Finite Resources = Infinite Value

The human mind is limited so we cannot deal with a million moving parts. Sun Tzu's strategy teaches us to focus on a handful of key ingredients: the five elements, the four steps, the nine situations, the five aspects of character, and so on. However, from this limited resource of methods, we can create an infinite number of different moves. How is this possible?

There are only a finite number of atoms in our immediate environment and only a finite number of seconds in each of our lives, but there are an infinite number of ways that we can combine them to create value.

In school and in society, we are taught to think about resources in the wrong way. The amount of resources never matters. Our personal resources are always limited. The only thing that matters is the value that we can create from those resources. That value has always been and will always be, infinite. Though there are innumerable people who deny this fact, it has been proven throughout all of history, especially recent history, and by the most basic math.
