And I wonder? Is it best to work in bright light in reaching your goals? And therefore being prone of being criticized and openly opposed? Thus slowing you down. Or is it better to work below the radar? Work behind the curtain?
Working behind the curtain has its value. You can plot. Organize and prepare without the opponent suspicion. This brings you an adventage when the project will go full blast in the day light. The opponent will have to play catch up instead of plain opposition. And if you plan well, you would have planned the opponent's opposing arguments and moves before hand. Thus neutralizing its effect before its strength catch up.
There must be another kind of satisfaction also. Seeing that things are going your way and nobody really notice why or care to. To them, it just happens. It give you a clear view as well. Without direct opposition you can devote your energy in proactivity instead of reactivity. this gives you another edge.
But this also gives you the reputation of someone plotting and untrustworthy. That is... if people discover that you are behind all this.
And of course I am not talking about plotting against someone or to do arm and all. So with that in mind. Your reputation would be safe.
I've read somewhere that, when every you evolve or get better at anything. People surrounding you (as surprising as it may sound) will try to subjugate you. Seeing you go forward disturbs them. They see their own leniency and laziness to their own face and its a disturbing thought. So they try to bring you back down to their level.
They don't do that to be bad or mischievous. They barely are aware of what they are doing and why. So why bother unnecessary opposition? This is energy you can allocate somewhere else more effectively.
The idea is not to hide everything to everyone. If you do you miss the point. The idea is to avoid unnecessary criticism.
