While others may find beauty in endless dreams, warriors find it in reality., in awareness of limits, in making the most of what they have. ... Warriors focus on what they do have, the strengths that they do possess and that they must use creatively. Knowing when to slow down, to renew, to retrench, they outlast their opponents. They play for the long term." - The 33 Strategies of War
