If you can’t Beat them Join them

The proverb “If you can’t beat them, join them” suggests that sometimes, it may be more beneficial to work together with an opponent or adopt their methods rather than continuing to fight against them. It acknowledges that there may be situations where we face a formidable opponent or a challenging circumstance that seems impossible to overcome. Instead of continuing to struggle and waste time and resources trying to defeat them, it may be more effective to team up or adopt their successful approach.
