"Blowing out someone else’s candle doesn’t make yours any brighter"–unknown

My dad told it to me when I was really young. He said he used it as a senior quote in his yearbook, and I did the same when I graduated High School. I never knew the origin, but it basically is one of my core competencies and a basis of how I conduct myself.

Just wanted to share with all of you.
