that is why we have a family of doctors, a family of lawyers, imitation to some extent are good but it should be the kind of imitation that inspire you to be better,
This exact scenario has led many to have unfulfilled careers, cause they were led down a particular path, simply cause it was what was expected from them. They could have no interest or passion for those professions, but having a dad/mum or siblings into it and mounting pressure on you to tow the same path would force them down that line.
The OP's opinion is valid and while we can imitate good sides of people, we should never suppress the uniqueness in us.
