Summary

This quote suggests that being successful requires challenging conventional wisdom and pushing boundaries. By daring to offend others, it implies that one is willing to question prevailing opinions and take risks. It encourages disruptiveness and uniqueness, with the belief that standing out from the crowd is necessary for achieving success. However, it is crucial to note that this perspective may be controversial, as success can also be achieved through empathy, collaboration, and fostering positive relationships rather than intentionally seeking to offend or alienate others.

The only difference, of course, is in a war it's also raining on the other side of the street and the people who are chummy over there are trying to kill the people who are over here who are chums.
