Sometimes, the biggest test of character isn’t how you relate with your boss or subordinates, it’s how you relate with your colleagues.

Colleagues can be your greatest support system or your silent competition.
But here’s something to remember, you’re all on the same team.

You don’t have to dim another person’s light to make yours shine.
You don’t have to outdo someone to prove you’re valuable.
True strength shows up in collaboration, not comparison.

When you help others succeed, you raise the overall value of the environment you share.
You become a bridge, not a barrier.
You become a solution, not a source of tension.
