Be a SHARK not a REMORA
Are you doing the creative KILLING? Are YOU the one taking the risks? Hunting the prey (new ideas)? Are you a shark?
OR
Are you latching on to the sharks? Following them around? Picking up their scraps and using them for your own creative subsistence? Are you a remora?
You don't have to be BOLD or BRAVE to be a remora... you only need to latch onto and follow around a shark eating the bits of food from the things they kill... you only need to follow a person around and pick off the bits of ideas and things you want for yourself...
Lots of "artists" or "creative" people are REMORA's... there are very few sharks out there...
What are you? What do you want to be?
Here's a little note from the Wikipedia entry for a Remora
There is controversy whether a remora's diet is primarily leftover fragments, or the feces of the host.
