/// *** If it is advantageous, move; if it is not advantageous, stop. ***///
The above quote is pretty obvious.

Regardless of the Ruler and the CEO emotional state, he knows when it is advantageous to deploy the proper selection of the fire attack and when it is not advantageous to deploy any fire attacks.

As long as the advantage is on your side, press on. When the advantage shifts to your opponent, stop and consolidate what you have until the situation dictates that it is advantageous to move again.

The supreme general knows when to move and implement the "fire" attack and when not to move and implement the "fire" attack.

Sun Tzu said, "If it is advantageous, move; if it is not advantageous, stop."

The general uses her wisdom and calculations to make the decisions in moving the army. She also uses her wisdom and calculations to make the decisions to halt the movement the army.

Do not pretend an advantage exists simply to battle out of some self-ineterest or to settle an old score. The advantage must be clear to all involved in the fight. Everyone must understand how winning this conflict will proffer a more advantageous position.

I try not to engage in fruitless battles. I find it hard not to when I feel like I am being goaded. A cool head generally carries the day in most of these events.

If I am to mobilize I need to know why I am moving, for what reasons I am moving and of course the potential risks and benefits of action or inaction

a general does not wast his time time and energy are prime elements in warfare he respects this when there is advantage he sees it and moves when there is no advantage he sees it and does not move.
