What Have You Accomplished? Who Have You Thanked?

No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you. – Althea Gibson

Thanking those who have helped you is to truly accomplish something.

We do nothing alone.

Everything we create or accomplish comes from what we’ve learned, the materials we have on hand and the people that provide assistance (or inspiration).

Until you thank them (in whatever way is possible), accomplishments are only nearly complete.
