This world is full of imitation, but imitation should originate from making yourself better and not from greed and envy.
Well, I like your take on this, but these days, some imitation is only based on greed, not even envy, although not all, some will real intentions to learn and be better.
We may have families of lawyers, doctors, and the rest, but most are not just inspired by success stories. Let's assume my dad is a lawyer, and right from my tender age, I have shown an interest in becoming a lawyer too. I can start some self-education at that early age and grow up with it until I go through a high institution, but most people are just bound to try what they see others doing without having to fully learn much about it. Like I said in the first paragraph, it is good to feel inspired or motivated by others' success stories, but trying to imitate them without getting to understand what has put them where they are can be detrimental.
Don't imitate others; do what works for you.Imitate others, because that is what will work best for you... except if you are an artist.

imitate others while you don't have enough ideas and are also never ready, then get recked and throw regrets😆😅 ,because that's what they end up doing.

But there is something wrong with following them fawningly like some will do; you can't say you are following someone when you don't even intend to go that extra mile they took.
