Alexander the Great conquered half the known world by the age of 30. But it wasn’t just him. It was his army, loyal generals like Hephaestion, fearless soldiers, brilliant minds, and mentors like Aristotle who shaped him before he even picked up a sword.
When he reached the edges of India, even Alexander had to stop. His army was exhausted. They refused to move forward. And that’s when it hit me…
Even the greatest can’t walk forever alone.
Reminder to myself: I can push hard. I can work late. I can carry the weight alone, for a while. But no matter how far I go, time is limited, energy burns out, and the silence gets heavier.
A vision, no matter how clear, needs voices behind it. A mission, no matter how big, needs hands around it.
So I remind myself, don’t wait to break. Build your army while you climb. Surround yourself with people who believe, challenge, and carry pieces of this dream.
Because the truth is…
“No man walks on his own story for too long. Even legends need footsteps beside theirs.” — Rengo
Every great story is written with many hands.

A thoughtful reminder that even the greatest achievements require collective effort. No vision thrives alone, teams truly make the difference.
