As you go along your own road in life, you will, if you aim high enough, also meet resistance, for as Robert Kennedy once said, “if there’s nobody in your way, it’s because you’re not going anywhere.” But no matter how tough the opposition may seem, have courage still–and persevere.
– Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, at a commencement address
This quote is similar to the saying, “If you say you have no competitors, that means nobody is stupid enough to want to do what it is you’re trying to do”. If you’re doing something of value, you _will_ meet competitors.
