If I have been able to see farther than others

If I have been able to see farther than others. It was because I stood on the shoulders of giants.

---Sir Isaac Newton

We get proud when we are acquainted and connected to people who knows better and has resources. But don't forget that your level or position is attained because you're associated with people who are a little better than you.  

Are you proud because you're associated with big people?
