Greatness isn't for those,
Who gets satisfied merely by seeing their old work
And think 'This is it!'
But instead for those who observe their own work,
And think 'I wonder how I can top this'.
Being a born genius would have been great, life would have been somewhat simpler - maybe, who knows?
But since it is not, we might as well learn and improve ourselves on this journey - the payoff would be much better. Maybe, who knows?
