Tuesday November 03, 2009 You have much to learn, Grasshopper. Sun Tzu would love the EU
Allthingsd.com ran an article about how Larry Ellison is known for his following of Sun Tzu's The Art of War. Keen observation, Grasshopper. But, you have not applied what you know to be true... See: Here's a quote: Oracle CEO Larry Ellison is famous for his admiration of The Art of War, Sun Tzu’s sixth-century treatise on battle tactics. And it’s served him well in his long- running battle with SAP and Oracle’s hostile bid for PeopleSoft. But it may get him in trouble when it comes to Oracle’s (ORCL) dealings with the European Commission...Those who study The Art of War know that in general, you should say that you will go left and at the last minute you go right instead. In sports, they call this the head fake. The idea is that you should never let anyone know what you truly want, what you really want. So, let's say if you want to keep Java technology untouched, then obviously you should instead say that you care about some other technology which you secretly aren't really that interested in... to throw everyone off the track. Sun Tzu teaches all this type of stuff. Always create a diversion, so that no one knows what you truly care most about... Watch and learn what Sun Tzu really teaches about what to do with what you really want, what you really, really want...
