Original
“Be Original” That’s obviously what motivational speakers will tell you, but you should know that Nothing is Original.
What you should try to understand here is that Nothing comes from the burden of trying to be original. Every idea you have is simply a mash-up of previous things or contents you’ve seen… Let me give you some examples of people who didn’t bother to be original.
1. Pepsi: Those people just decided to make a drink for those without good taste
forgive me, I’m a Coke person, but the point is that, they took ideas from a well known and successful product, and today you have Pepsi doing well in the market. Even Miranda one take style resemble Fanta. Just so you know, Coca-Cola was offered the opportunity to purchase Pepsi-Cola(Now PepsiCo) and declined on those occasions.
2. Taomma: Who doesn’t know Tao and her Comedy Skits. She’s like the trending babe Right now in the industry, but are her content fully Original? The answer is NO. Just looking at her skits, you’ll see some Maraji kind of effect, and obviously you remember Ade and his father who was always slapping him… I’m sure you get my point.
Some other copied stuff
3. Instagram Stories and Snapchat
4. Xiaomi and Apple
5. Sega and Nintendo
6. Indomie and all those messed up noodle products
There’s nothing new under The Sun Ecclesiastes 1: 9
The Original title for this article was supposed to be Original, Nothing is Original. (and even that title isn’t original)
The truth is that, if you want to be Original, then you’re almost going to end up as Nothing.
Nobody is born with a style or voice. We don’t come out of the womb knowing who we are. In the beginning, we learn by pretending to be our heroes. We learn by copying. You all remember how we played house(Mummy and Dad play
that was the beginning of. of self discovery)
Yahji Yamamoto says Start copying what you love, Copy Copy Copy. At the end of the copy, you will find yourself”
Oh, I guess its getting Too long here. I’ll continue in my next blog post.
