Features: Zeng Guofan said, "To accomplish great things, half is due to human effort and half is due to fate. We should do our best within our means, and the most important aspect of human effort lies in strategy, in mindset, and in planning." From the age of thirty to seventy, one enters the mature phase of life, where strategy and mindset are always present, continuously developing. This period is also when a person can achieve great things. Whether it's Zhuge Liang or Qin Shi Huang, whether it's Zeng Guofan or Mao Zedong, they all reached the peak of their glory during this stage of life. If someone mistakenly believes that lacking strategy means being straightforward or honest, then they are truly naive, and it is easy to imagine that such a person would achieve little in life. A person with strategy is strong, while a person without strategy is weak. Therefore, we sympathize with those who lack brains—they have limited abilities, are not skilled in strategy, and are always at a disadvantage. Those who truly achieve success in society are all people with strategy, and their strategy is a symbol of wisdom.
