When you come to a dead end you don't have to turn back. Break through the wall and create your own way. Walking in someone elses footprints doesn't create new ones, go your own way and leave your own footprints.
We do not need more copycats, we need new ways and new thinking.

I want to be me and no one else, I want to live my life and no one elses life.
I want my own dreams, not yours. I want my own thoughts, not yours.

Even if walking in someone elses footprints is easier than creating your own way, you might be happier walking your own way and not have to think of what other think and says.
