Your EnemiesYour enemies, on the other hand, are an untapped gold mine that you must learn to exploit. Note that former hatred would create an opportunity for an emotional reconciliation. A person who has something to prove will move mountains for you.
Whenever you can bury the hatchet with an enemy, make a point of putting him in your service, you destroy an enemy when you make a friend of him. Without enemies around us, we grow lazy. An enemy at our heels sharpens our wits, keeping us focused and alert. It is sometimes better, then, to use enemies as enemies rather than transforming them into friends or allies. Without a worthy opponent, a man or group cannot grow stronger.
Never let the presence of enemies upset or distress you—you are far better off with a declared opponent or two than not knowing where your real enemies lie. The man of power welcomes conflict, using enemies to enhance his reputation as a surefooted fighter who can be relied upon in times of uncertainty.
Know how to use enemies for your own profit. You must learn to grab a sword not by its blade, which would cut you, but by the handle, which allows you to defend yourself. The wise man profits more from his enemies, than a fool from his friends.
