When You Took the Credit
Your teacher holds up your group's poster and says the design is brilliant — really creative. Everyone looks impressed. The thing is, the design was Priya's idea. She sketched the whole layout; you just coloured it in. But the teacher's looking at you, because you're holding it, and she says, "Did you come up with this?" "Yeah," you say. It's out before you think. Priya is right there. She doesn't say anything, but you see her face change — just slightly. The class is still clapping. You've got the praise. It belongs to someone sitting two seats away.
Would you rather be praised for someone else's idea, or get no praise but know you were honest? Why?
