Read it carefully with a cool and clear mind. This is an expensive life lesson that is taught for free.
Do you know the difference between war and battle?
Well, 99.9% of them are completely unaware. Let us understand what we were taught in the training.
The battle is fought between two armed groups in a specific geographic location, with the small size of defender and attacker, lasting only for few minutes.
When there are a significant number of troops participating (such as an army command), the theatre is significantly larger, and the length is considerably longer. As a result, army commanders are sometimes known as theatre commanders.
War is between nations that include military as well as non-military actions. It may cover every domain of existence and may be spread over a long time. In purely military terms, a war will be fought between armed forces of two or more opposing forces distributed across a vast territory and waged for an undefined amount of time until one participant concedes defeat and agrees to a truce.
Now in life, if you follow the battle approach, you will only win for that particular moment, but you will eventually lose. Remember that your objective is to win your life, thus a war strategy will be more effective.
There is a famous saying, "to win a war, sometimes we have to lose a battle."
Common people have a limited vision so we talk of battle. Whereas few people have a long vision, they approach war.
The moral of the story is to stop responding to everything. Make use of your brain. Learn yourself and guide others. Start analyzing yourself. Don't try to become a Twitter or Facebook celebrity, instead build credibility that's what keeps you alive long after you've passed away. You will love this game for sure.
Some basics of warfare that people are unaware of as they have no military training or NCC training during college days.
-> If you pitch strength against strength, it will end up with a lot of casualties on both sides.
-> If you react to an enemy's provocation, in all probability you will fall into a trap.
-> If you use your best weapon at the outset, you aid the enemy to avert its devastating effects.
-> While your tactics may be known by the enemy, if the opponent is aware of your strategies, you may win the battle but lose the war.
This is true in both warfare and corporate life.
