Strength is one of the most important components to be considered while creating a plan. Anyone, who is well aware about his strength and weaknesses; and of his opponent (or friend) is very likely to win (or at least survive) in almost every situation.
It will be best in your interest, neither to underestimate nor to overestimate own strength or of others.
* It is extremely important that we accept reality and act accordingly.
The simple truth is that a stronger man/organization can subdues the weaker one. It’s not about being right or being wrong, but is about being strong. Whatever I said in previous line might sound Machiavellian, but is true.
It is strength that creates safeguards for a person and not his intentions. Someone good will not be able to do any good without having the required strength.
Also, there exists all kinds of strengths. The list includes, but is not restricted to strength of knowledge, monetary strength, muscle strength, spiritual strength, and strength of speech. Every type of strength solves different purposes and their quantity varies from person to person.
Let us have a look on a few thoughts of inspiration by Acharya Chanakya. The straightforward disclaimer is that those are not some happy quotes, but practical ones.

| बलवान हीनेन विग्रहणीयात् | | Strong must only attack the weak. |
| नातप्तलौहो लौहेन सन्धीयते। | Iron never combines without heating. |
| न ज्यायसा समेन वा | | Not to fight with someone equivalent or stronger. |
| गजपादयुद्धिमव बलविद्वगर्ह:| | Fighting a stronger opponent is like confronting army of elephants using infantry. |
