Sir Isaac Newton is credited with discovering gravity and developing three laws of motion. Humbly, however, he once said, "If I have seen a little further, it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants."
Now, as Thanksgiving approaches, I think it would be a good idea to remember that we all, as students at this lovely university, have truly been blessed. We did not get here on our own, though, and it bears remembering the people who helped us get to where we are today.
In 1997, Fred Rogers, of "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood," was honored with the Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award. During his acceptance speech, he stressed that he only accomplished the things he did through the support of other people. Mr. Rogers had some touching words of gratitude that are worth considering.
Just a thought before Thanksgiving: "All of us have special ones who have loved us into being." - Fred Rogers
