"Fair fight is overrated. I can lose a fair fight! Give me an unfair fights and the upper hand. I'll take those odds any day. " - Real Truth About Success book
This paragraph caught my eye when I was reading this book. I quickly asked myself why this was not conventional wisdom. Why do we always want a fair fight?
Is it a cultural thing that we want everyone to have the same odds of winning? Maybe not? BUT I do agree that if it is a fight I have to fight then I do not want a fair fight. I want the odds in my favors so much that the obstacle is minuscule.
I want to win the fight. If I can prevent the fight even better. Even odds might place the win in jeopardy.
In order to make the fight in my favor I need to marshall resources in my favor. In my word, resources could be people that support me, tools (weapons) that are useful, and control the location where the fight takes place( I want sun in my opponent's eye).
Today's question is:
"Do you want to win more than it being a fair fight?"
