Carl von Clausewitz
“If we then ask what sort of mind is likeliest to display the qualities of military genius, experience and observation will both tell us that it is the inquiring rather than the creative mind, the comprehensive rather than the specialized approach, the calm rather than the excitable head to which in war we would choose to entrust...”
Carl von Clausewitz, On War

Pooja Agnihotri
“Strategy is your war plan. If you go to a war without your strategy, you might not be able to defeat the enemy.”
Pooja Agnihotri, 17 Reasons Why Businesses Fail :Unscrew Yourself From Business Failure
