The greatest thing you can do with anything is to make it better or more useful. If you want to make a movie, make it great. If you want to write a book, write it better than anyone else has written it. If you want to be a singer, sing better than anyone else.

If you want to write a song, then write the best song ever written. No one will ever say that you are not good at what you do, but they will say that your work is better than theirs.
