"L'innovateur contrefait est extrêmement sûr de lui. Le véritable innovateur est mort de peur."

Simplified Meaning:

When someone pretends to have new ideas, they often act very confident, almost too sure of themselves. On the other hand, a person who genuinely creates something new usually feels very nervous and doubtful. For example, consider a student presenting a project. If the project is copied or not really their own work, the student might seem very calm and confident. They don't have much to worry about because they are not taking a real risk. However, if the project is truly original, the student might be scared because they don't know how others will react, and they have invested a lot of effort and emotion into it. This idea can be applied to our own lives by recognizing that feeling scared when trying something new can be a sign that we are genuinely pushing boundaries and innovating.
