Question
Prompt decision-making in the context of 'The Art of War' refers to the ability to quickly assess a situation and make a decision. This is crucial in warfare as it allows one to seize opportunities and gain an advantage over the enemy. Being first in the field, as mentioned in the content, allows one to be prepared and fresh for the fight, while the enemy arrives exhausted. This principle can be applied in various aspects of life, not just warfare. In business, for example, prompt decision-making can mean the difference between seizing a market opportunity or missing it.

So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. Therefore the good fighter will be terrible in his onset, and prompt in his decision. Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted.
