the fact remains that none of us is an island. We are each of us part of a community, never more so than when we are makers, creating new worlds out of our imaginations. It’s nice to think we can do it alone. It pushes all our ego buttons to consider ourselves the singular genius. But experience shows all makers that every success is a shared success, and every shared success is an investment into the culture that produced the success in the first place. I believe the world is a better place when we’re all pulling on the same rope.
