"The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting an opportunity slip; to avoid this, the warrior treats each situation as if it were unique and never resorts to formulae, recipes or other people's opinions"
- Paulo Coelho
About this Quote
The quote suggests that there are two major tactical errors that a person can make: making a premature move without enough factor to consider, and missing a great chance due to inaction or complacency. To avoid these errors, the warrior is recommended to approach each situation as a particular event that requires distinct factors to consider and options. The warrior is warned not to rely on pre-made solutions or the viewpoints of others, however rather to count on their own intuition, understanding, and creativity.
