I believe that throughout our lives we mainly have to know our weaknesses and strengths, to develop our capabilities to the maximum. I value self-sufficiency. There are situations where obviously one can stand out in relation to other people, but nevertheless there are situations where they put us more vulnerable, in general I always try to be the best I can but realize that there is strength in unity.
You're on the right track I think and you probably get good results because of it. Well done.
