Law 2 Never Put Too Much Trust in Friends I Robert Greene

Friends are more likely to betray you in haste as they are more prone to envy. However, if you hire a former enemy, they will prove themselves more trustworthy, as they have more to prove. Consequently, you have more to fear from friends than your enemies.

If you have worked well with that person before and they happen to also be a friend then yes. Don't just hire a friend because they're your friend.

[vanallenk]

So true!! Hire an enemy, and they will jump up and try to prove themselves more than a friend. Friends do get spoiled and envious. Still keep yours friends, but beware.

[gussygatlin]

I am extremely cautious about who are my friends... Period!!

This is so true! I have lived this unfortunately. This "friend" that had no job at that time later put my employees against me. It was a nightmare. I only met her in college, i thought I knew what type of person she was. I should have known better.

This could be related to why coworkers are not your friends.

[sofiaalvarez]

Hiring friends is the worst decision I made.

[persephone]

Never involve friends in your personal romantic relationships. You have been warn.

I've been trying to put this to use at work, as I don't put my trust fully into someone even if we've become acquaintances

[kaziquefly]

Exactly! I never do any business with any of my friends. That’s my rule since I was very young. I prefer to stay friends and not enemies when the business doesn’t work out. Trust me, I’ve seen it many times - the best friends opening a business and failing and guess what..? Do you think they are still friends?

He's trying to teach us that we shouldn't get blinded by the trust of others. Pardon my english

[ladyashephd]

Relatives, Friends and people who feel a sense of entitlement will wreck the long term plan. Don't do it!

[byzantinecaptain]

I hired my friend 7 months ago and after I fired him we're no longer friends. But it's actually a good thing. I saw something during the business relationship and after that I couldn't see before

[SwervinStr]

It’s about who you know not what you know

[keelyevans]

That's why I love Buddhism so much. You're over there. Thinking about your own mortality and relativity in comparison to the whole and not at all because you know the whole is separate from you so you can understand the difference between what was meant as God in the Bible and the new project

[robertm.-certifieddaytrade]

I hires the MOST TRUSTWORTHY person I knew, and that was my wife!
Sadly, she BETRAYED me ROYALLY!!

[eyeswideopen]

People are not open to someone different. But anyone can screw the business.. friend or not friends

[not-even-german]

No friends for 10 years now, no issues...

[ME-wcpx]

You are the Shakespeare of our time… you revisit all human behavior aspects that he warned us about…

[gussygatlin]

I won't get into But he's right..!!!!
