Summary

This quote suggests that the term 'genre' can become negative because it refers to something that is overly categorized and predictable, losing the original impact and significance it once had. When a genre becomes too rigid and follows strict conventions, it loses its ability to evoke powerful emotions and meaningful experiences in audiences. As genres become more formulaic and repetitive, they can no longer fulfill the potential for innovation and creative expression that they originally possessed.

What I focus on in life is what I get. And if I concentrate on how bad I am or how wrong I am or how inadequate I am, if I concentrate on what I can't do and how there's not enough time in which to do it, isn't that what I get every time? And when I think about how powerful I am, and when I think about what I have left to contribute, and when I think about the difference I can make on this planet, then that's what I get. You see, I recognize that it's not what happens to you; it's what you do about it.
