Macro Monday ~ Be Original




It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.  ~Herman Melville

Mr. Herman Melville, best known for being the author of Moby Dick, is also the author of the quote above, one of my favorite quotes of all time. 

Be yourself. Not everyone will love you, maybe not even like you, but those who do will be the ones that matter. 

I linked up with Lisa's Chaos for Macro Monday.
