• conceal your purpose and hide your progress; do not disclose the extent of your designs until they cannot be opposed, until the combat is over
  • win the victory before you declare the war
  • control what you say
  • make your reputation simple and base it on one sterling quality
  • do not let yourself get angry or defensive at the slanderous comments of enemies--that reveals insecurity, not confidence in your reputation
  • never appear desperate in your self-defense
  • every kind of attention will work in your favor
  • better to be attacked than ignored
  • never do yourself what others can do for you
  • lay back, keep calm and let others be frustrated by the traps you lay for them
