even without them you would most certainly be “something”, don’;t sell yourself short, without your efforts they would be mentors of nothing.

Our circle of family and friends can spur us on– either through encouragement or lack thereof.

I agree with aletta. You would be something without them, although sometimes it doesn’t feel like it, does it?

You would go on without them but it is good to remind oneself of the contributions others make and to honour the way they have shaped us.
