Even if we don't have anything factually new, we all have that one thing unique to us - our perspective.
By Sharan Hegde in his book Zero to Viral
I guess that's the whole point of teaching and also philosophy.
There are no original ideas in the world anymore, just original perspectives.
And in a world where we are constantly consuming things, it's impossible to come up with an original idea.
And it's not a wrong thing. Sometimes making things better is just as revolutionary as coming up with original ideas.
This applies to creating content too. A lot of things I share are what I've learned collectively. I can't trace that back to one particular source.
But the fact is, people want to listen to these original perspectives so that they can develop their own in the process.
Even this Two Paise Club is an amalgamation of Readwise and Shortform.
Nothing revolutionary, just my perspective on the amazing books that already exist.
