- In conflict, I want to argue, prove myself right or righteous — and win, decisively.
- You can imagine how this demon, untamed, stirs all kinds of potential trouble with my wife or with people in business.
Why it matters: The thin, fragile line between success and failure in marriage/relationships and work is knowing and then taming your personal demons.
