The news had just broken, and the office was a buzz of excitement. But Michael, the one who didn't get the promotion, felt strangely calm. He’d known this would be a difficult choice for his superiors. He felt a sense of acceptance.

The promotion had gone to his colleague, Susan, but he didn’t resent her. Instead, he felt a surge of pride in the work he had done, the skills he had acquired, the contribution he had made to the team.

He turned to his computer and opened his current project. He felt a sense of renewal, a desire to create. The real reward was the work itself.
