Better prepare for confrontation
than hope that the enemy will not come.

Better ensure one's defense is impenetrable
than hope that the enemy will not attack.

Sun Tzu - Art of War

Nine Variations
Sun Tzu said:

When the commander received an order to
prepare for war, he has to assemble the troops.

In obstructed situations, do not seek shelter
When moving on open grounds, negotiate
In isolated situations, do not lingers
In surrounded situations, plan for an escape
In desperate situation, fight till the end
There are some paths that should not be taken
Avoid confronting some minor battle
Avoid attacking certain fortified areas
There situations that should not be contested

If the ruler's orders do not favor the ongoing war, ignore them.

A commander, who understands the advantages in the nine variations, knows how to execute a strategy.

Those who do not know, cannot gain advantage from any situation.

Combination of advantages
and disadvantages
Sun Tzu said:

In a controlled strategy those who do not know the theory of the nine variations despite knowledge of the five advantages, cannot succeed in employing others.

Therefore, those who can strategize smartly are certain to combine the advantages and disadvantages to overcome adversity.

Anticipating Opponent
Sun Tzu said:

Those who bend other leaders, do so by means of disadvantages.

Those who tax other leaders, do so by means of activity.

Those who hurry other leaders, do so by means of advantages.

Therefore, in executing a good strategy, better be prepared rather than assuming that they will not come. Lie in wait for their appearance.

Better ensure one's defense is impenetrable than presuming that they will not attack. Appear in a place they cannot attack.

Five Weaknesses in Commanders
Sun Tzu said:

All commanders may have
five common weaknesses.

Those who fight to die, are often killed
Those who are afraid to die, are often captured
Those who are quickly angered can be ridiculed
Those who are honorable can be insulted
The deeply emotional can be harassed

These five weaknesses are common among leaders. They pose a threat and will be catastrophic when a strategy is executed.

When an army is defeated and a leader destroyed. It is certainly cause by the five weaknesses and must be carefully avoided.
