Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.
Almost all absurdity of conduct arises from the imitation of those whom we cannot resemble.
There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.
When you chase a dream, you learn about yourself. You learn your capabilities and limitations, and the value of hard work and persistence.
Trust yourself. Think for yourself. Act for yourself. Speak for yourself. Be yourself. Imitation is suicide.
The only rules comedy can tolerate are those of taste, and the only limitations those of libel.
Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours.
The important message I heard about working out and what I want to share is that you create your own opportunities and your own limitations.
Adaptability is not imitation. It means power of resistance and assimilation.
