Robert GreeneKeep your friends for friendship, but work with the skilled and competent
About This Quote
Do you know the difference between a friend and a co-worker? A friend will say or do anything for you, but a co-worker will only do what makes sense and get the job done.

If you’re working with someone who is constantly getting in your way or standing in your way, then you need to find someone else to work with.
