  • Strategy- a must read

    Was given this simple one page sheet 24 years ago by my mentor. It pertains more than just to preparing, or fighting, it pertains to LIFE in general also. Just remembered this in another thread and figured I'd post it.

    Strategy


    Strategy is a method of thought, the object of which is to codify events, set them in order of priority, and then choose the most effective course of action.

    Steps to achieve

    #1. Ascertain the realities of the situation in which you propose to take action.

    #2. Decide on the objective.

    #3. Develop a plan to achieve the objective.

    Use one's strengths against a problems weakness.
    Negate the problems strengths and ones own weakness.

    #4 To accomplish #3, you must seize and hold the initiative. Initiative is the freedom to ACT rather than being forced to REACT.

    #5. Be flexible.





    A lot of meat in that little bit of writing if you ponder each section well. It's helped me in business, life, fighting, preparing, marriage, child raising, etc. for 24 years.

    Boris- "Is it my fault you're poor?"

      Thanks, I really like #4. One of my bosses early in my USAF career said "evan and descision not made, is a decision." "It's much better to act, than not".
      Survival question. What do I need most, right now?

        Or to quote Rush (the band) "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice"
        Thanks for the post Admin,
        Maybe we need an S & P poster with it on there.

            Early on in my Navy career at age 19 I didn't get #4. Learning #4 was a very painful process, but once I got it life was SO much easier.

                    Some Heavy planning wisdom there! Measure your life by your own personal accomplishments, not those of others, your needs are the ones that count. "Do the right thing because it is the right thing to do." Simple but Sooooo Important to remember.
                    Do the right thing, because it is the right thing to do!
