What was the most unexpected lesson you've learned in the workplace?

Have you ever had an experience in your professional field, whether that be blue collar white collar, etc, that made you adapt well into your workplace? Was it a deadline, a stressful workweek, or something your co-worker simply said that clicked for you?
