I’m no chef, but at our Jubilee party, I cooked a fabulous feast for two dozen hungry guests.
It was a barbecue (of course)… of epic proportions.
‘A taste sensation’. Not my words, my adoring diners who loved every morsel.
Now the truth.
In reality, I was the chief heater-upper.
All the hard work had been done by Mrs Hepp.
She designed the menu, bought the food, marinated, flavoured, prepped and portioned everything. All I had to do was evenly cook it.
And I got all the credit.
It happens all the time.
There can be over 5,000 people involved in making a movie. Yet two people are ‘the stars’.
It took 15,000 men (and goodness knows how many women and children) to build Hadrian’s wall. I bet old Hadrian didn’t lift a trowel.
And here’s the big one. It’s estimated that 400,000 people worked on the Apollo missions. Yet when it comes to moonwalks, after Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin you’d be hard-pressed to think of the others*.
I have a challenge for you.
Thank someone who helps you to be your best.

I’d like to know and bet they would too.
Be Brilliant!

The third person to walk on the moon was Charles Conrad – who?
