Many tend to automatically take the other side of an opponent or an adversary's opinions—even when it's clear the rivals are in the right. This means losing before beginning. It's almost impossible to find success without good resources. Doing this in words has less detrimental consequence but doing it in action can bring catastrophe. The obstinate and stubborn often make this mistake when they contradict and quarrel with the truth for misguided personal gain. The wise hold fast to reason instead of passion, either focus on finding the best way first or on improving it later if someone else does. This way they lead their foolish competitors into making and letting their own obstinacy undermine their strength.
