When I was a kid, I always hated people who opposed my actions/words. I was irritated of the thing that why everyone has to give their opinions on my actions. I never realized that actually I was learning something different from them. I was learning new and different perspective of doing my work and seeing the world. Actually, opponents make us work more perfectly. As I am growing, I am learning the importance of opponents.
In politics, opponents always point out each other’s mistakes. This makes a party more attentive towards their work. Most of the time it seems like, the ruling party work more not for their public but because of the fear of their opponents. Opponents always tell us where we are making mistakes. They do so for their own profit but if we think this in positive way, we surely will improve our work and ourselves.
Opponents make us think out of the box. They actually help us in to be creative. We can see this in businesses specially. We always try to do something different and unique that our competitor has never done. We become more careful in everything we do.
They are beneficial for us till they don’t spread any rumors which affect our business. Otherwise they are the most dangerous for us.
