What another would have done as well as you, do not do it. What another would have said as well as you, do not say it; what another would have written as well, do not write it. Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself-and thus make yourself indispensable.
It's weird when people come up to me and know stuff about my life. That sort of creeps me out.
It's perseverance that's the key. It's persevering for long enough to achieve your potential.
