Influential scientist Sir Isaac Newton once said: “If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants.”

This phrase was used by Bernard of Chartres and meant that even if you are a dwarf, you are carried higher if you stand on top of the giants' shoulders.

This is an important point to remember, you can leverage on other people’s expertise rather than achieving your goals yourself. In other words, you can achieve your goals quicker if you stand on the shoulders of giants. So how do you find these “giants”?
