Originality
It is better to fail in originality, than to succeed in imitation. He who has never failed somewhere, that man can not be great. Failure is the true test of greatness. Herman Melville
(via @jack)
Originality must’ve resulted in far more failures than imitation ever would but the thrill of attempting something original, something unique and unknown still makes it all worth it in the end. It is about the journey, not the destination.
