以治待亂以靜待譁此治心者也
Sun Tzu
Being disciplined and calm in the face of chaos and confusion among the enemy is a skill that must be mastered. By maintaining self-control, you can maintain a clear mind and make better decisions, even in the midst of chaos. This can help you take advantage of any opportunities that arise and gain the upper hand in a conflict.
Remaining disciplined and calm, and to wait for the appearance disorder and commotion amongst the competitor, is the art of retaining self-control.
In business, it can be beneficial to wait for a competitor to become disordered and chaotic before moving in to take their market share. By remaining disciplined and calm, and not rushing into action, you can better assess the situation and identify opportunities to gain an advantage. This requires self-control, as it can be tempting to react impulsively when faced with a competitor’s struggles. By maintaining self-control and waiting for the right moment, you can better position yourself to succeed. This approach is known as the “art of retaining self-control,” as it requires skill and discipline to master.
