“Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human. Society is something that precedes the individual. Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of society, is either a beast or a god. ” - Aristotle
As Aristotle mentioned years ago, it is imperative and important for any human to be social but what is more important is to "be good and do good". To this effect, I value the feedback that I receive from others a lot and below are some which make me more passionate at what I do everyday.
