Nobody is self-made.
If someone says it, that’s arrogance or ignorance talking.
What about your customers, readers, or users? Your legal and accounting partners? The people who wrote the stuff you read? The kid in his basement who wrote the app you’re using? The financial system? The internet? The government? Your employees? Your partner and family? That one teacher in 6th grade?
Each of us is one part of a whole, and that whole is what made you. Not you.
The first step in contributing something meaningful to this world we live in is to acknowledge those who’ve made you who you are.
