About 2500 years ago, Sun Tzu was a famous Chinese general. He wrote "The Art of War" and it is still considered an inspired work describing strategy. In the 20th Century it was used by business to help them understand how to be more successful in business.
Obviously, in a war/strategy game like League of Legends, "The Art of War" has some interesting lessons on how to play this game. One story, that I like, which is attributed to Sun Tzu but not in "The Art of War" is famous for the power of discipline.
Sun Tzu was brought before the Emperor Wu, and asked to demonstrate his abilities in war. Sun Tzu demonstrated that he could turn the Emperor's harem into a disciplined army. He divided the harem group into two and asked the Emperor which two women were his favorite. He appointed the Emperor's favorite women as the officers of both groups. Sun Tzu demonstrated how to stand at attention how to turn as a military unit. And asked the two women, the officers, if they could teach the other women. The two women agreed and said that they could. When the harem was in front of the Emperor and asked to stand at attention, the harem, including the officers all began to giggle. Sun Tzu said that it was the duty of the general to insure that his soldiers understood the command. He then asked the harem if they understood what he wanted. They all agreed that they did. However, when he asked them again to stand at attention, they all began to giggle again. He, then, turned to the Emperor and said that if the general was understood but the army still did not carry out the orders, it was the fault of the officers. He then had the two officers executed and appointed two new officers. When he told them to stand at attention again, the harem acted like a military unit and conducted military manuevers like veterans. The lesson was obvious, "Strict discipline builds great armies".
Discipline wins.
