You hear a lot in a grocery store.

Click to enlarge: Vintage Lucky Charms box. This is how the General Mills Lucky Charms leprechaun appeared when I was a child.

Say something else in that ear.

"You can make an awful lot of money looking like everyone else. Just ask everyone imitating Apple.

You can make even more money being yourself. Just ask Apple.

You also fall harder and faster alone, but at least you are yourself.[1]"

Just ask Apple? Not today, but eventually.

One of my favorites quotes:

"For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting."
- Gen. George C. Patton

Read those words while listening to this:

Patton End Titles (1970)
 

Patton was one of Dad's favorite movies. I bought it for him on VHS as a Christmas gift and he watched it over and over.
