“Imitating these people, or trying to be these people, does not and should not equal being inspired by these people. Because if we can be inspired by these people and pull some of those qualities, characteristics and best practices that they’ve got, and apply them with a slight tweak to who we are and what we’re trying to do, that’s where the innovation starts.” - Eric Termuende Like many people, you may find yourself wanting the life that someone else may have, and look to imitate or emulate that person to get to where he or she is today.
