“If you are not frightened, you are not original”
— Jimmy lovine
Simplified Meaning:
When you create something new and different, it can be scary because it means you are doing something no one has done before. Being original often means stepping out of your comfort zone and taking risks. For example, imagine an artist who tries a new style of painting. They might worry that people won’t like it or understand it. This fear shows that they are bringing something new and original into the world. In history, many inventors and pioneers felt nervous when they introduced new ideas, like when the Wright brothers built the first airplane. They faced doubt and fear, but their originality changed the world. If you aren't feeling a bit scared, it might mean you're just sticking to what is safe and known, rather than pushing boundaries. So, the fear is a sign that you’re being truly creative, and overcoming that fear can lead to amazing things.
