Left there, these small animals would have eventually died of fright. Once the familiar mother was reintroduced to the room, however, the young monkeys would leap onto the terry cloth, seeking the comfort necessary to allay their fears. #stroking - The monkeys who were provided wire “mothers” or no mother at all—those who never experienced comfort when they reached out—never became accustomed to the room.* - We are meant to reach to another for support.

I simply assembled the discoveries of other men behind whom were centuries of work. Had I worked fifty or ten or even five years before, I would have failed. So it is with every new thing. Progress happens when all the factors that make for it are ready, and then it is inevitable. To teach that a comparatively few men are responsible for the greatest forward steps of mankind is the worst sort of nonsense.”4 - {{tweet https://twitter.com/waitbutwhy/status/1568796993677578241?s=21&t=7MKl2d7aj7YWcONlND86tQ}} - most critical skill in achieving and sustaining success in all key areas of life is a willingness, when afraid, to reach for support. And this relies on our awareness and acceptance of fear.
