What Have You Accomplished? Who Have You Thanked?

ByMatthew

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

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

Sure, you can have the thing or the achievement, whatever it may be, but it’s incomplete until you thank those who have helped you.

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.
