If all you ever do is copy and steal, you'll never learn how to develop the skills necessary to innovate and create.

That's the theme of my post :-)

I used copy and steal in the same deliberately ironic way they're meant in the famous quote "Good artists copy, great artists steal" - i.e. wrt the creative process of reusing and extending existing ideas to innovate and create new things!
