Our universe is characterized by order and harmony, yet we human beings must constantly struggle to achieve the same characteristics in our relationships. In fact, human beings seem to find it unnatural to cooperate with others. Successful individuals are those who have learned to swim against the current to do the things that others refuse to do. They have learned how to work together for the benefit of the entire group.

Achieving harmony in any relationship—business, personal or professional—requires work. Take comfort in the fact that you’ll accomplish far more working with others than working against them.
