Failing in Originality...

"It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation."- Herman Melville.original-960525__480.jpg

Originality of concept and pure heart as should be seen is hard to come by. Not many know what it means to be seen and known for what they started; they are comfortable for the titles they get for being copycats.

Being original can be hard and that is because it is work. It is easy for anyone to copy someone's work and go about parading it as their ideas and that is "stealing." Imitation looks good from afar, but when you come closer, you will be shocked at the very ugly nature it truly posesses.
Someone recently asked me why I was busy building a platform in this dip and not running after ambassadorship roles like most people in the Crypto space. Well, it is simple, I like to create things and even if I fail, I keep moving because, failing forward is the best way to go.
Being original comes with its hurt and hardship while, being a master of imitation comes easy and the rewards fast. The former is actually what works in the long run, while the latter is what gets you by until you are caught pants down. There is no easy way to put it, imitation is different from originality.

True boss! Nothing beats originality

This goes in line with a popular quote

Life is likened to a question paper with everyone having different questions

Original is tough but copycat is rough
Tough makes uniqueness here

Great post! It happens everyday and in many fields. It's really sad. However, the world gets a little bit better every time a person like you stands against this kind of situations. Greetings.
