Angela Duckworth:"个性剽窃"是指模仿他人优秀特质的行为,这是一种高效的学习方式,尤其体现在儿童的模仿学习和日常生活中。研究表明,这种方法可以提高目标实现的效率,例如增加运动量。其有效性可能源于增强参与感和社会互动。虽然存在丧失自我认同的风险,但只要是出于自主选择,仍然是自我表达的一种方式。模仿应注重形式而非内容,就像学习写作技巧一样,借鉴结构而非抄袭内容。 Stephen Dubner:对"个性剽窃"的界限和利弊进行了探讨。他以自身剽窃Angela邮件签名的经历为例,说明了这种行为的复杂性。他认为,好的剽窃和坏的剽窃之间存在界限,这取决于是否获得许可、署名和补偿。不同领域对模仿的接受程度不同,例如写作和音乐。 Dan Radlauer:在音乐创作中,模仿既能限制创造力,也能提供方向和边界。 Whitney Mello:分享了保存"成功文件夹"以保持积极心态的经验。 Angela Duckworth: 'What is it exactly? How far should I take it? And if I start stealing the best parts of someone else’s personality, Do I stop being myself?'<br>Stephen Dubner: 'I have to say, people really noticed my new signature on my work email. Oh, really? Did you get feedback? I got a lot of feedback. And a lot of it was, I think, from the people who knew me well.'<br>Dan Radlauer: 'As a professional composer for media, I’m often asked to copy the feel, tempo, or emotion of an existing piece of music. While this can limit creativity, it also offers boundaries and direction for what musical effect is desired. We all stand on the shoulders of those who came before us. So what better way to learn about an art than by imitating or being inspired by what has succeeded before?'<br>Whitney Mello: 'One of my first jobs out of college, one of my colleagues showed me that in her email inbox, she kept a folder of her wins. And in it, she would save nice things people said to her or accomplishments or things she was proud of. And so when she had a bad day or wanted to quit, she could look at the folder and think about, okay, I’ve done something right.'
