“Originality is the one thing which unoriginal minds cannot feel the use of.”

Simplified Meaning:

When someone is truly original, they bring new and unique ideas or creations that haven't been seen before. People who lack creativity or stick to traditional ways often don't understand or appreciate these fresh ideas. They might think that following what is already known is the safe and correct path. For example, imagine an inventor who creates a brand-new type of car that doesn't need any fuel to run. Some people might not see the benefit of this innovation because they're used to regular cars and gasoline. They might even dismiss the invention, saying that it's unnecessary or too strange. In your own life, you can apply this wisdom by remembering that not everyone will always understand or value your unique ideas. However, that doesn't mean your ideas aren't good or important. Keep being creative and believe in the impact you can make, even if others don’t see it right away. This approach can help you stay motivated and proud of your originality.
