About This Quote

Nothing like watching your relatives fight, I always say. Behind every successful person, there are people who are struggling to prove themselves. It is important to take the time to understand what motivates these people to work so hard and do what they do. If you happen to be at a family gathering where someone is fighting, you can learn a lot about that person by watching how the others react.

They may be focused on the actions of their relative or they may be quietly supporting them. You can also see how other members of the family are talking about them and their actions. When you watch them fight, you may learn something new about the person you are watching.
