The stone strategy – The art of doing nothing

Permanent Change! That’s the order of the day. The smarter option, i.e. waiting and seeing, is being ignored. Blind actionism often triggers disasters, whereas poise and composure can guarantee your survival in the long run. Not doing anything is by far the most successful strategy: be it at the stock exchange, where Warren Buffett does not get rich by nervous gambling, but by waiting intelligently, or in politics, where Angela Merkel waits out – and keeps her position as the German Chancellor, or in communication, where silence is your most powerful weapon.
