<\/div>\n
There is a saying among soldiers:<\/div>\n
I dare not make the first move but would rather play the guest;<\/div>\n
I dare not advance an inch but would rather withdraw a foot.<\/div>\n
This is called marching without appearing to move,<\/div>\n
Rolling up your sleeves without showing your arm,<\/div>\n
Capturing the enemy without attacking,<\/div>\n
Being armed without weapons.<\/div>\n
There is no greater catastrophe than underestimating the enemy.<\/div>\n
By underestimating the enemy, I almost lose what I value.<\/div>\n
Therefore when the battle is joined,<\/div>\n
The underdog will win.<\/div>\n
