When constructing a building, we lay a foundation that is meant to support the structure that will be built. 

In devising new theories, we utilise established mathematical theorems as a foundation.

In building new software, we utilise a cloud computing infrastructure as the foundation to help us scale our applications.

In everything that we do, we are standing on the shoulders of giants that came before us and moved things along. 

The foundation is our anchor point, something that we can always go back to and build from.

First, establish the foundation.
