Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics was written in 350 BC. He was a heck of a lot more smarter than I am and does a pretty good describing the virtues.

Picasso was one of the most innovative painters of all time and he is remembered as saying “good artists copy – great artists steal”.

The great ones are comfortable recognizing that a lot of work is done for them already. Its why we read blogs like this. “Stealing” or “Imitating” is a sign of respect.

Innovation is when you mix the knowledge of people who went before you with your own abilities.

There is a time for both innovation and imitation. Do you know the difference?

Yes, you do.
