    to paraphrase the old maxim "give a man a fish and you feed one man
    for one day; teach a man how to fish and you will feed his family
    forever": 'teach students how to copy your design and they will know
    how to make your design; teach students how to make any design and
    you will open their doors to creativity.' 

    "How do you handle the occasional student who asks outright if they
    may copy your design?" 

    tell the occasional student "i could let you do that but afterwards
    i'd have to kill you - it's my design and you're here to learn how to
    make your own."

who believes you can do anything as long as you do it with humor.
