by victory i meant a highly positive outcome - not necessarily a fight - i only said it broadly, needs to be worded properly - as such descriptive words are misleading and mean different things and different degrees to different people, the art of war has no specifics involved, hence it is applicable widely - if you read the book 33 strategies of war you would understand that those principles are timeless in a social setting
for example, one of the affirmations in the subs would say something like this:
any situation that angers me, i would not take a decision in haste or in anger and wait if appropriate for the anger to subside before taking a decision to achieve the outcome i desire.
you could read the book and turn every principle into an affirmation -
