. He was originally from Qi, and later moved to Wu. Because he is good at the art of war, Wu Zixu, the minister of Wu, recommended him to the king of Wu. Sun Wu dedicated his 13 articles on the art of war to the king of Wu. He Lv, with Sun Wu as the general, sent troops to break Chu in the west and Qi Jin in the north, making a name for himself among the governors. Sun Wu finally died in the state of Wu and was buried outside the Wu gate of Wudu.

The main idea and content of Sun Tzu's Art of War comes from Sun Wu. But later generations because of Hanshu? Sun Tzu's Art of War consists of 82 articles and 9 volumes. Most of them think that 13 was written by Cao Cao by cutting off redundancy and taking its essence. Others because of Hanshu? Qi Sun recorded in Yiwenzhi, that is, Sun Bin's The Art of War, has been lost for a long time. There is only one Art of War, 13 of which is believed to have been written by Sun Bin. However, in 1972, a number of bamboo slips, Sun Bin's Art of War and Sun Tzu's Art of War, as well as more than 70 bamboo slips that recorded Sun Wu's words and deeds, were unearthed from the Han Tomb in Yinque Mountain, Linyi, Shandong Province. Scholars have tended to think that 13 should be written by Sun Wu, and 82 pieces were made by Sun Wu in his later research to supplement and explain.5438.9999999999996

There are 13 articles in The Art of War, each of which has its own theme, but it constitutes a complete ideological system.

The chapter "Ji" discusses whether the war can be carried out. Sun Wu pointed out that war is a major event related to the life and death of the country. Tao, heaven, earth, generals and law are the five basic elements that determine the outcome of a war. "Tao" means that people and rulers are of one mind; "Heaven" refers to weather seasons such as day and night, sunny and rainy, cold and summer, as well as destiny, personnel and morality; "Land" refers to the strength, danger, level and distance of land and terrain, and the advantages and disadvantages of advancing and retreating; "General" refers to the general's wisdom, loyalty to rewards and punishments, bravery, strong will and strict military discipline; "Law" refers to the organization of the army, the division and management of the duties of generals, and the supply and management of military supplies. Sun believes that starting from these five elements, according to whether the monarch is wise, whether the generals are talented, what are the conditions of "heaven" and "land", whether laws and regulations can be implemented, whether the army is strong or weak, whether the army is well trained, and whether rewards and punishments are clear, we can predict the outcome of the war and take appropriate countermeasures and corresponding actions.

The chapter "Combat" mainly expounds how to carry out war. Sun believes that the consumption of war and the expenditure of war funds are very huge, and a protracted war is bound to endanger the survival of the country. So he advocates a quick decision. In addition, in order to make up for his own consumption and weaken the enemy, he also advocated "taking food as the enemy" and "winning the enemy is beneficial."

The article "Conspiracy to Attack" mainly discusses how to attack enemy countries. Sun advocates the greatest success at the lowest possible cost, that is, winning without fighting, taking without attacking and destroying without fighting. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, he particularly emphasized winning by strategy, pointing out that the best way to use troops is to win by political strategy first, then by diplomatic means, finally by force, and finally by siege. To do this, we should not only know ourselves, but also know ourselves.

The chapter "Shape" mainly talks about how to use the "shape" of material to save oneself and achieve complete victory. Sun believes that only by putting yourself in an invincible position first, and then waiting and seeking opportunities to defeat the enemy can we win the war. When the winning conditions are insufficient, we should take defensive measures, and when the winning conditions are met, we should take offensive measures. Therefore, people who know how to fight are good at putting themselves in an invincible position and creating opportunities to defeat the enemy. Only such a person can master the decision of victory or defeat, and what he has defeated is the doomed enemy. The "shape" of the above materials that can make it invincible is the number of products, military assets and soldiers produced by the size of the country, as well as the strength of military strength comparison.

The "potential" chapter mainly expounds how to create a favorable situation to overwhelm the other side. Sun believes that as long as we choose talented generals, give full play to their talents and create an overwhelming and powerful situation with our own military strength, foot soldiers can bravely defeat the enemy. To create a favorable situation, we must correctly organize and deploy troops, be good at commanding and mobilizing troops, and be good at winning by surprise, that is, taking regular soldiers as the enemy and winning by surprise. "Odd" and "positive" complement each other and change endlessly. Therefore, if you want to win by surprise, you must be good at changing with time, place and situation, and change strange and correct tactics according to the changes in the situation. In addition, in order to create a favorable situation, we must also be good at deliberately showing weakness to the enemy and luring him, so as to deceive and mobilize him and create a favorable opportunity to defeat him.

Comments on Fan's The Art of War;

There is a cloud in "Thousand Characters": the heavens and the earth are mysterious and the universe is vast. Since the beginning of the world, China has stood for 5,000 years, leaving countless beautiful works, among which The Art of War is one. Time cannot hide its charm. Reading is like drinking pure wine, like sobering. I feel a lot, and I don't want to vomit.

Sun Tzu's art of war involves many aspects. From my point of view and understanding, I will talk about my views from the aspects of strategy and the connection with modernity.

Chairman Mao once said: "Policies and strategies are the life of the Party, and leading comrades at all levels must pay full attention to them and never be careless."

Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the important events of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of life and death must be observed.

