"You need a strategy, but it must be flexible, it is the instinct that tells us when to change strategy. Both are important but we can't have one without the other."

 

" Il faut avoir une stratégie, mais il faut qu'elle soit souple, c'est l'instinct qui nous dit quand il faut changer de stratégie. Les deux sont importants mais on ne peut pas avoir l'un sans l'autre. "
