Sixteenth century astronomer Galileo Galilei, the first astronomer to use a telescope, changed astronomy forever. He used the telescope to help prove the earth revolved around the sun, a radical theory proposed by 15th century astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus.
Sir Isaac Newton helped shape our understanding of how the sun, planets and moons were held in place by a mysterious force known as gravity. Newton advanced his theory of gravity and motion thanks to Galileo and Copernicus.
Albert Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity helped explain how space and time were linked for objects that are moving at a consistent speed in a straight line, changing forever, our understanding of the universe and its solar systems. James Maxwell, who advanced a Proto-Theory of Relativity, made Einstein’s discovery possible.
Almost every successful person stands on the shoulders of other successful people.
We all need others to help us succeed in life.
Finding successful people to help guide you in life, increases the odds of success and smooths out the journey. Their wisdom and guidance helps you succeed by minimizing mistakes, anticipating problems and overcoming obstacles. Their connections open doors that are otherwise closed. Their success habits can become a template upon which you build your individual success habits.
Successful people are more than happy to help others succeed because they understand one of the biggest secrets to success – climbing on the shoulders of other successful people.
So, find a successful person, whose shoulders you can climb on. It will dramatically increase your chances of success.
