The mocking bird, the winner of “American Idol,” and the carpenter have a common link. They took the ideas of others, copied and learned from them. They added to what they learned and created their own works of art.
We don’t have to be original. We start with the building blocks placed in our path by those before us. We have a choice: we can continue to copy, or we can add our own blocks for the next to follow and learn from.
I have to run. I think I hear my mocking bird outside. I want to hear what he has created for my enjoyment today.
我坐在露台上,欣赏傍晚的夜色。后院鸟儿啁啾,在喂鸟器旁边盘旋。雀儿停在树枝上的一堆蓟上面,离我只有十英尺远。它们已经习惯了我的存在,在我出去呼吸新鲜空气时,它们不再飞走了。我坐着,从窗帘的缝隙里看它们拉扯着蓟。它们的羽毛是红色、紫色和黄色的,十分悦目。
远处一棵树上传来红雀的歌声:勃第,勃第,勃第。后来歌声变了,那是一只椋鸟。接下来,是知更鸟的傍晚之歌。再后来的曲子我就听不出了。
那是一只八哥。他唱了足有半个多小时,声音洪亮,曲调完美。他没有自己的曲子,只会模仿其他鸟儿,把它们的曲子拼凑成一场音乐会,供我欣赏。
这让我想起《美国偶像》,因为继女海瑟的缘故,我迷上了这个节目。选手们通过演唱别人的歌曲来互相竞争,由三人评审团进行评判,现在已经变成四个人。最优秀的选手们到好莱坞进行最后的淘汰赛。每周他们都会面临新的挑战。选手们一个接一个遭到淘汰,直到冠军脱颖而出。
