［圖說］
孫子說：上兵伐謀。善用兵者，屈人之兵而非戰也，拔人之城而非攻也，必以全爭天下。
又：知彼知己，勝乃不殆；知天知地，勝乃可全。
老子說：全乃天，天乃道，道乃久，歿身不殆。
面對競爭，學習孫子的全思維，
知己知彼，上兵伐謀追求全勝，
寬容倡議，全球合作永續發展，
全體互利，共存共生可長可久。
［說明］
孫子強調「全勝」的概念，最好的策略並非直接衝突，而是透過優秀的謀略和理解來制服對方。他曾說過：「上兵伐謀，善用兵者，屈人之兵而非戰也，拔人之城而非攻也。」這表明最好的戰爭方式是通過智慧來戰勝對方，而非進行直接的武力對抗。此外，孫子還提到：「知彼知己，勝乃不殆；知天知地，勝乃可全。」這強調了情報、準備和適應性在競爭中的重要性。
與此同時，老子則強調「全」的概念，並說：「全乃天，天乃道，道乃久，歿身不殆。」這意味著真正的成功來自於順應自然的法則，這樣的成功才能長久而持續。他主張「無為而治」，這並非指無所作為，而是指順應自然、與萬物和諧共處，才能達到長期的穩定與成功。
在現代的競爭中，無論是在商業、政治還是國際關係中，孫子和老子的智慧都提供了寶貴的指導。孫子告訴我們，成功的關鍵在於謀略、了解自身的優勢和弱點，並且尋求非破壞性的方式來獲勝；而老子則提倡合作、適應力以及長遠的思維。
要實現「真正的勝利」，必須將這兩種觀點相結合。戰略智慧幫助我們最大化利益並最小化衝突，而包容與合作的心態則確保了可持續的成功。在全球相互依存的時代，競爭不應該是摧毀對方，而是共同生存、共同發展。推動合作與互惠創造了一個所有人都能繁榮的世界，從而確保一個既繁榮又持久的未來。
Sun Tzu emphasized the concept of total victory (全勝), where the best strategy is not to engage in direct conflict but to subdue the opponent through superior planning and understanding. He stated: “The highest form of warfare is to outthink the enemy rather than to fight; the best way to capture a city is without direct assault.” This reflects a strategic mindset that seeks to minimize destruction while achieving absolute success. Furthermore, he taught that “Knowing both yourself and your enemy ensures security; understanding both the conditions of nature and the battlefield leads to complete victory.” This underscores the importance of intelligence, preparation, and adaptability in competition.
Laozi, in contrast, emphasized the principle of wholeness and harmony (全). He stated: “Wholeness aligns with the heavens, the heavens follow the Dao, and the Dao endures. Thus, one who follows this path will not perish.” This suggests that true success comes not from force but from aligning with the natural order, ensuring longevity and sustainability.
In modern competition—whether in business, politics, or international relations—both Sun Tzu and Laozi’s wisdom offer valuable lessons. Sun Tzu teaches the necessity of strategic planning, understanding one’s strengths and weaknesses, and seeking non-destructive ways to prevail. Laozi, on the other hand, advocates for cooperation, adaptability, and long-term thinking.
To achieve true victory, one must integrate both perspectives. Strategic intelligence allows us to minimize conflict and maximize gains, while an inclusive and cooperative mindset ensures sustainable success. In an era of global interdependence, competition should not be about destruction but about coexistence. Promoting collaboration and mutual benefit creates a world where all can thrive, ensuring a future that is both prosperous and enduring.
