“Envy is ignorance. Imitation is suicide.” Spoken by a true genius.
Mr. Emerson know’s what’s up – don’t you think? It’s easy to fall into the temptation of comparing ourselves to others, which can sometimes lead to feeling of jealousy or envy. When you find yourself walking down that path, turn around. Stop. And don’t think “oh, if I could be just like…”. That’s just plain stupid. Or, as Mr. smarty pants (Emerson) says so eloquently, it’s suicide. So do yourself a favor and focus on number one (you!).
