In fashion, you first understand the basic styles and trends. Then, to be novel, you can mix and match different styles in an unexpected way. For example, combining a vintage top with modern, edgy bottoms. You start with the common knowledge of fashion and then break the rules a bit to create a novel look.
When it comes to communication, first we learn the common language rules and social norms of communication. Then, to be novel, we can introduce new topics, use unique expressions or even new forms of communication like using new emojis or creating our own abbreviations in a group chat. We build on the foundation of traditional communication and then add our own novel elements to make it more interesting and unique.
One way is in cooking. First, you learn the traditional recipes, and then you can be novel by adding your own unique ingredients or cooking methods.
One way to apply 'novel and novel' is in our relationships. Instead of doing the same old things with friends or family, we can come up with novel activities. And then, when we do those activities, we can introduce novel elements into them. For instance, if we usually have a picnic, we can make it novel by having it at a very unusual location and then add novel food items that we haven't tried before.
Well, in daily life, confidentiality can be seen when we keep our friends' secrets. For example, if a friend tells you about a personal problem like family issues or relationship troubles, not sharing that with others is maintaining confidentiality. It's about respecting someone's privacy.
One way is in fashion. You can mix different styles that usually have clear boundaries (blurred lines), like wearing a formal blazer with casual jeans, to create a novel look.
We can apply it by being more observant. For example, when we see a new product advertised in a very appealing way, we should look deeper into its features and reviews, just like we should look beyond the initial appearance of the snake.
To apply the moral of kindness, we can start small, like smiling at people we meet, helping an elderly person cross the street, or donating to charities. Just like in the stories where kindness spreads and brings positive changes, we can do the same in our community.
In social activities, like planning a small party. You have 48 hours to send out invitations, buy the necessary items, and set up. Once the 48 hours pass, the party happens as is. This way, it forces you to be efficient and not keep dragging the preparation process. It also gives a sense of urgency and helps in making quick decisions. For example, if you can't find a particular decoration item within the 48 hours, you just go without it. This concept can really help in streamlining various aspects of daily life.
We can use it when inviting friends to a movie night to watch a pulp fiction - style movie. Just say 'Be there or be square, we're having a pulp fiction movie marathon tonight!'
You can start by trying new hobbies. For example, if you always wanted to paint but were afraid of not being good at it, just start. That's taking a risk, and if you do, you'll have a story about your painting journey.
One can start by being true to their own experiences and not getting influenced too much by what others say or the general stories around. For example, if there is a story that says a certain career is the only successful one, but you have a passion for something else, follow your passion.
One way to apply 'time being novel' in daily life is to try new things regularly. For example, take a different route to work. This makes the time of your commute novel as you see new sights and perhaps meet new people.
