Take time to reflect…

               If you have a tough goal that you’re not sure how to reach…
                      …then others likely hold the key. You don’t have to do it all yourself. You don’t need to have all
                      the answers. Partnering with people can make the path clearer and make solutions stronger.

               If you’d rather do it yourself than collaborate with others…
                      …then realize that there are many risks to going it alone. Isolation. Overwork. Independence is
                      great, but a soloist can’t make a symphony.

               If you focus more on your own victories than on shared success…

                      …then recognize that your talents, however great, are only part of the whole. Many heads are
                      often better than one, and the overall result far greater.





               “It’s the group sound that’s important,
               even when you’re playing a solo.”

               Oscar Peterson – Canadian jazz pianist and composer
