THE LOTUS LANE

A micromanaging boss can make you doubt your own competence — but the pressure that feels like it's crushing you may actually be the friction that sharpens you. Your work and your worth are not the same thing, and one person's red pen can't touch the second one.

“Iron, when polished, gleams; a person, when tempered by hardship, grows in strength and brilliance.”

- Daisaku Ikeda, The New Human Revolution, Vol. 2
