It seems that there are a few blog posts and comments going around on "Creative Imitation" ,
What Is All The Fuss?
So here is the original blog posting at Alex Mandossian's blog that was posted by Jeff Herring (aka. The Internet Article Guy)
And it has to do with one of the quotes that Alex teaches his students:
“Never invent, always improve”
Heck, even we made a comment on the original blog posting, because we are good friends with both Alex and Jeff and it made sense to us. We try to Creatively Imitate when ever or where ever possible.
Jeff also posted the same posting on his own blog here. No big deal.
Now a couple of days later Stu McLaren (aka. The Idea Guy) (we are friends with Stu too, he's Canadian, eh) posted a comment on Alex/Jeff's original blog posting and also created his own blog posting here.
A quote from Stu's blog post:
"Personally, I have mixed feelings regarding the way this is presented to small business owners. On the outside, it sounds like all you have to do is model leaders in your industry and you’ll succeed."
Then Stu got a comment from Diane Eble, who then posted her own blog entry here. A quote from that blog entry:
"There’s quite an interesting discussion going on about “creative imitation”–what it is, and whether it’s good or bad."
So we searched Wikipedia.org for "Creative Imitation," and it couldn't be found. So we searched for Creative and Imitation
For Creativity we get:
"Creativity is a mental process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts , or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. An alternative conception of creativity is that it is simply the act of making something new."
And for Imitation we get:
"Imitation is an advanced behavior whereby an individual observes and replicates another's. The word can be applied in many contexts, ranging from animal training to international politics ."
So what is all the fuss? Didn't we just "Creatively Imitate" everyone?
We would love your comment.
