When starting a business, innovation is no longer the trend

Steve Jobs was interviewed and asked if he had visited the Xerox PARC Research Center, saw the windows and mouse prototypes, and then went back and developed the Macintosh image interface, which, when "plagiarized", quoted Picasso as saying "well Artists copy, artists steal. " . It should be noted that even "Copy" is still considered a good artist by Picasso.

The rationale behind this is simple, because there is no such thing as "original" in the world. Newton found that gravity, also from the Apple fell to the ground in the process, has been inspired by him. So great artists know how to explore new possibilities from various places of life and from different angles. This is called "steal".

But not everyone starts out as a great artist, just as thought must be trained by weight lifting, and the sense of smell of inspiration in life must take time to brew. So at first, you use a copy to practice. But the focus of "Copy" is not a stroke copy, but in the process, to further understand the original thinking logic, to help you have a more in-depth understanding of the field.

In addition, the process of copying can also make you diligent in the ability to do, so the future when you want to carry out their own ideas, there will be no puny, want to do not come out of the predicament. So I totally agree with Picasso's idea of good artists copy, because only through copy, you have the opportunity to become a truly "steal" great artist.

So you entrepreneurs, especially those who just started, please do not insist on "original", to "different". The difference is rotten, it is rotten, there is no meaning. And the difference is good, it must be a great artist to be able to do. So before that, maybe you should consider being a "good Artist" and start by copying someone else's work.

As for the audience, we are not too harsh on the new creators, perhaps today he is still shameless copy of the works of foreigners, but it is likely that tomorrow, he will realize a set of their own patterns.

Entrepreneurship, but is the continuous learning, continuous improvement process.
