Big Black Horse and the Cherry Tree

"You should learn all techniques and principles of strategy, then you forget them and let the knowledge flow through you. Follow your natural instincts without debate. Move with the rhythm of any situation and adapt spontaneously. All of nature operates on this principle; only people complicate nature with thought. Do not misunderstand: thought is necessary in its place. You should think long and hard about all things, but at some point it is time to stop thinking and move to action. Take walking for example. Watch the child as it struggles with all the thoughts associated walking, movement, balcne, timing, and so forth. Now consider yourself: walking requires no thought; you simply do it without thinking."
