Summary
This quote suggests that attempting to both antagonize and influence someone simultaneously is not possible. Antagonizing refers to behaving in a confrontational or offensive manner, while influencing refers to inspiring, persuading, or guiding others. By being antagonistic, we create barriers and resistance, making it difficult to have a positive impact on others. True influence requires a constructive and respectful approach, fostering open dialogue and understanding. Trying to antagonize and influence at the same time would be counterproductive as it pushes people further away rather than drawing them closer for any meaningful change.
