There are a million Robert Hernandezes in this world. <\/p>\n

I should know, I\u2019ve been accidentally confused with nearly half of them.<\/p>\n

Some are tattoo artists<\/a> and some are journalists (not to be confused with these Hernandi<\/a>)\u2026 some have financial “issues,” some have children they\u2019ve “forgotten,” some have arrest warrants based on interesting life choices that can pop up in background checks.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been put in awkward situations multiple times because my namesakes make bad decisions. (Ask me about Marisa sometime.)<\/p>\n

I thought I would stand out when I became a professor at a prestigious university. <\/p>\n

That lasted a few months until I got email for Professor Robert Hernandez from another school on campus. (The school actually added me to their faculty listserv!)<\/p>\n

Like everyone, I google myself and I even have a Twitter search for “Robert Hernandez.”<\/p>\n

Dude, some of them are creeps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the most dominate one on Twitter is known for this quote:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s not about having the skill to do something. It’s about having the will, desire & commitment to be your best. -Robert Hernandez”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s an inspirational quote that gets tweeted every hour, every day<\/a> and I have no clue which one of the namesake said it.<\/p>\n

So, I googled.<\/p>\n

And haven\u2019t found anything.<\/p>\n

I did find this site<\/a> that collects quotes from people and makes them Pinterest-style images.<\/p>\n

While the site had a couple from Robert Hernandez, I feel like this one is the most appropriate:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Whoever he is, I do agree with Robert Hernandez\u2019 inspirational quote\u2026 so, I\u2019d like to be credited with this one:<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018It’s not about having the skill to do something. It’s about having the will, desire & commitment to be your best. -Robert Hernandez\u2019 -Robert Hernandez\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
