NOTHING IS NEW
I have found that there's always a first time to everything, and a first person too. What is happening now, has happened before. What you are doing or trying to do, has been done before. Life is going in a recycle. History seems to be repeating itself.
All great achievements were once an idea, dependent upon an already made achievement. All inventions of inventors, were and are based on what is already obtainable. Nature had it first.
What we have today, are just an upgraded version of the first discovery. Who we are today, is just a product of many thoughts; for we are shaped by the things we hear, books we read, people we follow, what we see, or simply put, our general life's experiences.
So I ask, what's new?
We're in a competition with ourselves, among ourselves, on a quest of 'who's better'. And I ask, who's the judge?.
It didn't start, nor would end with us, we're moving in a recurring circle, of the never ending life's prank. This is a mysterious dilemma, but there doesn't seem to be any other option left.
To you who is working on an idea, keep it up. To you who is trying to develop your potential or invention, never give up. To you that wants to change the world, ride on. Someone else did it and succeeded, You can too. Don't let anyone talk you down, you are a light, so shine.
But don't be too callous, arrogant, or discriminating, because of your achievement(s), NOTHING'S NEW. What you can do had already been done before by another, and will be done, even better, by yet still another. Stay humble.
