It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
– Harry S Truman
I can’t say how many times in my life I’ve found that to be true.

It’s a good quote.
And I don’t mean to take away anything away from what you want people to get from it, but as a Missourian for most of my life, and a history major, I have to say this. There is no period after the “S” in Harry’s name. It’s not an abbreviation. The letter “S”, all on its own, is his middle name.
Most people make this mistake, sometimes even Missourians. There’s a stone monument to Harry there (can’t remember in which city) that gets it wrong, even though they drill it in to us in elementary school how to spell it correctly.
Brandon, thanks for the correction… I saw it written that way and thought it was a typo. I’ve made the correction above. Much appreciated.
