Embrace Influence While Finding Your Unique Path
Influence from predecessors is inevitable, yet originality is crucial to avoid being a mere imitation. Drawing inspiration from influential figures, such as Shakespeare, emphasizes the necessity of creating a distinctive identity. One must acknowledge the humility in recognizing that surpassing a mentor is unlikely; the goal should instead be to interpret and innovate in one's unique style. Distinct elements, like personal design choices, can facilitate this differentiation. It’s vital to respect the originality of others' work while navigating in a different direction to carve out your path.
