If steal Like an Artist was about a book stealing influence from other people, this book is about how to influence others by letting them steal from you.
如果说Steal Like An Artist 这本书是教你如何从别人身上偷师学艺，那么这本Show Your Work 则是教会你如何让别人从你身上偷技能。
We are all terrified of being revealed as amateurs, but in fact, today it is the amateur - the enthusiast who pursues her work in the spirit of love regardless of the potential for fame, money, or career- who often has the advantage over the professional.
我们总是害怕被称为业余爱好者，但是，业余爱好者在今天业余更为纯粹，不功利。
The real gap is between doing nothing and doing something.
专业与否不重要，真正的差异在与做与不做。
书中关于业余爱好者的几点描述
1. Amateurs are not afraid to make mistakes or to look ridiculous in public. They're in love, so they don't hesitate to work that others think of as silly or just plain stupid.
不怕犯错，持续的热情
2. Amateurs might lack formal training, but they are all lifelong learners and make a point of learning in the open, so that others can learn from their failures and successes.
也许爱好者也许缺乏正规的训练，但他们是终身学习者，开放式学习。他人更容从失败和成功中汲取养分。
反思：我还没有成为真正的爱好者
缺乏持续，终身学习的热情，在自己爱好的领域并没有特别有价值的分享。
分享什么？
1. Share what you love and the people who love the same things will find you.
喜欢什么，就分享什么
2. Talk about things you love，your voice will follow.
谈论你热爱的东西，就会找到自己的声音。
3. If you want people to know about what you do and things you care about, you have to share.
