Very famous sentence from IV. Tactical Dispositions.

Sun Tzu said:

The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat,

and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy.

To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands,

but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

Thus the good fighter is able to secure himself against defeat,

but cannot make certain of defeating the enemy.

Hence the saying:

One may know how to conquer without being able to do it.

Security against defeat implies defensive tactics;

ability to defeat the enemy means taking the offensive.

Standing on the defensive indicates insufficient strength;

attacking, a superabundance of strength.

The general who is skilled in defense hides in the most secret recesses of the earth;

he who is skilled in attack flashes forth from the topmost heights of heaven.

Thus on the one hand we have ability to protect ourselves; on the other, a victory that is complete.

To see victory only when it is within the ken of the common herd is not the acme of excellence.

Neither is it the acme of excellence if you fight and conquer.

The Pendant top does not come with any chain.

The love, the detail, the craftsmanship and the skill that went into this os second to none. There is nothing out there like this anywhere. I'm so honored and proud to be wearing a unique handcrafted work of art by Master Kazuhide Saito. This goes with anything I wear. Not only I was blessed with something that I will cherish forever, I also made a friend with Masaru Kikuchi through my correspondence. I was educated on the traditional Japanese culture which enlighten me from misconceived perception. The Japanese culture, way or life and the art they masterfully possess, has become a mission that I will pursue. In my conversation with Masaru Kikuchi, I've read Bushido, The Thirty-Six Stratagems, and the Book of the Five Rings. My purchase not only provided me with a beautiful piece of wearable art, I've made a friend, I've educateded myself to better myself and I've expanded my knowledge-based based.
