Most of people try to success in their lives. To achieve success, they have their own role-models who called successful people. In other words, they imitate those people's life-style. I think that it is not useful to become successful person. This is because their behavior just imitated their role-model, they do not have their differences. In addition, Acting being different from others has more scarcity and worthwhile.
First, those who succeeded and became someone's role-model were unique person in their field. Most of them were called eccentric and strange. They does not behavior the same as most of people do. This difference makes them successful. For instance, Steven Jobs, who died last year and was CEO of Apple company, had his characteristic ways in his life. His style stimulates many people and makes them realize the new style and importance of creation. Now, many people imitate his way, not try to make and develop their own characteristics. In this way, they cannot achieve success.
Second, Being different from others has scarcity and more competitive. At first, it is difficult to act differently. Furthermore it makes people lonely and nervous. However, they would end up get credit for their creation and effort. For example, when I was a high school student, I studied some subjects which many friends and teachers did not recommend for an exam. Thus, I was very lonely and I had no advisor. However, I ended up getting good scores in the subjects. I got recognized. Finally, I was a qualified with my exams and became a competitive student.
To sum up, imitating and acting as others do cannot get success in any areas. Instead, it makes people succeed more difficult. Therefore, Becoming unique person is more important and helpful for getting success.
