And the total was greater than the sum of the parts. Great things in business are not done by one person; they are done by a team of people.”

Steve Job’s gave a powerful commencement speech at the University of Stanford few years ago. Here is one part which is to remember “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
