Booker T. Washington said, " If you want to lift your self up, lift someone else up". I think what he meant by that was if you want to do something have other people try it with you. I have applied this in my life before when i wanted to do soccer and asked my friend to try it with me. Also it has been applied to me in the past when my friends encouraged me to do track. I will apply this in the future if someone is wanting to do something but they aren't sure what to do and i will help them. That's what I think Booker T. Washington meant by that quote.
