A
Joke about
Winning by De-positioning
Wise vs. Fast
A
farmer buys a new rooster to
replace his old one, and puts
him in the chicken coop...
The new rooster walks up
arrogantly to the old rooster
and says "out of the way old
man! These are my hens now. Your
time is done."
|
|
|
 |
|
The old rooster rolls his eyes.
"Alright, fine, I get it. I'm
old. But I still have some
living left to do, and won't
give up my hens so easily. There
is only room in this coop for
one of us. Let's settle it this
way: we race around the coop.
The winner stays, and the other
goes."
The young rooster agrees
to the challenge.

|
The old rooster says "but
listen, I'm not the young cock I
once was. You have to give me a
5 second head start to make it
fair." The young rooster agrees
to these terms.
When race time comes, the young
rooster counts down to start it.
"3... 2...1... go!" The old
rooster takes off running,
giving it his all. After 5
seconds, the new rooster takes
off after him. As they round the
first turn of the race, the new
rooster is already about to
catch up to the old one, right
on his heels.
Then the farmer's wife shouted
to her husband: "Who did you
bring? He's chasing our old
rooster!"
The farmer grabs his shotgun,
and shoots the young rooster,
leaving only some blood and
feathers. He exclaims angrily,
"Damn it! That's the third gay
rooster I've bought this month!"

Know your enemy and know yourself
– your victory will be painless.
Know the weather and the field
– your victory will be complete.
Carefully compare the opposing army with your own, so that you may
know where strength is superabundant and where it is deficient.
You can deter your potential enemy by using his
weaknesses against him.
|
| |
Planning |
| |
If the enemy has a strong position, entice
him away from it.
If the enemy is confused, be decisive.
If the enemy is solid,
prepare against him.
If the enemy is
strong, avoid him.
If the enemy is angry, frustrate him.
If the enemy is weaker, make him arrogant.
If the enemy is relaxed, make him work.
If the enemy is united, break him apart.
Attack him when he is unprepared. Leave when he least expects it.
