I’ve always been a bit of a lone wolf. I’ve never been one to put my trust in others, especially friends. I’ve seen too many people get burned by their friends, and I’m not about to be one of them.

I learned this lesson the hard way when I was in college. I had a group of friends who I thought I could trust with anything. But then, one day, they turned on me and betrayed my trust. They spread rumors about me, tried to sabotage my relationships, and even tried to get me kicked out of school.

That experience taught me a valuable lesson: never put too much trust in friends. Friends are often more dangerous than enemies, because they’re the ones who know you best and can hurt you the most.

That’s not to say that you should never have friends. Friends can be valuable allies, but you need to be careful who you choose to be friends with. Choose people who are trustworthy and loyal, and who have your best interests at heart.

And if you do make enemies, don’t be afraid to use them to your advantage. Enemies can be a valuable source of information and power. They can also be a powerful deterrent to others who might try to harm you.

So, if you want to be successful in life, learn how to use both friends and enemies to your advantage. Don’t put too much trust in friends, but don’t be afraid to use them. And don’t underestimate the power of enemies.

Here’s a simple example of how you can apply this law in your own life:

  • If you’re in a business meeting, don’t be afraid to sit next to your competitor. You can learn a lot from them, and they may even be willing to give you some valuable information.
  • If you’re applying for a job, don’t be afraid to reach out to your enemies. They may be able to give you some inside information about the company, or they may even be willing to put in a good word for you.

The bottom line is, don’t be afraid to use both friends and enemies to your advantage. They can both be valuable assets in your quest for success.

Be close to friends and more closer to Enemies
