Be cautious of pursuing decisive victories

Decisive victories, whether in war, business, argument, or life, are characterized by clear and overwhelming success. However, focusing solely on achieving decisive victories can lead to unnecessary risks and problems. For instance, in Jiu Jitsu, pursuing a submission victory without considering the context can result in taking unnecessary risks. The same applies to business, where hyper-aggressive tactics aimed at crushing competitors can lead to excessive resource expenditure and damaged relationships. The pursuit of decisive victories often escalates conflicts and causes unnecessary casualties. It is essential to consider the long-term impact, trade-offs, and alternative paths to win-win outcomes that require minimum force and negative impact.
