I think this quote is awesome. It is about learning however it applies to creativity too because sometimes we think that people will take our ideas. The thing is people will come up with what you may have thought about as an awesome idea but that just means that you didn't take action on your idea straight away. Also even if you do something similar then it is OK because you know what, only YOU can do it YOUR unique way. So be open to learning and let your creative juices flow as no one can take it away from YOU! :)
