Albert Einstein said that everyone is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life thinking that it’s stupid. Rather than imitate and emulate we can actually create a unique occupation, a unique service to the world, a unique offering that can actually drive the difference in other people’s lives.
I interpret this statement differently. I think trying to do something that is far outside your natural skill set, interests, etc is analogous to the fish climbing the tree.
