Sir Isaac Newton once said:
If I have seen further it is by standing on ye shoulders of giants.
(Although this appears to come from Bernard of Chartres)
And, in his recent blog post, Seth Godin updates this quote by saying:
If you don’t know who the must-reads in your field are, find out before your customers and competitors do.
You can’t stand on the shoulders of giants if you don’t know who are the giants.
