About This Quote
The idea of “getting even” is rooted in the idea of vengeance, which seems to be the opposite of forgiveness. The notion that you will never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him suggests that you will always feel like you are at a disadvantage with this person, whether it is because they are better than you or because you are not better than them.This is probably not what you want to hear, especially if you are trying to advance in your career. But, it is true. As long as you try to get even with this person, your chances at success will be greatly diminished.
