“Learn to use the knowledge of the past and you will look like a genius, even when you are really just a clever borrower.”
“Absorb what is useful. Discard what is not. Add what is uniquely your own.”
—Bruce Lee

Steve Jobs said Apple was shameless about stealing great ideas. Kobe Bryant was a notorious thief of Michael Jordan. The architecture of U.S. government buildings is a robbery of the styles from Ancient Greece.
Carry out a heist on the wisdom of your heroes. Add in your own perspective and experiences. Multiply by your intuition and idiosyncrasies.
And Voila.
To your creativity.
