An Ork tree that resists the wind loses its branches one by one and with nothing left to protect it, trunk finally snaps. The oak that bends lives longer, its trunk growing wider, its roots deeper and more tenacious.
Does this sound familiar to us ? When we are being attacked by people, we learned about the mistakes that we made. From the mistakes, we learned to progress in life, we are smarter and wiser.
For the past years, I have learned to empty myself, unlearn and relearn. I learned to surrender to the call of nature and I emerged victorious every time.
When you are weaker, never fight for honor's sake, choose surrender instead. Surrender gives you time to recover, time to torment and ittitate your congureror, time to wait for his pwoer to wane. Do not give him the satisfaction of fighting and defeating you -- surrender first. By turning the other cheek you infuriate and unsettle him. Make surrender a tool of power. Do not resiste or fight back, but yield turn the other cheek, bend. You will find that this often neutralizes their behavior.
If you find yourself temporarily weakened, the surrender tactic is perfect for raising yourself up again -- it disguises your ambition; it teaches you patience and sefl control, key skills in the game; and it puts you in the best possible position for taking advantage of your oppressor's sudden slide. If you run or fight back, in the long tun you cannot win. If you surrender, you will almost awlasy emerge victoriois.
