Those who intend on becoming great should love neither themselves nor their own things, but only what is just, whether it happens to be done by themselves or others.

Author: Plato

Insight: The twist: obsessing over who gets credit actually shrinks you. When you're only invested in the right outcome—not your role in it—you become genuinely powerful because nothing can distract you. It's the difference between a manager protecting their turf and one who celebrates wins from anywhere in the team.
