The Art of War was written over two thousand years ago by the legendary Chinese general Sun Tzu. Surprisingly, it is just as relevant today as on the day it was written. This is the most influential book in history on military strategy and is studied by most military academies. You may wonder to yourself,that's great but it doesn't really apply to me because I'm not in the military and I don't plan on waging any wars. Fair point, but I will explain to you how this book is an absolute must read for everyone.
There is a statistic for everything and 99% percent of the time these stats are right. If you search any industry or field and google the probability of success then you going to be greatly disheartened. Whether you want to be a successful actor, sports star, entertainer, writer or entrepreneur - you're going to go through the ringer and the stats are mounted against you. The beginning is an uphill climb because you cannot imagine even how much further you have to go and whether you'll ever see the summit.
New beginnings are tough for our naturally change evasive human nature. We seek security and stability in a dynamic fast changing world where nothing stays the same - most definitely not people's lives. People live and die daily at such a rate that it's like natures way of changing socks. We're consistently thrust into circumstances that are beyond our control and we start seeking a deeper meaning, an understanding of why this is all happening. Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to why. Not religion nor science can give you an answer that is provable.
