Look beyond the obvious and identify what these gravity-like elements are and make it your target. Distressing it will certainly make them fall apart. - Defeat Them In Detail: The Divide-And-Conquer Strategy"

"from": "gpt",
"value": "Instead of looking at the totality of your opponent, try to examine its parts and how you can defeat each of them. The whole may appear overwhelming and disheartening to conquer. The parts, however, seem easier to overcome. Aside from the parts, you must also take into consideration the joints that connect them. In implementing change, for example, you can only get them to adapt the change if you understand what is causing their resistance. A connection to the past is normally the cause thus comes the need to disturb them out of it. This connection to the past is normally emotional in nature. In this case, the emotions involved serve as a joint and you need to tackle it to break it."

"value": "People tend to camouflage their weaknesses by presenting the opposite. The most effective way to overcome this kind of situation is to attack indirectly. Targeting the opponent’s strong front will only waste your time and energy. You may need to take a longer, but more effective, route. Consider areas least expected to be attacked. Eventually, because of surprise, they will unintentionally uncover their weak aspect and will unconsciously make the rest of the attack easier for you. - Envelop The Enemy: The Annihilation Strategy"

Remember that the mind is a mighty propeller. Given these two facts, envelopment does not have to be physically accurate. You may approach psychologically by merely creating a feeling of being caught without any way to escape. Appeal to your opponent’s emotions and you will notice that things will automatically fall into place the way you expected it."

A wise strategist will think of ways to weaken the opponent first before engaging in actual battle.\nHere are four main principles by which you can contrive your enemies to weakness: Craft a plan with branches. Analyze the situation in its entirety. Equip yourself with different options or ‘branches’. This provides you the necessary flexibility to cope with whatever the situation has to offer."

Problems can be solved but dilemmas will surely leave your opponents confused. Provide them options but make sure both are to your advantage. Thus, whatever they choose, they still fail.\nCreate maximum disorder. The opponent reads your every move the same way that you do. Do not hinder him from doing so but send out only meaningless and ambiguous information. This will simply lead him to spiraling disorder and confusion. - Negotiate While Advancing: The Diplomatic-War Strategy"

The strength that you have prepared for battle should be maintained during negotiations for these usually involve scheming for power and control.\nMoreover, you should also study your opponents just like the way you analyze them before battle. A good understanding of their weaknesses and goals will give you advantage in terms of maneuver. Conversely, you should make sure that you remain as ambiguous and as unpredictable to them as possible. This will give you a better position when you maneuver them towards the corners of a certain circumstance and personally gain advancement. - Know How To End Things: The Exit Strategy"

Your goal is definitely not to create enemies who shall unendingly go after you. Winning the war is not what is ultimately important. How you win it and what the war made out of you bring more significance above all. Given this, you have to know when to push through or when to retreat. If you feel that in no way will you be geared towards your goals, you might as well retreat. Otherwise, you will realize its negative effects when it is already difficult or impossible to remedy."

Leave them to their own interpretations while you advance. Remember that, at times, perception is blinded by what one expects to see so strategize around this idea.\n\n\n-\tTake\tThe\tLine\tOf\tLeast\tExpectation:\tThe\tOrdinary- Extraordinary Strategy\nYour enemies may anticipate your actions by basing it on certain patterns of actions and behavior. Fail them in their expectations and be as unpredictable as possible. You might want to confuse them by being conventional initially. Once they have established the idea that you work traditionally, veer away and work extraordinarily. Confusion and disorder then occur at their side, hindering them from executing the right strategies. - Occupy The Moral High Ground: The Righteous Strategy"

At war, the opponent’s ultimate goal is certainly to target or capture you by tempting you to attack certain points that are intended to make you fall into a trap. Do not give away success. Do everything you can to make their efforts pointless. Let them go home empty- handed. The mere psychological effects of emptiness can negatively affect their strategies.

The emotional aspect should not take center stage this time. Moreover, an increase in number does not guarantee quality. There should be a healthy balance between quality and quantity.\nKeep in mind as well that you are getting allies to complement you temporarily. In other words, they should be able to do things you cannot accomplish on your own and possess some of the resources that you lack. However, just like in other relationships, it has to be two-way. You should also be able to cater to their self-interests to sustain their support. - Give Your Rivals Enough Rope To Hang Themselves: The One-Upmanship Strategy"

You may be working with people you think are working with you towards the same goal. However, you should not freely give away trust. There may be some who are good at pretending to be one with you while working for their own personal interests. Defeat them by subtly making them feel inferior and dubious of their capabilities. Thereafter, you do not need to do anything else as the situation will run its own course. Doubt never does a person any good. Eventually, you will find them committing endless and pointless mistakes. They will soon realize their own defeat but there will be no one else to blame but themselves. You will then be able to isolate them without you seeming cruel."

"value": "To conquer something is not always straightforward as envy comes into the picture. Some simply cannot appreciate your successes but wish for your downfall instead. Such should not push you to lower your standards. You may still maintain your ambition but you must work towards it differently.\nTaking small bites is the most suitable way of going about it. However, this manner requires that you be clear and specific in your objectives at the very start. Knowing your target well will make significant parts more evident and will allow you to strategically conquer each of them. This strategy is too subtle that it does not capture much attention. In effect, you can freely move about and implement your plans. If and when they do notice, it will all be too late since you must have conquered much already. Constraining you at some point will only work to their disadvantage."

Use this information to propel your subtle maneuvers leading to the opponent’s destruction.\n\n\n-\tDominate\tWhile\tSeeming\tTo\tSubmit:\tThe\tPassive- Aggression Strategy\nOutright expression of contradiction is often translated as a form of aggression. This mainly explains why some people are hesitant to implement something that is not in line with the usual as they are concerned about gaining resistance and dislike. Therefore, to block off this notion before it even surfaces, you must project yourself as in submission to your opponent. In this way, you get zero resistance. You, in turn, resort to subtly influencing them as you go with the flow. - Sow Uncertainty And Panic Through Acts of Terror: The Chain-Reaction Strategy"

{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "A person can easily be influenced and affected by the emotions of those surrounding him. Introducing fear instigates extreme emotional reaction that spreads almost automatically. A great sense of fear makes anyone more vulnerable than usual and less resistant. Strategic capabilities seem to take the back seat as well. You can take advantage of this if you want to easily conquer an enemy."
