¨Make your friends rich, and your enemies rich, and wait to find out which is which.¨
- this is from Avgengers: Age of Ultron movie, spoken by the Ultron character.
This held so true in the business world. I didn´t understand it when I heard it, but I eventually found out little by little. I spent a lot of time helping develop people that I mentored, and people that I didn´t mentor but needed a bit of help. You always see who comes back to pay their respects and return the favor in help. And you also see who quickly forgets the stepping stones you laid out for them. It might sound pointless, but it is priceless in terms of knowing who to dole out your time and resource to in the future.
