Sir Isaac Newton is best known for his theory of Gravitation and Laws of Motion. But Newton might never have published his work had it not been for Edmond Halley. A well-respected scientist in his own right. Halley visited Newton at Cambridge to discuss a problem he was working on, only to discover that Newton had already solved it.
Halley encouraged Newton to publish his work, and even offered to do it at his own expense. The result was the publication of Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica in 1687, which laid the ground work for the study of mathematics and changed the way people see the world.
Who are you encouraging? And who is encouraging you? As you start a new week, watch out for opportunities in others and in your self. Watch out for little things which could be great thing to someone. Look not at the earth and the dust that blow from it dry surface when the wind disturb it equilibrium. Look at the possibilities, the abundance and the potentials.
