“We find comfort among those who agree with us – growth among those who don’t. Frank A.”
Clark

In our workplace, it's easy to stick with colleagues who share our opinions, but it's only when we engage with those who challenge our ideas that we truly learn and grow. For instance, instead of avoiding a coworker with differing views on a project, seek out their perspective to broaden your own understanding and improve the outcome through collaboration.

Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17 ESV

In Proverbs 27:17, we are reminded that iron sharpens iron, meaning that we grow and improve through interactions with others. Engaging with those who have different opinions or perspectives helps us gain wisdom and insight, contributing to our personal and professional development. This aligns with the Stoic pillar of Wisdom, as seeking out growth through challenging interactions leads to greater understanding and improvement.
