Nintendo's Switch has become the quickest-selling console ever! A hybrid of a handheld and home console, it's primarily driven by a robust portfolio which includes the likes of Super Mario Odyssey , The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Too many folks think that they achieved their success on their own.
I will be the first to say that much of the success I enjoyed was made possible by the setting I am in - the support I received from my team, the ultimate arbiters of my fate.
Sometimes we are called to do things we cannot do alone. No matter how much talent or skill or passion we have, let us never forget that there will come a moment, when we must rely on the gifts, the skills and the commitment of others.
It has been my experience that when you think you are there to help someone else, chances are they are really there to help you. Our students make the best teachers. Without the help of others, we will never make the journey.
It is a funny thing I have observed about life - mistakes are almost always and inevitably one's own responsibility, but one's successes, triumphs and worthwhile achievements are rarely accomplished without the help of others.
Even someone like Ed Sheeran, Spotify's Top Artist in 2017, wouldn't - and couldn't - be who he is without the army of talented, dedicated people helping him look and sound like the star he is.
Recognizing this truth is the only way to avoid becoming self-delusional. We can end up having a demeanor or spirit that doesn't appreciate or value the collaborative power that success is built on. Don't get into the culture of peacocks...strutting around trying to get the world to look at you. In truth, peacocks strut because they can't fly.
If you really want to fly, you're going to need someone to help you. Be grateful for collaboration. It's a profound component of success.
