To live in life, you must know who you are, know where to stop!!!

“Sun Tzu’s Art of War” is one of China’s most prominent military books.

Many people think that it is just a simple military book, but in fact, the influence of “The Art of War” is not limited to the military.

In it, Sun Tzu wrote, “If you know others and know yourself, you will not be in danger in a hundred battles; don’t know others but only know yourself, one win and one loss; If you don’t know others, if you don’t know yourself, you will lose every battle”, based on Sun Tzu’s meaning, it can be shortened to “Know yourself and know others, you will win a hundred battles”.

That is the life experience of the ancients that was summarized, passed down and today we still hear, feel and often apply it in a certain situation.

However, applying the above philosophy to life is not easy. Basically, understanding yourself is extremely difficult, let alone knowing how other people are.

There are many people who have lived most of their lives and still don’t know themselves or are too delusional about themselves. This may sound absurd, but it is reality. The story below is an example.

Ricky da Fonseca, a 30-year-old accountant, although he works most of the day in an office environment, his soul is directed towards nature, trees, grass and wild animals.

On a field trip after many days of saving, Ricky witnessed with his own eyes the painful “falling” of a leopard just because of delusion and overconfidence in himself.

Late that afternoon, after leaving the Skukuza area, Ricky’s group drove through the forests and bushes in the dim light with the hope of seeing the lions they had discovered again. from the day before.

When approaching the area south of the Tshokwane picnic spot in Kruger Park, the group of tourists suddenly saw a male leopard leisurely strolling across the road.

After repositioning himself to get a better perspective, Ricky discovered not only leopards but also a large group of baboons gathering on the road.

With a number of members up to about 50, Ricky thought to himself that there was no way the leopard would dare to act rashly.

But the predator’s subsequent actions made him doubt himself. After discovering its opponent, the leopard turned on hunting mode and then slowly disappeared into the grass along the roadside.

Little by little, when it felt close enough, suddenly from the darkness, with the speed of “lightning”, the leopard flew out and directly attacked one of the members of the monkey group. .

Although they were a bit surprised when they were ambushed, the monkeys regrouped very quickly. They immediately regrouped and counterattacked the enemy like a well-trained army.

When the leopard appeared weak, the monkeys rushed to surround him, screaming and biting. Luckily for the leopard, the monkeys did not intend to destroy its way of life but only warned with a few basic “rights”.
