Enemies Closer

Everyone knows the classic saying: keep your friends close and your enemies closer. I could not applaud the person who came up with that enough; its so true that sometime we tend to overlook the advice. Indeed, everyone needs that close friend there to talk to and hang out with. But what gets looked over is that we also need to allow ourselves to be aware of our enemies, and not souly for the purpose of knowing when they are coming to stab us in the back (though that is a good reason). Having enemies can definately come with its benefits. They help us to keep our eye focused in the prize. They keep us detemined to finish a task better and faster than they do. Motivation is a key component to a sucessful life, and I don't know anything else that will give you more motivation than being able to outwit the person whom you hate the most. So next time you happen to bump into your arch rival, thank them for being a person of inspiration. Then you can also walk away in a good mood knowing that they will be spending the rest of their day trying to comprehend what you have just said.
