Quote by Seth Godin
The way to work with a bully is to take the ball and go home. First time, every time. When there's no ball, there's no game. Bullies hate that. So they'll either behave so they can play with you or they'll go bully someone else.
Summary
This quote suggests that the best way to deal with bullies is to refuse to engage with them. By "taking the ball and going home," it means removing yourself from the situation and denying the bully the opportunity to exert power over you. This approach demonstrates that you won't tolerate their behavior and that you are unwilling to participate in their games. The quote suggests that by doing so consistently, bullies will either change their behavior to regain your cooperation or move on to find another target.
