Some have reportedly attributed this quote to Albert Einstein, but there doesn’t seem to be any proof to back it up. The quote investigator website had some ideas, but no conclusions on where the quote might have come from https://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/04/06/fish-climb/. So we put quotes like this down to anonymous.
Here are 4 lessons we get from this quote:
- 1. UNIQUE-Everyone is unique and has unique talents and abilities
- 2. SPECIALTY-There is something in everyone’s world they are good at
- 3. CONTRIBUTE-Everyone can potentially contribute value to the world
- 4. COMPASSION-We should withhold judgement
What’s your unique contribution?
Was there a time when you were judged unfairly?
CHALLENGE: Do an introspective exercise to discover something of value you offer the world. Then do it for someone else.
