Do you think work is important?

孙子说：古代善于指挥作战的人，总是先创造条件使自己处于不被战胜的地位，然后等待战胜敌人的机会。做到不被战胜，关键在于自己能否掌握主动权；敌人能否被战胜，在于敌人是否给我们以可乘之机。所以，善于作战的人，能够做到不被敌人战胜，而不是做到战胜敌人。所以说，胜利可以预见，却不能强求。
 
有了不被战胜的条件，就可以守；敌方出现了可乘之机，就可以攻。之所以施行防守，是因为实力不足，取胜的条件不够充分；之所以采取进攻，是因为实力强大而敌人相对弱小。善于防守的，如同深藏于地底，敌人无迹可寻；善于进攻的，能高度机动灵活地打击敌人，犹如神兵天降，让敌人防不胜防。所以，善防善攻的军队，既能保全自己，又能战胜敌人。

En el episodio de hoy vuelvo a hablar de palabras, esta vez de oxímoron, que son la combinación de dos palabras o expresiones de significado opuesto que juntas dan lugar a un nuevo significado. 
En el episodio hablo de oxímoros en español y te explico su significado y el significado de las palabras que los forman.

A mí, personalmente, me parece algo muy curioso, y espero tú lo encuentres interesante también. Y como siempre, que lo disfrutes. 
Después de escucharlo no te olvides de dejar una valoración a este podcast, ni de pasarte por mi Instagram para comentar qué te ha parecido este episodio y si conoces otros oxímoros, ¿son comunes también en tu idioma nativo?
