“If you want to become invaluable in a workplace—in any community—just do the useful things no one else is doing.

Despite the fact I had understood the power of the Master Mind, I had neglected to appropriate and use this power. I had been laboring as a “lone wolf” instead of allying myself with other and superior minds.”
