Relational Intelligence의 명언
Relationships aren't casual-they're consequential.
No success story is written alone.
Perfect relationships don't need to exist for them to be powerful.
Friendships also develop us as "iron sharpens iron".
The question isn't whether we should categorize our relationships, but whether we can afford not to.
