An idea from The Book of Five Rings

“There is timing in everything.” A merchant’s money rises and falls, and so does a warrior’s career. In a fight, you learn the other person’s rhythm and then strike on a beat they don’t expect. Only years of practice let you feel it.

From The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi
