2. Innovation should break the old thinking mode, break through the shackles of traditional concepts and touch vested interests.
There is a 6-year-old girl who learns to draw with her grandfather. She drew a beautiful red rabbit, a winged flying horse and an egg bigger than a hen. Grandpa criticized her for not painting rabbits red, letting horses grow wings and painting eggs bigger than hens. The little girl was not convinced, and as a result, her painting won the grand prize in the international competition. What the 6-year-old girl draws is not according to common sense, but according to her own imagination. Her paintings give people a unique feeling. The 6-year-old girl broke the shackles of old thinking patterns and traditional ideas, so her innovation brought her a grand prize.
4. Imitation is only a kind of mechanical imitation, and only by "devoting oneself wholeheartedly" can we achieve the effect of "confusing the fake with the real".
There is a little boy in Japan. His handwriting is very good. At the age of ten, he won the calligraphy prize. At that time, people called him a "prodigy". A few years later, a calligrapher came to see the prodigy, and the calligrapher said, "The words written by this child are worthless." Why is this? It turns out that the calligraphy written by this little boy is trying to imitate Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, because he devoted himself wholeheartedly and achieved the effect of confusing the fake with the real. Imitation is only a mechanical activity, and it can't make people progress. As long as you devote yourself wholeheartedly, you can get the effect of confusing the fake with the real, thus losing your personality.
6, innovation is not satisfied with the status quo, strive for better, even beyond the status quo.
7. Once, Chaplin learned that a city held a competition to imitate Chaplin, so he changed his name and took part. As a result, among the six contestants, he, the real Chaplin, ranked first from the bottom. Why is there such a strange phenomenon? Analyze the reason: other contestants are trying to imitate Chaplin's every move, not only the shape, but even the spirit. Chaplin himself is definitely not satisfied with his original self, and he must try to perform better or even surpass himself. Chaplin is not satisfied with his present situation. He broke the original Chaplin in people's minds and began to innovate, so this strange phenomenon appeared.
8. Innovation and imitation are opposites. In our real life, we should not blindly imitate, but constantly innovate, strive for better, and even surpass!
