When you\u2019re weaker, surrender rather than fighting for the sake of honor. This gives you time to build strength and undermine your victor, while you wait for his power to weaken. Surrender to win, and you&#8217;ll win in the end, even if you have to lose a few battles first.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The <strong>Principles<\/strong> of Surrendering to Win<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It may seem counterintuitive, but <strong>surrendering to your opponents can be the best course because it puts you in a position of control<\/strong>. This is how you can surrender to win.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People typically overreact to opponents\u2019 actions, which escalates their problems. Your first instinct will be to respond to aggression with greater aggression. You will <em>not<\/em> want to Surrender to win. You&#8217;ll want to win right now! But your enemy will step up his aggression in turn. If you\u2019re the weaker party, you\u2019ll be decimated.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A wiser and more effective tactic is to surrender, to turn the other cheek. That halts your opponent\u2019s aggression and confuses her while giving you the upper hand. While your opponent is lulled into thinking she\u2019s defeated you, <strong>you now have the space to build your strength, discover your enemy\u2019s weaknesses, and plan revenge<\/strong>.&nbsp;You <em>can<\/em> surrender to win. You just have to be patient.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the surface, you appear compliant, but inwardly you\u2019re standing firm. It requires self-control to play dead long enough to make your opponent think she\u2019s defeated you. If you get up too soon, you\u2019ll ruin the charade and end up suffering.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, when overpowered by an enemy, it\u2019s tempting to run. But eventually, he\u2019ll catch up with you and crush you. Instead, stay close enough to strike when you\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In ancient China, a king, Goujian, lost a battle to the ruler of Wu. Rather than fleeing, he gave the victor his riches and went to work in Wu\u2019s stables, where he could watch and learn how to defeat him in the future. Eventually, he was allowed to return home, and when the kingdom of Wu was undermined by drought and infighting, Goujian attacked and won easily.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Power fluctuates. The person on top today will eventually fall. Surrender often puts you in the best position to benefit when the crash inevitably comes. To surrender to win, you must take the long view.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Example: Surrender to Win<\/strong><br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The German Writer Bertolt Brecht, a communist, fled to the U.S. to work in the film industry when Hitler rose to power. He wrote anticapitalist screenplays, which was fine until the 1950s, when the House Un-American Activities Committee began its Hollywood witch-hunts. Other writers were angry and confrontational when they appeared before the committee, and ended up suffering for it, unable to continue their work.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brecht, however, was polite and deferential, but gave ambiguous answers. Although his English was quite good, he brought an interpreter who was able to confuse the committee about the meaning of his writings, which appeared to vary depending on whether you read them in German or English. After only an hour, the committee dismissed him, thanking him for his cooperation and proclaiming him an example to other witnesses. Brecht was thus free to continue his work. Brecht surrendered to win, although his deference probably looked like a loss in the short term.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By appearing to respect and surrender to the committee\u2019s authority, Brecht made its members feel important while at the same time subtly mocking their ignorance of his work.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When You Shouldn&#8217;t Surrender to Win<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some might argue that there are situations or causes that call for martyrdom rather than surrender. Maybe your enemy won\u2019t quit. Maybe you want to inspire future followers. But you wouldn\u2019t be alive to enjoy the rewards. You\u2019re better off waiting for the tide to turn in your favor, and you\u2019ll be alive to take advantage of it. Generally, if you can&#8217;t win right away, rather than fight to the death, it&#8217;s better to surrender to win.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We often believe that to surrender is to lose.
