Meaning
This points to success as something relational, not self-enclosed. The quote reads as a call to lead in a way that makes room for others, because achievement is deeper when it pulls people in rather than keeping them out. It lands in public life, organizing, or leadership, where the measure is not personal advancement alone but whether others can stand with you.
