(Some) people take comfort in the fact that whatever they want to do has been accomplished before. They think, "Great! Someone else has already done this, so it isn't impossible." They are happy to follow a path thats already been set for them.

Others aren't. They gain their motivation from the fact that they are the first (ever) to do this particular thing. They believe it's possible and they're the ones to do it. They don't care if they're ridiculed or mocked while they (currently) fail. They understand that barriers are there to keep the first group out. Not them.

The first group succeed more often than the second.

But the second group have their names in textbooks.
