Achievement Quote by Rosalind Wiseman
“THE POWER OF THE GROUP We all want to feel a sense of belonging. This isn’t a character flaw. It’s fundamental to the human experience. Our finest achievements are possible when people come together to work for a common cause. School spirit, the rightful pride we feel in our community, our heritage, our religion, and our families, all come from the value we place on belonging to a group.”

![“Something in me was always watching life from the outside, permanently obsessed with the notion of belonging vs. not-belonging [to a group]. It did not make for a happy childhood, but it was excellent training for a writer.” quote by Barbara Kingsolver](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/887/barbara-kingsolver-200_belonging_something-in-me-was-always-watching-life_2500621.jpg)
