be victorious.

25. Avoid your competitor's strength, and attack
their weakness
Direct attacks against their competitor's strongest point
leads to battles of attrition, which end up being very
costly for everyone involved. Instead, you should focus on
the competition's weakness, which maximizes your gains
while minimizing the use of resources.

Since the goal of your business is to survive and
prosper, you must capture your market. However,
you must do so in
such a way that your market is not destroyed in the
process.

29. “Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as
night, and when you move, fall like a
thunderbolt.”
You cannot shut your ears to the thunder or your
eyes to the lighting—so rapid are they." Likewise, an
attack should be made so quickly that it cannot be
parried.
