So while I might say I am responsible for this or that, I am not so self possessed to not acknowledge that I am nothing without the help and support of others.
Anyone that might ask me about that knows just by the scale of the endeavors that I couldn’t possibly be solely responsible for the projects.
They would understand if I said, “I built this or that”, I was just an active participant in whatever it was.

But it’s no fun extending that easy to comprehend reality to others I guess.
If this is CZ 101, why'd you ask me the other question?

Myself, I appreciate those who did a great job for me, that they seek me out for "chatting" and recommendations, and I seeks them out, when some new opportunity comes up. I'm certain we are conversing about far different scales, but I always consciously use, we, even to those who aren't the greatest helpers or supporters, as long as I didn't encourage them find their calling, somewhere else.
