"Your adversary is your advantage" - hard thing to believe
During my younger working years I had many people around me that picked on me. I used to walk in the morning meeting and get picked on for what seemed like an hour by the senior employees.
This 'pick on' Robert went on for three years until I started walking in and picking on everybody else. Amazingly the picking on me stopped. Their job was done.
Looking back the old guys were doing me a favor. They were my adversaries in that situation and improved the quickness of my response time. I no longer had to sit there and formulate a response. The response was almost instantaneous. This ability has served me well. I can respond without seeming to react.
Today's question is:
"Have your adversaries ever done you a favor?"
