Law 9 advocates winning through actions rather than arguments, as arguments create resentment. Demonstrating your point is more effective than explaining it.
Law 9 teaches to win through actions, never through argument. Actions are more powerful and leave a lasting impression than words, which can create resentment.
| Front | Law 9 |
|---|---|
| Back | WIN THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS, NEVER THROUGH ARGUMENT Any momentary triumph you think you have gained through argument is really a Pyrrhic victory: the resentment and ill will you stir up is stronger and lasts longer than any momentary change of opinion. It is much more powerful to get others to agree with you through your actions, without saying a word. Demonstrate, do not explicate. |
