Have you ever achieved something in your life? Something worthwhile? Something that took a lot of hard work to accomplish but you did it? I am sure that everyone reading this has achieved something worthwhile.
It probably could be making it into a band, learning to play the guitar, achieving your degree, getting married etc. I am sure there are millions of other examples I can list here. Now you are probably wondering what does achieving all these things have to do with a turtle on a fence and the answer is ‘Everything!!!’
I remember sometime aback I was reading a book by John Maxwell and he shared this story which I am about to share with you and I hope you get to understand the moral of the story. I will tell the story in my own words.
There was a very successful and rich business man in a certain part of America. Now this man had made it through very hard times to get to where he was at right now and everyone admired him for how successful he was. Any conference or any speaking engagement he went to, he will always be the talk of the town after he had left. Everyone admired him and wanted to be like him.

Now in his office where he worked he had a picture of a turtle on a fence and once you entered his office there was no way that picture could have escaped your eye. Every time people saw the picture they would ask him what was the significance of that picture. He would then look at them and this is what he would say.
“In order for a turtle to make it on to a fence it would mean that someone would have to take the turtle and place him on that fence. There is no way a turtle can make it on to a fence by himself; he needs to get help in order to make it there. Every time I look at that picture it helps me to put things into perspective. I begin to remember that just like that turtle I did not make it to where I am today without the help of other people!!!”
Did you understand the moral of that story? No matter what we have achieved in our life, we need to be grateful for the people who helped us to get to where we are in life. We did not make it on our own. Don’t forget to thank all those people who helped you to reach where you are today.
Just remember there is no such thing as a self made man because NO ONE MAKES IT ALONE!!!
