There are two ways to move forward in life:
1. Focus on your work, maintain high quality, and when its the right time to progress in your career, seek it with clarity and firmness. In addition, take up administrative assignments with a view to serving your institute or company: stay honest, work hard, respect everyone and be fair.
2. Continuously "be ambitious" for higher positions and power and instead of focusing on work and quality, start playing politics, suck up to those in power, bend over backwards, and use your administrative positions to exercise power and authority just for the sake of feeling "powerful".
The first way is classy. You will feel good about yourself as well as gain respect from others.
The second way is shallow. No one respects people with such an attitude. And the minute your term is over, you are put in your place firmly by everyone.
Do you see what I'm saying?
