It is normal to feel good, motivated, and inspired when people share their success stories about what they did to achieve success, but what's bad is trying to imitate them because you think you can achieve quick success in the same way. Everybody has what they are good at and what works for them because they have devoted time and years to making themselves better and acquiring the best knowledge, skill, and profession that have made them excel at what they do.

It is good to be self-reliant, study yourself, know what you are good at, and improve yourself in that area. Everyone who is successful in business has sacrificed time and spent years building themselves and their businesses. Anyone who is successful in Bitcoin (crypto) has spent time learning, studying, and acquiring more knowledge about it. keeping themselves updated with revolutions and frequent adjustment to improve themselves and achieve success in Bitcoin investment.

I know of a successful pharmacist in my area who owns a big pharmacy. All of a sudden, he decided to go into politics and contest for a political position because of his friend, who was an ex-president that he could attain a lot of wealth when it was still his tenure. So unfortunate for the pharmacist; he used all his savings, mortgaged his shop, and used all the funds to run his campaign, but luck ran against him as he lost the election. After which, he started from scratch again.

The guy imitated his friend, thinking he could win and acquire more wealth than he had, but he was wrong. He was really doing well in his field; some of his other friends convinced him not to contest because he had no concrete knowledge about politics, but he refused to listen.

I think it's good to do what works best for you and not to imitate others. just my opinion, though.
Everyone is unique. And one that works for others might not work for someone else. That is why before jumping into any decision, one should make prior research first, and know it’s pros and cons so we can derive into a sensible decision. Otherwise, if we keep on imitating on how others have succeeded, we might only fail in the end and realize that what we did are totally out of our context. It’s still best to follow our own path through developing our own skills and capabilities, that way there are high chances we will succeed because we know we are doing our best.
