- 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
