Imitation Is Good When You're Trying to Learn a Skill

Don't worry about what other people think. Live your own life. Find your own way. Imitation is good when you use it as modelling when you're trying to learn a skill. You can imitate someone who's much better than you, and this will help you. For something specific, a specific skill, just don't be jealous. When fate hands us a lemon, try to make Lemonade. This is an old idiom in american english - only if we put some water and a little bit of sugar on it. Is it right? It tastes nothing like a lemon with no water, but the idea still stands.
