Summary

This quote suggests that success can be detrimental because it tempts individuals to repeat their past achievements rather than seeking new and innovative paths. When people start imitating their own success, they become stagnant and unproductive, ultimately lacking creativity and growth. In contrast, copying others may bring new perspectives and approaches. Therefore, the quote highlights the importance of embracing change, avoiding complacency, and continually pushing boundaries to avoid stagnation and maintain productivity.

I've always had questions about what it meant to be a protester, to be in the minority. Are the people who are trying to find peace, who are trying to have the Constitution apply to everybody, are they really the radicals? We're not protesting from the outside. We're inside.
