Hello guys, here. I know you may be thinking that this topic is just off, that it doesn't seem to make any sense. Well allow me to elaborate. Inspiration for this post actually came from something i read. So here goes.
To attain a certain height of success, one does not only need friends, but also enemies. Your enemies tend to be a driving force, a propeller towards success. to prove this, most people when asked why they want to be successful would say that they want to be comfortable, and also not be mocked by outsiders. These outsiders could be rephrased to enemies.
If we look at this from another perspective, it's your enemies that would try to intimidate you. With this intimidation, you tend to be more courageous. When in need, your enemies won't help. They would give you No as an answer. This would actually help you in becoming independent, and learn how to handle situations on your own. That your boss that layed you off in your company,he is an enemy right? But if you don't get layed off, would you ever start up your own business?? What of the landlord that we all refer to as being wicked. He actually made you uncomfortable in his house, till you got fed up and started building yours.
These are just some illustrations to back up my point. Do not misunderstand this post and then go about making enemies, thinking that by doing so you will be successful. Nah!! I just want to point out that people we regard as enemies have actually helped us grow in ways we may not have known.
