strong Shield war, great victory.

your shield war must be strong, in the days of old when there was no guns, no bombs, no missile, rocket or any modern day war equipments. the people fought only with sword and a shield war. battle was a face me i face you issue, it is not like today where you can kill target your opponent from afar. in those days you must come in direct contact with your opponent and the only source of protection was your shield war.
the shield war is a metallic instrument shaped like a circle, used to block or cover your self  from facing the cut and thrust of battle. soldiers would form a shield war and another soldier would run as fast as he can to hit the shield war, if it breaks open then it is not strong enough. the shield war has to be strong as possible to prevent enemies from penetrating. if your shield war is strong enough each of you would form a link in the chain that would be stronger than iron. a soldier one's said one thing is more important than killing. Survival, so you can return home to your families.
this is applicable in anything you want out of life. by believing in your self you are forming a strong shield war, when you have courage even when you fail, determination even when it seems impossible, patience even when it staying too long, perseverance when things are rough, believe even when others don't believe in you. you have built a strong shield war. you will taste victory by the day end. God will make certain of it.
