If you're successful, you didn't get there on your own

Always remember the people who made it happen :)

"If you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody helped you."
(Barack Obama)

I couldn't agree more! I'm always amazed to meet people who don't remember where they came from... 
People who are not truly grateful for the people who work for/with them. 
If you're part of something great - it's because a lot of great people made that happen!
