Living the dream
It's not the dazzling voice that makes a singer, or clever stories that make a writer. And it's not piles of money that make a tycoon. All of this helps when we are searching for success. Having talent is a good start to success. However, we all know that there are many amazing singers in the world and many writers who tell amazing, touching and/or chilling tales. These creative souls are living their dream yet many of them fail to become famous, yet they are not bitter or sad.
It's because they have a dream and are willing and aspiring to live it that they would rather move with it and "fail" than succeed in another realm. They are brave souls who live their dream according to their vision and to their purpose. They do not live to the expectations nor do they listen to the opinions of others that want them to change their dream. They are successful because, in their circle, they are outstanding because they not only do what others have done, albeit in a different way but they stand out by doing what no one in their circle has ever done before. In life, being outstanding is good but standing out better. So, to be a leader, read, lead, dream, explore, discover, stand out and succeed.
If you live your dream and focus on what you do well, then maybe you might become famous, if that is your dream. When I was growing up there was a saying that I embraced, and which helps me as I move through life. “It is nice to be famous, but it is hell to be the rage.” For those who have lived or currently live in a spotlight, you know what this saying means. So, live your dream and be outstanding as you live it.

#3 Ken you're aboriginal quote re whales prompted me to look for further ones in a book I have Songs of the Songmen, while i didnt find any, I discovered this native saying. Mordja Amari Boaradja Ngu Borngga Amari Mordja The literal translation is Forgotten I lost dreaming Country I left forgotten lost The authors of the book Harney and Elkin had paraphrased it as He who loses his dreaming is lost. Which to me sums up what Royce is saying.
