4 REASONS WHY WE NEED ENEMIES TO SUCCEED

1 An enemy gives us a sense of focus one important ingredient to succeed. Before the Nigeria vs. South Africa match in the African Cup of Nations in the year 2000, the coach of the Super Eagles Johannes Bonfre told Tijani Babangida to play on the left which seemed like a dumb instruction for he was a right footed player but at the end of the match, it was smiles because Tijani scored the two goals that won the match and one of the goals was scored forty-five seconds after the blast of the whistle to begin the game. The reason for the victory was created by the coach focusing on the weakness of one of the defenders that could use his right leg but not his left leg. An enemy can help us focus on where to focus in our lives.

2 An enemy will give to us in one day what our family and friends can't give us in a lifetime. Not one of Evander Holyfield's friends or family could give him one million dollars but it took an enemy in Mike Tyson who offered not one or two million but thirty million dollars just for a fight

3 An enemy helps us to be vigilant. When we are with friends we are comfortable yet when we are in the midst of our enemies we apply the most extreme level of caution a reason why soldiers are most careful when crossing  enemy lines. After being shot nine times outside the home of his grandparents, Fifty-Cent was more vigilant than ever knowing that those that shot  him might come back to finish off the job.

4 An enemy gives us a sense of self importance. To be kicked from behind means that one is out in front and as Plies said in his song' You ain't doing nothing right till you get them hating' An enemy does not attack anybody who is not important. So next time you face an attack the enemy is simply telling you that you are much too important to escape my notice.
