SUN TZE ! Art of War
Sun Tze - The Art of War is definitely a text I take into consideration in modern business and management theory. Eastern cultures have already absorbed these concepts to be effective and successful in the business market.
I first realized how relevant this text was in every day life as I am often involve in share market investment. Most competitive business came to be as a form of safe and civilized combat. Compete in this business world, is a battle of armies. All use tactics and theories described in Sun Tze.
Today, I take theories from Sun Tze and local business concepts to excel in my judgments on investment. However, I believe that success comes from being resourceful and adapting to any situation that you are presented with. Make good judgments from that which you have learn in the past but be prepared to take calculated risks to break new ground and achieve anything.

Introduction of Sun Tze ~
Sun Tze or Sun Tzu's real name is called "Sun Wu 孙武". He was the most famous representative of the school of Military. He originated from the "Qi" kingdom but most of his military career was spent in the "Wu" kingdom where he helped King Helu of Wu trained the army.
King Wu sent him 100 court maids to allow Sun Wu to train them. The court maids treated the training like a game. He ordered them to be disciplined and without listening to his order, they continued to laugh. Sun Wu had 2 concubines of King Wu executed and after enforcing this discipline. The court maids listened to his order.
Later, Sun Wu was appointed as a general and he was able to led the forces of Wu to defeat Chu kingdom and follow by Qi and Jin.
He was most notable for his military treatise "Sun Tze's Art of War", which was the first military philosophical work in chinese history.

You make decision everyday. Some are wise and some are not.
Life like a war, people ready to fight and sacrify stay at the frontline; for those who capable be the instructor; for those who refuse to take risk might get rid of others.

The Art of War is definitely a book to read and beside military strategies, it also teach the way to treat people, philsophy, politics and others.
However, the americans use it in military but they are still no good at it. Ha ha...cheers.

Shahid Khan is currently the Chairman of Flex-N-Gate Corporation and have been working there since 1970 while he was an engineering student in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at UIUC. He left the company in 1978 to start a new venture designing and building bumpers with an innovative design—a lightweight, continuous piece of metal with no seams to corrode or rust. This entrepreneurial venture, which began as a one man, one garage, one press operation, created a product that is today considered to be the industry design standard. Shahid purchased Flex-N-Gate in 1980, and under his leadership, it has grown to a $3 billion global auto parts manufacturer.
