The Need To Be Different

 

Ask yourself, "What is possible?" and not, "what is somebody else doing?"

No one gets ahead by copying the status quo or imitating competitors.

It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."... More
