Always throw the first punch

Always throw the first punch. I think that is the case when you're in a middle school brawl or in a hostel work situation. As a rule, I try to stay as level headed as possible in a stressful situation or in other words use the "don't let them see you sweat" philosophy. But no matter how hard one tries to avoid it, the inevitable fight always comes. So when it does I say throw the first punch. And just like that middle school bully the unworthy opponent is always knocked off guard to your sudden voracity. Then once there head starts to spin, then they are yours for the taking. I find that they start throwing irrational and poorly-timed punches that are easily parried or countered. Business is always about winning. Always throw the first punch!
