“Jealous Competitors Hamper Our Reputation”
The world is full of nonsense sayings, too often taking at face value. One such throwaway line, “a great offense is the best defense”, might have some validity in terms of sporting events – but, I’m not persuaded that the idea of bringing the fight to one’s opponent (outside the realm of sport), is always an effective strategy. Aggressiveness, often carries with it, the risk of creating unforeseen vulnerabilities which can easily translate into opportunities for one’s opponent.
