Growth comes from doing the work. It does not come from copying other people.
When you copy others, you are not creating your own life. You are just repeating what is already out there.
When you copy other people, you are not adding value to your life; you are stealing from your own growth; you are reducing yourself. Because growth happens when you actually do the work, not when you copy other people.
When you copy other people, you are a follower, not a leader. You are not an innovator. You are not living your life. You are living other people’s dreams.
Copying other people is not good for you. According to Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, ‘… copying does more harm to the copier than to the copied. When someone copies you, they are copying a moment in time. They don’t know the thinking that went into getting you to that moment in time, and they won’t know the thinking that’ll help you have a million more moments in time. They’re stuck with what you left behind.’
That is why you should NEVER copy other people. Because copying is not learning. Learning is doing the work, not copying the work.
The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to face yourself?’
