So So and So

I am so George Carlin, I am so Carol Burnet. I am so Lenny Bruce, I am so Lucile Ball Arnaz. I have a question for all of you So Everybody Else. Why can't you be So You absolutely unique to yourself"? I would never say, "I am So So and So." I might say, "I aspire to go further than So and So had a chance to go." There is nothing wrong with admiring and being inspired by somebody, but when you assimilate them to the point where you lose your identity, you are stagnating yourself and limiting the potential of your abilities. Don't tell me how similar you are to somebody else. Show me how unique and special you are with your knowledgeable wealth.
