In basketball, it’s about playing the game as if it’s your last game. In life, it’s about living everyday as if it’s your last day.
Winning the Basketball War (LIFE) with Sun Tzu’s 6 Principles
1. Win All Without Fighting: Achieving the Objective Without
Destroying It
Sun Tzu’s War: “When you fight, you fight for something of value, and
should you destroy yourself or that something of value while fighting to
obtain it, then you have lost your real purpose for fighting.”
My Life’s War: Just like in a basketball game, winning in life means being
able to achieve my goals through the full use of my capabilities and
strengths without hurting or injuring other people intentionally for my own
gain.
Basketball Equivalent: Winning the Game with least Cost (Injured

2. Avoid Strength, Attack Weakness: Striking Where the Enemy is
Most Vulnerable
Sun Tzu’s War: “Now an army may be likened to water, for just as
flowing water avoids the heights and hastens to the lowlands, so an army
avoids strength and strikes weakness.”
My Life’s War: In life, my greatest enemy is myself. In order to win,
there’s no better way than to know myself deeper, that is, be more aware
of my strengths and my weaknesses. In my case, I would have to learn
how to utilize these strengths to my advantage and overcome myweaknesses so that I could win my own battles.
Basketball Equivalent: Scouting your Opponents

3. Deception and Foreknowledge: Winning the Information War
Sun Tzu’s War: “All warfare is based on deception.”
My Life’s War: For me to win the Information War, I should always carry
with me updated knowledge of my environment (home, workplace,
community). There are also instances when some of my family members,
friends, or colleagues would be interfering or opposing my goals and
objectives in life. In these cases, I would have to move quickly before my
plans to achieving my goals are thwarted.

Sun Tzu’s War: “Speed is the essence of war. Take advantage of the enemy's
unpreparedness; travel by unexpected routes and strike him where has taken no
precautions.”
My Life’s War: I would have to support myself with various life’s experiences and
applications. This way I would be more prepared in dealing with life. It’s about
learning the trades of life so that I could be able to adapt more easily and quickly to
changes in my environment. I don’t want to be surprised by unlikely circumstances
in life so I should be ready and prepared at all times. These could come from my
own experiences, observations, readings, and lessons from other people.
Basketball Equivalent: Basketball Trainings and Practices
Winning the Basketball War thru Sun Tzu’s 6 Principles (ART OF WAR)5. Shaping the Enemy: Preparing the Battlefield
Sun Tzu’s War: “Therefore those skilled in war bring the enemy to the
field of battle and are not brought there by him.”
My Life’s War: It’s about me shaping my life by defining the rules that
would serve as my guiding principles when I do my actions and decisions.
It’s about me discerning clearly where I would want to go, taking the
rudder, and putting situations in my own hands. It’s about maintaining
good plans and strategies in addressing various struggles that would come
my way.
Basketball Equivalent: Dictating the Tempo of the Game

Sun Tzu’s War: “He who knows the art of the direct; (Cheng) and the
indirect (Ch'i) approach will be victorious.”
My Life’s War: My victory will never be as valuable if I haven’t been a
good example to those who have been my life’s spectators (family, friends,
colleagues, and students). I should not only be someone who could see
the right course of action but is someone who could empower others
through my own example. I am a fan of Mahatma Gandhi’s quote, “My life
is my message.” Indeed, I am the one who define the type of person or
leader that I am and the way I live my life is my message to the rest of
the world around me.Basketball Equivalent: Coach
