“It’s hard not to rise to the bait when people are critical of you or your company.”
— Jamie Dimon

Simplified Meaning:
When someone says bad things about you or your business, it's really tough to not get upset or respond angrily. Imagine you are at work, and a co-worker rudely criticizes your project in front of everyone. Your first reaction might be to defend yourself or snap back at them. However, reacting this way can often make the situation worse. Instead, it's better to stay calm and think carefully before replying. This way, you can respond more professionally and keep the peace. For example, if you calmly ask for specific feedback or say, "I appreciate your input, how can we make this better?" you’re showing maturity and control, which can improve the outcome and even gain respect.