"War is a continuation of politics." "Politics is the concentrated expression of economy." Soldiers, in a narrow sense, are wars, and in a broad sense, they include politics and military affairs. We can divide it into three levels: tactics, campaigns and strategies. Chairman Mao said: "attach importance to the enemy tactically and despise the enemy strategically." Tactical victory may temporarily reverse the situation, but strategic mistakes often lead to the tragedy of national death. Ancient Carthage was invincible in Rome, and Xiang Yu was invincible in Liu Bang. The picture shows that the ancients were heartbroken! By comparing two modern examples, we can feel the wisdom in Sun Tzu's Art of War more sensibly. Regardless of ideology and national feelings, it is tactically desirable to comment on Germany and Japan during World War II from the perspective of "being a soldier", but their short-sightedness in strategy did lead to their complete failure. Sun Tzu said: Those who were good at fighting in the past were invincible first, and they won when they waited for the enemy. You can't beat yourself, but you can beat the enemy. Therefore, a good soldier can be invincible, but the enemy cannot be defeated. Therefore, it is not feasible to win. Can't win, keep it; But the winner, attack also. Insufficient rules, more attacks. Confucius said, "Too much is too late." "The golden mean is loyalty and forgiveness." This is a fact. No matter a country, an army, a small company or a family, they can't be divorced from their own reality and blindly pursue too high a goal, which will lead to failure. Speaking of Germany, it is precisely because of the victories over Poland and France, or a series of diplomatic, economic and military victories after Hitler came to power that he was carried away, blindly or simply madly challenged the Soviet Union led by Stalin, declared war on the United States, and was invincible from almost one country to the whole world, regardless of his own human and resource conditions? If Hitler had a strategic mind, he would stop when possible. After defeating France, it will join hands with the Soviet Union, unite Italy to send troops to the Middle East and North Africa, control the Mediterranean Sea with the inner lake as the axis, and the Soviet Union will go south to Southeast Europe and Central Asia, and enter the strategic rear of Britain and India, the base camp of human resources. The result is not known yet. Let's talk about Japan. After the Meiji Restoration in 1967, we first fought the Manchu naval battle to capture Korea and Japan. ? Taiwan Province Province, where the Qing Dynasty won huge war compensation and rich capital, then defeated Russia, annexed Northeast China, and then basically controlled North China until 37 years ago. If we had stopped there at that time, we Chinese nation would really have no peace. However, the minds of Japanese militarists were carried away by unscrupulous success, which also made them blindly confident, wantonly expanded their aggression, aroused the whole people's resistance to Japan, and declared war on the United States and Britain under the threat of resources, thus abruptly ending the peak of national strength after Meiji and the country perished. As Sun Tzu said, "A good defender hides in nine places, and a good attacker moves for more than nine days, so he can protect himself and win the game." If you don't understand this truth, even if you win for a while, in the long run, you will be insatiable and swallowed up by your own ambitions. True strategists are often hard to find. Whether a country or a nation has its own strategists often determines their fate. As we all know, Chairman Mao is universally acknowledged as an unparalleled strategist since ancient times. The role of its strategy and tactics in the new rise of the Chinese nation, which has been weak for a hundred years, is not mentioned here. We can compare the tragic fate of some people who lack their own strategists. Some people say: "Arabs are still calling for their own Mao Zedong, and Indians have really lost the opportunity to own Mao Zedong forever." The two most fateful nationalities in the world today are Kurds and Arabs, both of whom are fighting for the establishment of an independent and unified nation-state. We might as well look at Arabia, which has been the focus of the world for many years. After the Second World War, just like in India, Arabia was artificially divided into many countries by veteran imperialists. But the same historical glory, the same cultural beliefs and the same people make it difficult to suppress Arab national unity. Careful people can notice that many ruling parties in Arab countries are "Arab Social Baath Party", and their programs are devoted to Arab unity. From Nasser and Sadat to Saddam and bin Laden today, they all carry this heavy banner like a relay, and there are countless helpers, such as Gaddafi in Libya, Assad in Syria and De Hussein in Jordan. Their achievements made little progress, and they overthrew the reactionary and decadent feudal princes supported by the United States and Britain, such as Egypt, Libya, Iraq and Syria. A United Republic including Egypt, Libya and Syria was initially established. However, it is precisely because of strategic and tactical mistakes that we are struggling. Objectively speaking, from the perspective of population and economic strength, only Egypt has the ability and strength to achieve Arab reunification. Nasser did not succeed, and Sadat did not succeed. So, is there any hope of success for the latecomers? In the early 1990s, Saddam made his last attempt, but it also failed. Perhaps only Arabs can appreciate the bitterness of this failure, but this does not prevent us from discussing the gains and losses. Objectively speaking, from the perspective of weather, the period of hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union before the 1990s was the best time. At that time, the biggest obstacle to Arab reunification was that the US military did not station troops on the peninsula. By the 1990s, the best opportunity had been lost, but if Saddam could really assess the situation and master the essence of Sun Tzu's Art of War, there was still the possibility of success. "Soldiers are cunning." "So, soldiers attack, second cutting, second cutting, siege. The method of attacking the city is a last resort. " At that time, Egypt was already in the arms of the United States and could be ignored. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq together account for most of the world oil market, so Saddam Hussein's policy of taking action against them is not wrong.
