Use only his character Notes: When someone else implements an idea that you have had, it is not that they are copying. It is just that the idea's time has come. If you don't do it, it will be broadcast by someone else. We are just channels with antennas. Your product is a personal reflection of who you are at that point in time. Human creativity is just an imitation of things that are already there. Create something for yourself for now. It is a diary entry. It is your experience of your life. The end goal is to self improve by creating and evaluating. Are you living up to your ability.
