Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
-Abraham Lincoln
The other day, I visited two friends I knew from high school at their office to talk about some business. In one of their office rooms, they had this quote written on a big whiteboard. Mr. Lincoln ain’t bullshittin’ you.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinion, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
-Oscar Wilde
Since junior high (maybe even a little before then), I was frustrated to the highest point of frustration because so many people I knew were basing their opinions on opinions from others. From history to current events to pop culture, it seemed like nobody was thinking for themselves anymore. I’m talking about both students and adults.
Of course it’s hard to have a different opinion than others when everyone is getting the same bias facts. I think that’s one of the main reasons my school experience was soured from junior high on up.

It is better to deserve honors and not have them, than to have them and not deserve them.
-Mark Twain
Too bad you can’t pay your bills with merit.
For every (good) indie artist out there — whether your medium is movies, music, writing, painting, making pretty looking webpages or making yourself look like you can levitate 4 inches off the ground when people look at you from a certain angle — I truly hope that one day the public will recognize your skills. Until then, stay on the grind and don’t give up!
