精读01- 抄袭可恶
1. 当你是学生的时候,模仿是个有用的工具,能让你发现自己的声音。但是在商业领域,抄袭剽窃就非常可恶了。
2. 抄袭一定会导致失败。问题在于你复制粘贴的时候,跳过了理解。
3. 原创者创造时的很大一部分心血都是无形的。抄袭无法传递想法、理解,对之后的决定也毫无益处。
4. 并且,抄袭者永远在追赶,永远无法超越。
1. When you are a student, this sort of limitation can be a useful tool on the path to discovering your own voice. Unfortunately, copying in the business arena is usually more nefarious.
2. Copying is a formula for failure. The problem is that when you copy and paste, you skip and miss the understanding.
3. So much of the work an original creator puts into something is invisible. The copy delivers no substance, no understanding, and nothing to base future decisions on.
4. Plus, if you are a copycat, you never keep up. You are always in a passive position. You never lead; you always follow.
