"Never be the smartest person in the room. And if you are, I suggest you find a different room." - Michael Dell
Dell also says, "It's called "networking" in the business world. In business, this is called building a team. It's called family, friends, and community in real life. We are all gifts to each other, and as I've grown as a leader, I've seen again and again that my relationships are where I get the most out of life."
