When you think a colleague is a friend

Friendship is a two-way business and is never one way, but if you start overpouring your friendship to someone who doesn't deserve all you get is disappointments and heartbreaks. Whether, it is friendships or relationships the attachments and contributions should come from both sides.

As a corporate worker what I have learned in my experience is I wouldn't say that any colleague would be the same for sure you will meet some valuable people who will stay in your life for long and leave a remark as a friend but then there is another side to it where you will meet not so trustworthy or selfish colleagues who will claim to be your friends

Learn the difference

Never trust anyone blindly, whether it is months, years. You cannot avoid heartbreaks as you are not really expecting but then at least if you are giving to a person who doesn't deserve the heartbreaks would be less. I have been through such strange colleagues or may be the better name is selfish colleagues who only care about themselves and who wouldn't for once think of backstabbing you. Talk less to anyone at the workplace cause you don't really know who they are. at least you will sav the regret of revealing too much of yourself.

Minding your business

Minding your own business goes long way whether its at work place, or anywhere being you and being at your own self can never go wrong at times you will require people but the art of getting things done from people without being dependent on them is the art that needs to be learnt. Always keep plan B as if you only go for one plan you will be left with sadness but if you have a plan B then you can switch easily and you know that you had many options before choosing.
