Value Others

Too often we all take other people for granted.  We fail to honor the benefits that people bring us.

You see it all the time.  People cancel on their friends or stand them up.  They call strangers and ask to "Pick Their Brain", without thinking of what they can do in return.  People seek advice, take up time, and then do not implement actions or ever follow up.... much less say "thank you".

Take the time to value the other.  Praise people in your life who are achieving success.  Let go of judgment and jealousy and be proud of those you know.

ReTweet people (if you are on Twitter), quote folks if you blog, and verbally talk them up around town.  Remind yourself daily that your success can never come in a vacuum.

Everyone wants to feel significant, but we cannot be significant alone in a field. We need others.  Embrace the philosophy of "Cooperative Significance"... and take you initial joy in seeing others find their victories.... yours will come, too!
