Borrowed Thoughts

I've come to realize that nothing I've thought of is original.

Let me explain:

I was born in the Southern part of Africa, where I learnt how to speak my local language plus the Queen's language (English). Learning how to talk was already done by several billion people before I came along so I can't say I was unique in that arena.

About 14 - 15 years later, I learnt how to do complex math, but that was already done by people ahead of my time, plus I never came up with a unique way to find pi - I just learnt how it was done, got tested on that, and made sure I passed.
