A multimillionaire once told me that in order to be successful you don't need to innovate or create something new. You can "emulate" what others do, just do it better.

As an extension of that... Kevin Spacey, in one of my favorite movies ever(Swimming With Sharks) paraphrased and expanded upon Winston Churchill.
You think you know it all, don't you? You're 25 years old. You're a baby. You don't know shit. Look, I can appreciate this. I was young too. I felt just like you. Hated authority. Hated all my bosses, thought they were full of shit. Look, it's like they say. 'If you're not a rebel by the age of 20, you got no heart, but if you haven't turned establishment by 30, you've got no brains!' Because there are no storybook romances, no fairytale endings. So before you run out and change the world, ask yourself - What do you really want?
One of my other personal favorites was on the back of "the best of the worse of Type O Negative". Who originally said it escapes me now, but it goes like this:
Its better to be hated for who you are than loved who who you are not.
It was a quote and I can't remember who it was at this moment but it goes on to read:
"My mother was always on me about making sure I had something to fall back on incase I failed. Making sure that I learned something else to keep me afloat if I didn't make it at this. I thought to myself, "Fuck that, that's just coping out. If I don't do this 100%, then I have failed already. I either have to be in it to win or get out alltogether." "
"You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world. "
"Our generation has had no Great Depression, no Great War. Our war is a spiritual war. Our depression is our lives. "
