The perfect strategy

If you wanted to just read what I think the perfect strategy is for something like trading or poker just skip to the second to last paragraph! I find the term strategy cropping up too often and used falsely and I actually dislike the word more and more these days. If I go back to when I played Warcraft 3 on PC, I was pretty decent at this game but not until my mind was opened by a friend of mine. We ended up making a team together, I was fast on the keyboard and had been playing a while and he was a top half life player who was a great thinker. He showed me that the best strategy is the most flexible strategy, one that is ready to counter whatever your opponent does. Now I always make sure I try to adapt to the situation in everything I try to master now.
