A man can't be too careful in the choice of his enemies. — Oscar Wilde

A man can't be too careful in the choice of his enemies.

Author: Oscar Wilde

Insight: Your enemies shape you as much as your friends do—maybe more. Pick lazy critics who don't understand you, and you'll never improve; pick worthy opponents who challenge your thinking, and you evolve. The real risk isn't having enemies; it's having the wrong kind.
