Derek Sivers: No Wasted Words
How I Write
Adopting Traits from Mentors and Influences In Your Life
Imagine sharing your personality with someone, adopting their traits and letting them live inside you. That's what the author does with their mentor, Milton. They communicate with their mentors by asking themselves what their mentor would say before contacting them. Sometimes they don't even need to contact them, just imagining their mentor's perspective is enough. The author encourages writing down everything you've learned and sharing your point of view because your personality is a culmination of what you've chosen to adopt. Sharing yourself with the world is filtering the past for the future.
