Standing on shoulders.

Daily Thought No. 68

It is arrogant for any of us to suggest we have succeeded solely upon our own merit. All of us warm our hands by fires we did not build and drink from wells we did not dig.

Of course effort will always be a required component of achievement, but the real reason we may be able see or reach farther is because we stand on the shoulders of all those who came before us.

From my home in Almost Heaven,
