Adversaries
1. Adversaries
An
adversary is an opponent. That is, someone who is against your side.
The best way to defend against an adversary is to study everything you can find about adversary.
2. Baseball and Ted Williams
Baseball example: Ted Williams, the last MLB player to hit 0.400, studied opposing pitchers to get any advantage he could get. Here are some quotes from Ted Williams.
God gets you to the plate, but once your there your on your own.
Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.
If you don't think too good, don't think too much.
Hitting is fifty percent above the shoulders.
Yogi Berra:
Baseball is 90 per cent mental. The other half is physical.
3. Military adversaries
Military leaders study the opposing leader. During World War II, British Field Marshall Montgomery kept a photo of German General Erwin Rommel in his tent and studied Rommel's book
Tactics from World War I to get inside the head of his opponent.
4. Military adversaries
Confederate General Robert E. Lee extended the Civil War by 3 years by winning victory after victory against vastly superior forces because, as commandant of West Point, he knew how each of the Union Generals thought and would react in a given situation.
In Biblical terms, how much time do you spend studying the tricks and deceptions used by the devil and those doing his bidding.
5. Military operations
In military operations (e.g., wars), generals will study the opposing generals.
6. Chancellorsville
Example: Though outnumbered by many important military factors, Confederate General Robert E. Lee extended the American Civil War by several years by making brilliant use of his knowledge of the personality of the opposing Union leaders.
7. Rommel
Example: In North Africa during World War II, British general Montgomery studied the books written by the opposing general Erwin Rommel to get a better idea of how his opponent thought and made decisions.
8. Information systems
To defend information systems against attack, you should study adversaries and how they attack, etc.
