A Roosevelt once said “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Speaking of being unique and not copying others, who would ever have known he was a doctor by looking at the white lab coat he was wearing. At first glance I would have thought Dr. Mel was actually a farmer, or a lumberjack!
Truth in real life. Failing in originality, you will die in obscurity and poverty. Succeed in imitation of the high priced product at a low price and you will live long and prosper. You chose.

He also got his brain off the internet by buying it on eBay.

Lots of people today want to be unique – just like everyone else.

The way it’s worded, if you fail in one, you have succeeded in the other, which I don’t think is what was intended.

We are probably all guilty of a LITTLE hypocrisy.

Great ideas and discoveries are built upon the great ideas and discoveries of those who came before.

Well if you can’t be original, you can at least be honest.

It’s amazing how many commercials tell you to be unique by buying their product.

I tried to get something Profound from a website, but they were all just clones of one another.

The best way to get something new is to misread and then mistype what you thought you read.
(Not that it’s apt to be deep, but original.)
