Most animals attack along a straight line; the spider weaves a web, adapted to its location and spun in a pattern, whether simple 
or complex. Once the web is woven, the work is done. The spider has no need to hunt; it simply waits for the next fool to fall into the web’s barely visible strands!
Couple this with Patton’s philosophy of command:
“Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity!”
Contrast this with The Ocean’s Tide:
It ebbs and flows so powerfully that no one in its path can escape its pull or move against it. Like the moon, you are the force that sets the tide, which carries everything along in its wake!
What about the Bull?
It is large, its stare is intimidating, and its horns can pierce your flesh. Attacking it and trying to escape it are equally fatal. Instead stand your ground and let the bull charge your cape, giving it nothing to hit, making its horns useless. Get it angry and irritated – the harder and more furiously it charges, the faster it wears itself down. A point will come when you can turn the game around and go to work, carving up the once fearsome beast!
Spider strategy wins, mostly when the fight is hard to lose and tough to continue but time is the key!
