Non-Disclosure & Deceptions - Sun Tzu

English: If the enemy is greedy, use baits to lure him. If the enemy is in disarray, attacked him. If the enemy is strong and have no weaknesses yet, be well-prepared to seize the opportunity to attack. If the enemy is superior in numbers and high morale, avoid engaging them. If the enemy is easily angered, arouse his anger. If the enemy looks down on you, increase his arrogance further. If the enemy is resting, harrass them so that they are not well-rested. If the enemy’s organization is strong, sow discord among them. Attacked places where enemy are not well-prepared or least expect an attack. This is how a war should be fought, in order to win. These strategies should not be disclosed before execution.

Modern: 对于贪利的敌人，用利诱使他；对于处与混乱状态的敌人，乘机攻取他；对于实力充实的敌人，须要防备他；对于兵力强大的敌人，须要避开他；对于容易发怒的敌人，尽量激怒他；对于鄙视我方的敌人，使他更加骄傲；对与在休息的敌人，要设法使他疲劳；对于内部团结的敌人，尽量分离他们；要在敌人没有防备时发动攻击，攻击敌人意想不到的的地方。这是兵家取胜之法，不可在执行前外传。

Original: 利而诱之，乱而取之，实而备之，强而避之，怒而扰之，卑而骄之，佚而劳之，亲而离之，攻其不备，出其不意。此乃兵家之胜，不可先传外也。
