strategizing

To assume that I can even begin to chart a __traight_ path is probably the best way I can take myself __traight_ to the very place I don__ want to go.

No army is comprised of all the same kinds of units or types of troops. There is power in diversity. If you always see only one choice, or use only one option, you will surely lose more than you win.

Always think at least two steps ahead [in everything, with everyone].
