Our struggles in life develop our strengths. Without struggles, we never grow and never get stronger, so it’s important for us to tackle challenges on our own, and not be relying on help from others.



Short Stories with Rose 

The Butterfly (Struggles)

将帅是国君的辅佐，辅佐得周详严密，国家就必定强盛；辅佐有疏漏，国家就必然衰弱。
 
国君对军队的危害大体有三种：不了解军队不可以进攻而命令进攻，不了解军队不能撤退而强令军队撤退，这叫做束缚军队；不懂得军中事务却要干预军队的管理事务，将士们会无所适从；不懂得军队作战的权宜机变，却要干预军队的指挥，将士就会产生疑虑。如果军队既无所适从，又疑虑重重，其他诸侯国就会趁机兴兵作难。这就叫做自乱其军，自取其败。因此，以下五种情况可预见获胜：懂得什么情况下可以与敌作战，什么情况下不能与敌作战的，能够获胜；懂得根据兵力的多寡而灵活采取不同战略战术的，能够获胜；将帅与士兵同心同德、同仇敌忾的，能够获胜；以有备之师对付疏懈之敌的，能够获胜；将帅有组织指挥才能而国君又不妄加干预的，能够获胜。这五者是作战取胜的根本条件。
 
所以说：既了解敌方情况，又了解自己情况，才能常胜不败；不了解敌方情况，只了解自己情况，胜败的几率均等；既不了解敌方情况，又不了解自己情况，那每战必败。

南辕北辙的故事也叫“北辙南辕”“北辕适楚”，讲述了魏臣季梁通过一个想去楚国却驾着车朝北面走的人与事劝谏魏安厘王放弃攻打赵国的打算。南辕北辙寓意做人和做事，首先要确立正确的方向。如果方向错了，条件越好，花的力气越大，离自己所要达到的目标就越远。
