Fight off enemies by becoming more successful.

Fight off enemies by becoming more successful. By Stan Thomas.

If you have a great reputation in your community how can you  protect it from those who wish to  defame  you? Success is hard to get and the last thing you want is for some person to take it from you. If someone attacks you with a  negative statement to make you look bad how do you fight back?    There is a  simple solution to this problem .

 What   you can do is wait  for the attacker to stop attacking . Then go on the  offensive. This works very well when something bad happens to the person who attacked you. This is when  you let them have it.  However there is a better solution to this problem .

Instead of attacking the person back directly or indirectly what you can do is simply become more successful at what you do . You have to be better than the competition. You have to be bigger  than the enemies who wish to destroy you.  If  your reputation is larger than their reputation then their voice does not  matter as much as yours. You have  to defeat your enemies  by becoming more successful at what you do than your enemies are at what they do.

 You have to push yourself out there so far ahead of your enemies that they cannot catch up with you.  By becoming more successful  a large number of people  know about you as a  highly successful person . Your enemies cannot keep up with you because  they are way too small to persuade the public against you. When you grow bigger  your enemies will look  small and petty.

 There is a board game called go. It is different from the game chess . In the game go  the objective is to dominate the board by taking up  the most space  on the game board . In life successful people dominate the public perception of  them . The more  success  a person has and the more well-known  the successful person is  the more  protected this person is from their enemies .

 Have you noticed how  hard it is to criticize a highly successful and popular person and  get away with it. Some people have such a good reputation that you would look like a fool criticizing  this person.  That's The Power of  success and a big reputation. Superstars are more well-known   than critics.  A critic attepts to make a name for  himself  by attacking someone who is highly successful .

 Like the old saying goes , there has never been a statute erected to a critic . So keep on pushing  and keep on striving for higher Heights.  That way you will leave your enemies in the dust .
