In 2011, entrepreneur and co-founder of the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, Ben Horowitz, wrote an essay entitled “Peacetime CEO/Wartime CEO”. If CEOs took any insight from this now-infamous essay it’s this: the tech industry means war.

Can you pick out which quotes came from the greatest war heroes of our time (tech executives) versus which quotes come from famed military strategist Sun Tzu?

1. “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.”

2. “One mark of a great soldier is that he fights on his own terms or fights not at all.”

3. “I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this.”

4. “Quickness is the essence of the war.”

5. “Stone Age. Bronze Age. Iron Age. We define entire epics of humanity by the technology they use.”

6. “Opportunities multiply as they are seized.”

7. “We are currently not planning on conquering the world.”

8. “I believe in benevolent dictatorship provided I am the dictator.”

9. “Never venture, never win!”

10. “You are TOO DAMN SLOW. You are a bunch of DUMB DOLPHINS and…DUMB DOLPHINS get caught in nets and eaten by sharks. SO STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE EMBARRASSING ME.”
