The Climbing Silver

(Blood relations are out of the scope of this post)
We have many friends whom we care for and are concerned about. We sometimes go beyond our way to help them out.
But how many times do we show the same behavior for our team mates or rather our comrades. If we see; throughout our life, more than friends, our comrades play an important part in our life.
Many a times they take a place of a friend in our life; but can't be the case always.

If taken an example of a workplace; we often find ourselves a part of a team with known/unknown people and a completion of some task depends on our performance.
We help each other to get it done. But sometimes there are situations where you need to sacrifice something for your comrade in order to get a task done. For ex, on a battlefront we have to make the ultimate sacrifice of our life to save our comrades to ensure our victory.

I ponder, if we ask ourselves, what would be the answer to this question "How far would we go for our comrades?"

@Hitesh:When you are considering work environment than nobody is your friend at the first place. People are more professional. You will have initially "hi & hello" kind of relationship. While you are working in team, everyone always keep looking at other team-mate's work - kind of competitive environment.

There are only few who are always ready to step further and help others. Because for them sometime relationship matter more rather than getting credit from the boss. Now other opposite teammate should be very genuine and acknowledge someone's effort- here not necessarily against others or by praising him/her. If that way relationship goes than there is no limit of this help.

Many times this concerning nature people also face problem when comrade are using their helping attitude for their own mean purpose.

@chinmai: If i consider my comrade as my friend then I am bound to go that extra step.
But consider just a comrade...i hence mentioned the situation of a battlefront...You seldom have friends there...it's just your comrades whom you might not even know and for whom you are sacrificing your life


@dishant: If you see the word help..it's mostly falling in your comfort zone....You are not going out of your way or for that matter not making any sacrifice... I wanna know what would it be that makes one sacrifice things for a comrade?
