So I guess all I can really add is that just because somebody else introduced an idea to you doesn't mean that you are copying them by liking it :).the romgihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146584347497549323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11299833.post-55086722003483423492007-10-12T11:48:00.000-06:002007-10-12T11:48:00.000-06:00One thing I learned at BYU is that there's always ...One thing I learned at BYU is that there's always someone who's better at all the things you do than you are. But that doesn't make anyone and their efforts invalid. Every thing you do has a little "Mika" stamp of uniqeness to it. Dad always points to Picasso's bicycle-parts bull's head sculpture as an example of using something that belongs to someone else that isn't copying. Your response to a book that someone else really liked will be a personal response. And having the ability to see things other people do that would be enjoyable to you also is a talent, not a drawback. Besides, it's kinda hard to find something no one else has before!<BR/><BR/>I don't remember saying the quote attributed to me, so I don't know the context and how valid I would think it is today. <BR/><BR/>And, I hope you don't mind me reading your blog. I got to thinking that I might object if I were in your position. At least with my parent!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
