Wise Words

“However desperate the situation and circumstances, don’t despair. When there is everything to fear, be unafraid. When surrounded by dangers, fear none of them. When without resources, depend on resourcefulness. When surprised, take the enemy itself by surprise.” -Sun Tzu

A quote from a wise man. Yet, because it was written over 2,000 years ago, I think it could use a little updating. This quote, by me, can be applied to life today, while saying essentially the same thing.

“However broke you are, have money. If a policeman maces you and then grinds your face into the pavement, do not be in pain. If you have been laid off from your job, do not stop working there. If you are proven guilty, be innocent. If you are dead, live.”
