Great Persons Think Alike

Steven Grant : “ Every idea is a juxtaposition of existing concepts.”

Wilson Mizner : “ If you steal from one author, it’s plagiarism, if you steal
                       from many, it’s research.”



        Great Persons Think Alike


       When I notice plagiarism
       I do not lose enthusiasm.
       I smile to forgive and forget
       being generous I accept.

      The proverb just to strike
      “ Great persons think alike.”

      I’m influenced by predecessors
      My followers are my successors.
      Yet New ideas are to evoke.
      Edition, submission to invoke.

      Musings roll : Me to dick,
      “ Great persons think alike.”

Truly we get ideas from one another. Same is true in Sports. One is never a champion on their own but they are strengthened by one another, skill upon skill.
