Be original

Everyone wants to be an original but I wonder sometimes do everyone knows what being original means? People come out with copy rights because of wanting to be an original. Some got sued for ignoring the copy right issue. Most have forgotten an important part of being an original and that is ‘Ego’. Being original means being having such big ego till some calls it charisma. I give a good example, the late Steve Job; he has so much talent but has an ego so huge that only Atlas would have the strength to carry it. He created a great gadget for telecommunication and engages people working for him and made them sworn to secrecy. His company even sued another company for ‘copying’ and to think that his so called great technology was once copied from another. What sadden me is his talent is now buried with him. His knowledge, his skills all gone with him just like that. I was taught to share my knowledge and skills so I’ll gain more knowledge and sharpen my skills. My legacy will continue even though I’m gone. Something hidden will eventually be forgotten in time. So in generation to come, people will only remember a fragment of a great talent. What makes a man so talented and so into originality in the end lost so much? Ego!
There’s nothing wrong with being original but removed all ego and you won’t go wrong.
