“The Art of War while relaxing on the beach” ??
Hey Chris,
if you like the Art of War, I also recommend “The Book of 5 Rings” by Musashi. Both are great books on strategy, some of it is definitely useful in business. As the Japanese say- “Business is War”.
Hope your having a great trip!
Have a blessed trip with the misses, sounds like an interesting place. Will be reading some of the resources in the interim, thanks
Hi,
Today I have visited your blog and found some quality information. I think you have maintained a great blog. That’s why we would like to exchange links with your blog.
Please send me your link info.
Waiting for your reply.
With Best Regards,
Charles
Being an avid reader of the Chinese classics, I can say that the Art of War is interesting, but I feel it is slightly overrated.
I think you will find chapter 12 interesting, how he explains “Sorrow can turn into happiness again, dead people cannot be revived”. Though the chapter is about the usage of fire in warfare, it emphasized in the end how controlling emotions is key for the prince or general. Sort of like trading if you think about it.
Hi Chris — Hope you and the family had a good time away.
Software & service question ~~ do you only use custom screen wizard, or do you also tie in your research with daily graphs online and the industry group lising?
Thanks for the feedback …………..Barry
Gal,
As A mentions in the comments, Art of War is overrated in my opinion.
Barry,
I only use the custom screen wizard, not the entire package from daily graphs online. Their charts are limited.
