There are some heights we get to because we got on the shoulders of people.
Wise words I've heard in recent times: we rise by lifting others.
But don't forget that what hard work can get you in 10 years, relationship can get you in 10 minutes.

Dear President of the federal Republic of Nigeria @officialABAT
Three very intelligent kids are representing Nigeria in Italy for the International Mathematics Olympiad.
We hope they bring Gold home. I would love to inform you and wish them well in case the Minister of Education forgot to tell you.
We are rooting for them.
You know what shook me when I was Muslim?
The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.
She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.
And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.
To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.
I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?
Then I realized I was the wife.
I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.
And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”
He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”
That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.
He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.
Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.
Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.
The cross was Him naming the price.
Praise the Lord.
My daughter knows I love her deeply, but I don't hesitate to discipline her when she crosses the line. Last night, after a serious talk-down, I sent her upstairs to her room.
Tell me why this little girl woke up this morning and one of the first things she asked was, “Dad, why didn't you come upstairs to pray and kiss me last night?”
We spent almost ten minutes talking about what happened the previous night, and the girl calmly told me she was wrong, but that I was wrong for not coming upstairs to pray and kiss her.
Once again, I got reminded that we shouldn't be so angry with the people we love that we stop showing them love and care.
“If a man loses his job and stops trying, that's when you worry. If he loses his job and keeps trying, then feed him”
With that, she walked into the kitchen and started cooking.
For the rest of the afternoon, she treated me exactly the same way she always had.
She didn’t pity, she didn’t judge and didn’t give me long speeches about responsibility or finances.
What I got was a hot meal and the quiet confidence of someone who had lived long enough to know that setbacks happen.
My wife had spent months worrying about what her mother would think of me.
Meanwhile, her mother had apparently seen enough of life to understand that a person's value isn't tied to whether they're having a good year.
I found another job a few weeks later, but that's not what stayed with me.
What stayed with me was the fact that on one of the days I felt most like a failure, the person I expected to judge me the hardest didn't judge me at all.
She instead made lunch and somehow, that helped more than anything anyone could have said
@cessadelove1 I love how NLT puts it;
I will be your God throughout your lifetime—until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.”
Thank you Lord for reassuring me that I'm not alone, Blessed be your name Father❤️
i saw a quote that said, “if you don’t clear your misunderstandings in time, they become the reason for permanent distance." and that’s realest shit ever.
