It’s tempting to gloat when you overcome the competition.

Brag a little.

But the boot in.

But that doesn’t achieve much other than make you look like an ass, and potentially make an enemy-for-life.

Better to show magnanimity.

Show forgiveness for past transgressions.

You’ll look like the bigger person, and who knows, maybe the competition reappears later in life in a stronger position.

Better for you if the venom is less.
