“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
— Napoleon Bonaparte

Simplified Meaning:
When someone you don't get along with is making an error, it's best to let them carry on without stopping them. Interrupting might make them realize their mistake and correct it. For instance, if your competitor in a game starts using a bad strategy, letting them continue can give you an advantage because their poor choices might help you win. Similarly, in a work setting, if a rival colleague is handling a project poorly, you might benefit from their errors if you stay quiet. This advice helps us understand that sometimes, stepping back and watching others make mistakes can work in our favor. Letting them fail on their own can lead to better outcomes for you.
