A Celebration of Original Thinking and Staying True to Yourself

The key insight from the snip is the importance of staying true to oneself, exemplified by the experiences of George Lucas, Jim Henson, Ted Geisel, and Jay Z.

Similarly, Jim Henson encouraged original thinking and creation of new ideas, rather than copying existing ones.
