To be sure, copying the best of lessons learned by others is the skill of smart observation. If what we seek to experience ourselves is the next progression versus a duplication, then you are so right: that happens when we "tailor it" and "be" <em>our</em> best. You've given us a good talk story topic for our workplaces: <em>How do we "tailor" here, and put our signature on every action we take?</em> Aloha Jim, welcome to Talking Story, and well said!

We can learn from other's successes and failures, build skill by imitating. But I really like the way you've said it here, "A copy of the best is still a copy." If you want to stand out sooner or later you have to bring your own spirit to the party and build something crisp, clear and new. .-= Fred H Schlegel´s last blog ..<a href="http://frogblog.biz/2009/10/01/when-trails-of-science-and-art-cross/" rel="nofollow">When Trails Of Science and Art Cross</a> =-.
