Intercambia espacio por tiempo: Estrategia de no participación

TRADE SPACE FOR TIME
THE NONENGAGEMENT STRATEGY

Retreat in the face of a strong enemy is a sign not of
weakness but of strength. By resisting the temptation
to respond to an aggressor, you buy yourself
valuable time--time to recover, to think, to gain
perspective. Let your enemies advance; time is
more important than space. By refusing to fight, you
infuriate them and feed their arrogance. They will
soon overextend themselves and start making
mistakes. Time will reveal them as rash and you as
wise. Sometimes you can accomplish most by doing
nothing.
Robert Greene

Six in the fourth place means: The army
retreats. No blame. In face of a superior enemy,
with whom it would be hopeless to engage in
battle, an orderly retreat is the only correct
procedure, because it will save the army from
defeat and disintegration. It is by no means a
sign of courage or strength to insist upon
engaging in a hopeless struggle regardless of
circumstances.
