Allow Your Opponent to Save Face
In business, sports or everyday relationships, always allow your opponent to save face.
You won. That should be enough. Bragging is counterproductive.
Winning provides you with the opportunity to show both mercy and humility. You won’t always win, but you can always do what you believe to be right to win or lose.
