A leader leads by example not by force.

Swift as the wind Quiet as the forest Conquer like the fire Steady as the mountain

This is the battle strategy and motto of Japanese feudal lord Takeda Shingen (15211573 A.D.). This came from the Art of War by Chinese strategist and tactician Sun Tzu (Sunzi). You can think of this as a sort of abbreviation to remind officers and troops how to conduct battle. This is literally a word list: Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain. The more expanded meaning is supposed to be... "Swift as wind, quiet as forest, fierce as fire, and immovable as a mountain" "As fast as the wind, as quiet as the forest, as daring as fire, and immovable as the mountain" "Move as swift as a wind, stay as silent as forest, attack as fierce as fire, undefeatable defense like a mountain"

"Move swiftly like the wind, stay silent like the forest, attack fiercely like fire, take tactical position on the mountain"
