I want to be like him

If you want to be like somebody else, you only will be a joke and a copy-cut.

Lots of things in life are adaptive, in other words - customized to current circumstances, knowledge, history, culture etc. Even the way how we emotionally cope are adaptive, there is no one fixed solution to deal with certain problem. It's important to have a knownledge about life and experience in connecting puzzles together in one correct piece, a piece we call life.

You might say that you want to make the same movie as Godfather. Even though the director before the release was totally convinced that the picture will be a flop. He heard few times in a bathroom how various co-workers chatted how terrible that movie is. As we know nowadays, this film is regarded as a one of the best in the world. Why? Because at the moment of making it was groundbreaking. It didn't imitate other movies, it was made on a different set of rules.

If somebody would do a identical film as Godfather today, then that movie would be a disaster. Everybody would knew that it's a copy of Godfather and that is off-putting.

Same goes for the personality and the "wanting to be somebody". Only when you are aware of your surroundings, understand how it affects you and how you can affect your environment - then you have a chance for a breakthrough in your life, a life that you can label a one of the best lives in the world.
