“Wars are not won by fighting battles; wars are won by choosing battles”
— George S. Patton
Simplified Meaning:
Winning a war isn't just about fighting every fight that comes up. It's more about deciding which fights are worth the effort. For instance, in life, if you want to achieve a big goal, you shouldn’t waste your time and energy on every small problem that comes your way. Imagine you're a student trying to get good grades. Instead of spending hours on every single assignment, you focus on the subjects that matter most to your grade. By choosing wisely, you can save your energy and increase your chances of success. This approach can be applied to many areas in life, like managing a business or running a campaign, where focusing on the important tasks can bring better results.
