Good Artist Copy, Great Artist Steal
This famous quote by Picasso is a basic summary of how everything amazing you have ever seen came to be.
In the race for originality and uniqueness you have to know that no Idea is purely original, every thing you see today is a mash up of different thing
Steemit = Social Media + Blockchain
There is no such thing as a new idea. You have to stop feeling that you have nothing original to offer. Every new piece of art have always been influenced by an existing one.
Now this is very different from blatant copying or simply reproducing someone else work. There are differences between copy a work and creating a mashup or remix
A great artist does the following
Honour
Study
Steals From Many
Credit
Transform
Remix
A great thief does the following
Degrade
Skim
Steals from One
Plagiarize
Imitate
Ripoff

This will enable you to come up with an idea that is totally unique and valuable
Another thing you have to do is create good work and put it where people can see it. You can have the best ideas In the world and die in obscurity. You need a Platform from where you can broadcast your ideas to the world. It will also help you connect with like minded persons and also exposes you to different perspectives
Another Important thing is for you to be a good person. You have to focus on making the right connections and that is not possible if you are not good. You have to surround yourself with people you aspire to be like.
