From whichever side I start, I think I am in an old place where others have been before me.

About This Quote

The idea that we are all bound to do things that other people have already done is not entirely true. The past does not always give us ideas on how to act in the future. Even when other people have done similar things before us, it doesn’t mean that we must follow suit. Each individual should find the unique way that they can contribute to a community or a society.

You may notice that many of the old buildings in your town were built by the same people who built them before, yet how they were built and what they look like today is different. That’s because each person decided to employ a different style of building and they started from scratch. In addition, they used their own creative solution for each situation instead of copying what another person did in the past.

In this quote, the writer is saying that if everyone else has been there before you, you should start from an entirely new place, something completely different from what others have done.
