“Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius.”
–Fulton J. Sheen, American Bishop (1895 – 1979)
Addendum…
“Being jealous of someone else is to waste time that could be spent developing your own genius. Get creative and rise above the temptation of mediocrity.”
–David ‘checkerhead’ Aiken
I got to enjoy being a part of the Creative Mix Ideation Conference this past week and thoroughly enjoyed being around such a great group of amazing people (inventors, architects, online publishers, photographers, interior designers, and music executives to name but a few) who rely on their creativity to make their living. Perhaps one of the biggest things that I took away from the conference was the concept of surrounding yourself with really great people because greatness inspires greatness. Instead of being jealous of someone else try to take the energy that you would have used being jealous to either spark your own genius or support the genius of those around you and be a beacon of inspiration to others.
