“It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.”
⏤ Oscar Wilde
My understanding
Originality is what makes me stand out. Even if I fail, it’s my own unique effort, and that’s worth more than succeeding by copying someone else.
Success through imitation might bring temporary recognition, but it lacks authenticity.
When I started working on kuotes.co, nobody else saw the value in developing it. But I believed in the idea and created it for myself, and myself only. Whether it succeeds or not, it’s mine. It reflects my vision and passion.
This quote reminds me to value authenticity over approval and to embrace the courage it takes to bring original ideas to life.
