    POPS    The Freakonomics Paradox

     Seth Godin tells us the value of starting something new. More often than not, trying to copy something already existing isn't a good idea. Creating something of your own will probably give you much more value.

     A lot of inspiration for creativity and originality can be found in everyday life. It's a matter of making use of it. Matt Groening did, and look where it got him.

    POPS    Be Original

     Great advice from Carmine Coyote. The problem is, the media and popular culture play up the value of being like someone else. I'll use soccer as an example since it's what I'm most familiar with. Every time a new talent shows up, he's immediately compared to a player from history. Messi is the new Maradona. Nasri the new Zidane. Kaka the new Ronaldinho. The list goes on, and its a prevailing trend that goes past just soccer. With the media being this way, is it any wonder that we try to be like others? My advice: forget about being "the next " and focus on being "the first and only ". That's the best thing you can do.
