KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE CONFUSION OF EVENTS. THE STRATEGY OF BALANCE
(Third stratagem)

In the midst of a battle one can possibly lose balance and lose heart. You have to deal with too many things at the same time — unexpected mistakes and failures, doubts and criticism from your own allies. There is a risk that you will be overwhelmed by emotions, you will not be able to cope with fear, depression or disappointment. But it is vital to maintain your presence of mind and clarity of thought in all circumstances. At such a moment, you should actively resist the feelings that arise, not go along with them — keep your determination, confidence and perseverance, no matter what kind of blow you are dealt. Let adversity only strengthen your spirit. Learn to move away from the chaos on the battlefield. Let others lose their heads; your composure and presence of mind will help you not to be influenced by them and not deviate from your intended goal.
