Ryan Holiday Quote
Rommel, for instance, was renowned for his Fronter-führing, his sixth sense for the decisive point in battle. He had an acute ability to feel—even in the heat of the moment—the precise instance when going on the offensive would be most effective. It’s what allowed him to, repeatedly and often unbelievably, snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Where others saw disaster or, at best, simply the normal noise and dust of a battle, Rommel sensed opportunities. It is given to me, he said, to feel where the enemy is weak. And on these feelings he would attack with every iota of his energy. Seizing control of the tempo and never giving it up. Great
