Is dependence the goal? No.
Is independence the goal? Not quite.
“All of nature is interdependent. Human life is also
interdependent.
Interdependence is the power of WE.
-‘We can do it.’
-‘We can cooperate!’
-‘We can combine our talents and abilities to create
something great, together!’
Independent people who do not have the maturity to act and
think interdependently may be good individual producers, but they won’t be good
leaders or team players. They’re not coming from the paradigm of
interdependence necessary to succeed in marriage, family, or organizational
realities. Life, by nature, is highly interdependent.
Interdependence is a choice that only independent people can make. Dependent people cannot be interdependent. They don't have the character to do it. They don't own enough of themselves.”

From the book The 7
Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey.
Time Magazine titled
him one of the world’s most influential people…for a reason.
One of my personal favorites. There is a wealth of information in this book!
