my first ambassador said don't worry about people stealing their idea if it's any good everyone dismiss it
we tend to believe things were good in hindsight
some of the most revolutionary people and ideas were revolutionary because they are misunderstood in their time
that if you have to be at some point in your life willing to be misunderstood
and the solitude you can have are two things i think
number one
to not be so attached to it to realize that ultimately you can't predict the outcome just do what you believe follow your heart and if it's true
whatever has happened is meant to be
but the other thing you can do
is to escape into the future
to say to have this we call the vision for a reason you've envisioned something that people don't see it
and say i'm willing to be misunderstood to try to fall this thing and if i believe in enough
eventually
other people might see it
and if you are able to be misunderstood just for a little bit
that's what it feels like
to truly revolutionize something and change something
