Foreknowledge enables you to strike and conquer and achieve the extra-ordinary. This kind of knowledge can only be obtained from men, spies. Engage shamelessly in espionage, but do not flaunt it, you do not want to be caught spying, if only because the information loses its value once the opposition knows that you have it.
Always have two or three sources of information (collateral sources) to corroborate your spies' reports before accepting that their information is correct. This applies to general information too.
Make use of local inhabitants, the officials of the enemy, turning the spies of the enemy (double agents), deception and those who return from the enemy camp.
Remember that all is fair in Love, War, Diplomacy, Politics and Business.
Even when there is no conflict, spend a little time each day trying to find out the secrets of the opposition. Build dossiers on them and study these well. Learn to use their successful techniques and to avoid their errors. Find their weaknesses and use them against them.
