My Story of The 36 Stratagems

In 2009, I was walking along Sago Lane in Chinatown and came across a shop selling bamboo strips, the type of old non-paper books used in ancient China. The shopkeeper told me, 'Take a look, young man'. The book has a title 三十六计, which means 36 Stratagems. To verify that this is the right book that people talked about, I asked her, 'Where is 'Escape is the best'?'. She said, 'at the end'. She explained that escape is always the last resort, not the first thing to do when a problem arises. Indeed I was escaping from a problem at that time. I could not come up with an interesting topic for my lect ure to CPA Australia, and I was thinking of turning down that speaking engagement. With that lesson from her,  I bought that bamboo strip book, used it for my speech at CPA Australia dinner, and it was a roaring success. From then on I have been studying and researching this topic 36 Stratagems. The Stratagems have given me tools and ways

Winning with The 36 Stratagems 1

Many people know The 36 Stratagems as tactics to win in war and daily life. What exactly is winning?  Is it about winning over your opponent?  Or winning yourself? Or achieving your goals and aspirations? To me, winning is about one and only thing: Flexibility.  That's right, if you are flexible enough, eventually you will get what you want and want what you get.  The 36 Stratagems is not just a collection of Chinese Wisdom.  In fact, if you read the entire book you'll realize that this book appears to contradict itself and different people interpret the stratagems in different ways. Isn't this book just about one thing: Change? Change is the name of the game in The 36 Stratagems One can be flexible and change his tactics but there is one thing that one cannot change: his Dao or Moral. This stated very clearly in the preface of this book: 六六三十六, 数中有术, 术中有数 ,   The 36 stratagems have many different permutations.  阴阳燮理,机在其中,机不可设,设而不中 Because of n

How this most mis-understood book could help you solve ALL your problems

Watch this 1-minute video at here Mention "36 Stratagems" 三十六计 and most people will say one of the following: Is this another name for the Art of War military classic 孙子兵法 written by Sun Tzu, a 484 BCE military strategist from China? Isn't this a very old book? This must be one of the chapters inside the Art of War book, right? This is Sun Tzu's second book Of course none of the above is true.  The 36 Stratagems is another book, with origins unknown, and no known authors as it was written by many people over several centuries. The last chapter "Escape is the Best" was first mentioned more than 1,000 years ago, but the form we know today is quite recent.  The current format that we know was only officially published in China (under the government's direction) in 1961.  Thus in a way The 36 Stratagems is a relatively new book.  Today most scholars agree that the Thirty-Six Stratagems is likely a collection of idiomatic expressions ta
