We Live in a World of Copycats

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders. But they have never failed to imitate them. --James Baldwin,author

From a book I read (just see see actually), I found this meaningful phrase... the book entitled 'Copycat Marketing 101' (it's a book teaching people to find a way to copycat creating wealth)

The following are some of the content of that book which I didn't discover it before this:

One Thing We're All Good At is Copycatting
Each of us is blessed with certain talents and gifts that make us one-of-a-kind individuals. Some people are great dancers, while others can't tap their feet to the beat. Some of us have a talent for art, while others have trouble drawing a stick figure. Some of us are great athletes, while others can barely walk a straight line without stumbling.
But the one thing each and every one of us is good at - WITHOUT EXCEPTION - is copycatting.

Copycats from the Cradle to the Grave
Copycatting starts the day we are born. We copy the language we speak... the food we eat... the way we wear our hair... they way we walk... they way we dress.
When we enter school, we learn to read and write by copying letters in alphabet.
As we grew older, we learned to drive a car by copycatting, didn't we? The instructor showed us how to check the rearview mirrow...turn on the turn signal... push slightly on the gas pedal... drive the speed limit... and come to a full stop at intersections. The better we were at copying our driving instructor, the easier it was to pass our driver's test.


Before this, I really didn't realise that we are actually copycatting everyday~!
