There is no such thing as a new idea. ! It is impossible. ! We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations.

Every artist is a cannibal every poet is a thief
PONDER
IMMATURE poets imitate;!
!
MATURE poets steal;!
!
BAD poets deface what they take, !
!
and GOOD poets make it into something better, !
!
or at least something di"erent.
WHY?
People who hope to thrive in the Conceptual Age must understand the connection between diverse, and seemingly separate disciplines.
They must know how to link apparently unconnected elements to create something new.
-- Daniel Pink in A Whole New Mind
Creativity is just connecting things.
When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didnt really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. ! Thats because they were able to connect experiences theyve had and new things.!

Non-Examples
It will be better. You will like it since its funnier. This version will have lots of interesting things.
