"As I said, if you don't stand up for yourself, people aren't going to think that you can stand up for them"

This quote by Sidney Blumenthal is a tip that we need to take responsibility for ourselves and our actions. It is necessary to be assertive and stand up for ourselves in order to be appreciated and taken seriously. If we do not take a stand for ourselves, individuals will not think that we can defend them either. This is since if we can not defend ourselves, it is unlikely that we will have the ability to defend others. It is very important to be confident and take ownership of our decisions and actions. We should want to take dangers and defend what our company believe in. By doing this, we will be seen as strong and efficient in standing up for others.
