Why We Need Each Other

I try, try, try and fail. Only then will I learn and improve the way to do things.

I go, go, go and trip.  I stand up, brush off my knees, look back at what I tripped over so I know what to look out for in the future. Now I don't have to trip over those things again.

I run faster and faster and faster, then miss my turn and have to go back and try again. But now I know what signs to look for to keep me moving in right direction. 

I go alone, alone, alone until I find someone on the same path and we decide to run together. I  share all my falls, trips and missed turns so they can benefit from my effort. They tell me about all their falls, trips and missed opportunities so I can learn from their experiences.

Then together, we can run faster, straighter and more confidently to the place we want to go.

Simon thank you for writing this post.

It is a very achievable dream of helping each other to our own individual successes. It's just a matter of helping others see how close it really is!

I quoted you in one of my blogs to make my point more concrete and supported. Thank you!

You can see the blog I referenced you in here:

That's the name of the game fail and learn - have a great day on purpose!

This is WHY I do what I do and WHY I surround myself with GREAT people.

Thank you Simon!

It would be nice if we all found a person who was on the same path as us and who had the same open heart and the other person. In a world of competition, some people don't want collaboration. And if you do collaborate, who do you trust? I've been in situations when I don't trust the other person and I'm usually right. It makes the future tougher to trust another person. Any suggestions?

I imagine a world where everyone realized that to get what I want, I have to give to someone else first. Literally. So I give my neighbor a box of Cheerios, he gives his neighbor a box of cereal and so on...I turn around and someone is giving me a box of Cheerios and round it goes. No one would want for anything...We actually do need each other. Happy Birthday Simon!
