Where To Steal From

<ul><li>School is one thing/education is another. </li><li>Be curious about anything, then go deeper into one thing than anybody else, that’s how you’ll get ahead. </li><li>Google everything from your dreams, problems, solutions, foolish questions.

Get lost in the stacks. </li><li>“Nothing is more important than an unread library” - John Waters</li></ul>

Always Be Learning

In the beginning, obscurity is good as you are unknown, so there is no pressure of performance and no image to maintain in public. GraduallyDo good work and share it with people, wonder at something and invite others to wonder with you.

Be Obscure Or Undiscovered

<ul><li>Start copying as we learn almost everything by copying e.g. Writing by copying alphabets, music by playing scales repeatedly.</li><li>Those who don’t want to imitate anything, produce nothing.</li><li>Figure out about who to copy and how to copy.</li></ul>
