Be Flexible like Water-Sun Tzu

Flexible like Water - Sun Tzu
English: Therefore, the victory gained from each battle comes about because strategies and tactics are never repeated. Rather, they should vary according to the circumstances, with infinite possibilities. The principle underlying military deployment may be likened to water. It is the inherent characteristic of flowing water to flow from high places and hasten its movement low places. In the same way, the disposition and deployment of an army should be to avoid strengths and attack weaknesses. Just as water controls its flow according to the characteristics of the terrain, and army should try to create its victory according to the situations of the enemy. So, in conduct of war, there are no fixed situations and condition, just like water has no constant shape and configuration. The persons who gains victories by adapting to the changing conditions and situations of the enemy can be considered a legend in warfare. Thus there is no guaranteed victory among the five elements of nature. There is no permanency for each of the four seasons. There are days which are short and days which are long. There are changes in the shape of the moon throughout a month.
Modern: 所以作战胜利都不是重复旧方式，而是适应不同的态势而不变化无穷。兵力的部署应该像流水，水的流向从高向低，进攻敌人应该避开敌人坚实之处，而趋向薄弱之处。流水的方向是由地势决定，军队作战也应该根据不同敌人而决定制胜策略。所以军队作战没有固定的态势，如同水也没有固定的形状。能够根据敌人的变化而取得胜利者，可称之为“神”。所以五行相生相克，没有固定常胜，四季变化也没有固定的开始与结束，白昼有长短，月亮有圆缺。
Original: 故其战胜不复，而应形于无穷。夫兵形像水，水之形，避高而趋下；兵之形，避实而击虚。水因地而制流，兵因敌而制胜。 故兵无常势，水无常形；能因敌变化而取胜者，谓之神。故五行无常胜，四时无常位，日有长短，月有生死。
