Bear Grylls Quote
Take a look at one of the greatest inventors to have ever lived, Sir Isaac Newton. In a letter to his great rival Robert Hooke, he wrote that his work on the theory of gravity had only been possible because of the scholarship of those who had gone before him.‘If I have seen a little further,’ he wrote, ‘it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.’I instantly admire him even more for saying that. You see, all great men and women stand on mighty shoulders. And that means you, too. Never forget that.There’s a verse in the Gospel of Matthew that - regardless of your religious beliefs - we would do well to remember when we find our feet getting a little too big for our boots:Use your success to support those around you. Or, even better still, help anyone who wants or needs it.Anyone you possibly can.Now you are really on the path to greatness!Get it?
