抄吧，抄吧不是罪

太阳底下并无任何新鲜事，除非在我们还是猴子的时候。

所以，当我们说某些东西是原创的时候可能我们只是还不知道其出处，或者它被更好的改写了。


比如文艺复兴运动，追寻古希腊精神；比如李白，借鉴别的诗人；最明显是的时尚，老是在轮回。

又比如我们的谚语，“天下文章一大抄”。抄袭一本书算抄袭，抄袭很多本书就叫做研究了。

所以在作者看来，就分两样：值得抄的和不值得抄的。而你需要做的就是记录下那些值得你抄的，以备不时之需。

抄，咱们要抄出水平，抄出境界。

咱们要往祖师爷爷身上抄，比如咱们要抄杜尚的生活方式生活哲学，就不仅要深入的了解杜尚，我们更要看是什么影响了杜尚，杜尚喜欢读些什么，做些什么。

读一个作家的作品，看一个演员，听一些歌，他们符合我们的品味，他们是我们想要抄的，那么看一看他们的品味，看一看他们是从何处抄来的那么酷。

建立自己的抄袭树。
选三个最想要抄的人，从这三个人发散出去，抄他们要抄的人。


随时记录下自己的创意，无论是小本子或者是手机软件，创意 & 想法是越记越多的。

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

无需等待，从现在就开始做你的项目吧，正是做项目的过程会让我们更加清楚自己是谁。

假装你自己是某个领域的专家直到你真正成为。

抱怨别人的软件的最好方式就是自己写软件，其实抱怨别人的作品的最好方式也是一样，写出自己的作品。

写你想读的书；
写出你想听的音乐；
做出你想使用的产品；
做出你想看到的项目；


如果你对几个领域都有热情，保持你的热情，他们会给你带来不同的活力。
我想，这就像体力一样，如果你坚持锻炼，反倒体力会越来越好。创造力也一样，你在不同的领域使用，或许他们会变得越来越多。

保持你的兴趣，兴趣只给不拿，暂时别想从兴趣中赚钱和或者成名，你做这些事只是因为他们让你开心。兴趣类似于救赎。

保持自己的日间工作，保持良好的作息习惯，给自己的项目预留时间，使用自己的日历来记录。


那现在干嘛呢？

散个步
建立赃物文件夹
去图书馆
买个笔记本开始用它
给自己做个日历
记日志
把这本书送给别人
开始写博客
小睡一会

以上是读了第二遍的一些感想。
以下部分是读一遍做的一些摘抄。


Just look at the table of contents. you would know this is a very good book.

-Steal like an Artist.

- Don’t wait until you know who you are to get started.
This chapter is quite good, it tells a good way to figure out some of your personalities. It’s just like some way I’m using.
If I love a novelist, I would go to find out what he likes. and then reading his favorite. that’s a good way to kill time and find things you like.

His way is also good, find 3 thinkers, find 3 thinkers above 3 thinkers.

-Write the book you want to read
This chapter is quite inspiring:

        Go make that stuff
Draw the art you want to see,
Start the business you want to run,
Play the music you want to hear,
Write the books you want to read.
Build the products you want to use,
Do the work you want to see done.

- Use your hands
if you record your ideas, they will become more and more……

“When I get busy, i get stupid.”

keep all your passions in your life.

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards.” --Steve Jobs

build two workstations, keep one that can real use your hands, the other one digital

Enjoy your obscurity while it lasts, use it.

-Side Projects and Hobbies are important
It’s so important to have a hobby, a hobby is something creative that’s just for you. you don’t try to make money or get famous off it. you just do it because it makes you happy.
A hobby is something that gives but doesn’t take.


-The Secret: Do good work and share it with people
Do good work: do good work pains. you have to struggle, struggle, boring, struggle, then you can do good work.
share is much easier than the process of doing good work.


-Geography is no longer our master

-Be Nice.

-Be boring.(It’s the only way to get work done.)
Get a wall calendar whole year. break work into daily chunks. instead of just getting work done, your goal is to just fill a box.

-Creativity is subtraction
The way to get over creative block is to simply place some constraints on yourself.
