What is KYKO Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom.

Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.
Lao-Tzu

KYKO, an acronym for know yourself, know others, and adapted from Sun Tzu Art of War assists you to generate and develop winning strategies to make things happen. If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle
Sun Tzu The Art of War

The success and failure of person dealings with others rest on KYKO through profiling yourself and a significant other. If you know yourself and the other you are likely to be successful in every deal. If you know yourself but know not the other or know not yourself but know the other; for every successful deal, there will be a failure. If you know neither yourself nor the other you are likely to fail in every deal.
Bernard A.T. Tan

KYKO yourself and KYKO others and you will be able to size people up and become a conductor of an orchestra and a puppeteer among the puppets. For example, assuming you know you have a big ego and you know the other has a big ego, you will be able to generate strategies by toning down your ego and fanning the other ego to close a deal. If you know that you have a big ego and know not the other has a big ego or otherwise, the chance of closing a deal is 50-50. If you do not know that you have a big ego and the other has a big ego, you are likely to be at loggerhead and screw up a deal.
