• Know when to fight, when to stall and when to retreat. (Know when to confront, when to main status quo and when to collaborate).
• Use guile and surprise war. (Develop technical expertise and intellectual superiority through education and value formation. Act swiftly.
• Be brave, loyal and comply with instructions. (Practice dedication, unity and full adherence to your mission and objectives.
