For the love of God, stop shrinking down to make the demoralizing jackasses of the world feel better about themselves. Anyone who has a problem with your ambition and perceived successes is revealing more about their insecurities than anything else. Why should I feel guilty about saying I want to be the best? I WANT TO BE THE BEST. I want to make art the way Jimi Hendrix played guitar; the way Michael Jordan played basketball; the way Toni Morrison writes books. Everyone should want to be the best. Compete with yourself. Do a good job. I love you. Goodnight.
