A warrior of the light needs patience and speed at the same time. The two greatest faults of a strategy are: acting too soon, or allowing an opportunity to slip too far away.
In order to avoid this, the warrior deals with each situation as if it were unique, and does not apply formulas, paradigms or the opinions of others.
Caliph Moauiyat once asked Omr Ben Al-Aas what was the secret of his great political skills:
I never became involved in anything, without first studying a retreat; conversely, I have never embarked on something and wanted to abandon it immediately, was his reply.
