What a better world this would be if we worked together in harmony toward the achievement of our shared goals instead if engaging in petty disputes and turf battles.

When you allow yourself to be dragged into personal conflicts, game playing, arguments about who takes the credit, and disappointments about trivial issues, they only drain your energy and sour your attitude.

Plus you waste valuable time that could be spent on far more important matters.

When you make an effort to understand others’ motivations, you may well discover that your opponents have far more in common with you than you think.

When you cage your ego and look at the situation from the other person’s point if view, you can almost always find a way to work together for your mutual advantage.
