About this Quote

This quote by B.B. King motivates us to discover motivation in individuals we admire, but to also stay real to ourselves. He is suggesting that we should take the very best qualities of our idols and integrate them into our own lives, while still preserving our own special identity. This is a crucial reminder that we must never attempt to be another person, however rather utilize the people we appreciate as a source of inspiration and assistance. We ought to make every effort to be the best variation of ourselves, and not attempt to be someone else. By doing this, we can produce our own special design and identity, while still being influenced by the individuals we look up to.
