 I believe in the specialness of
every person. We all have unique
gifts. However, sometimes it is
hard for an individual to get their
act together. A good role model
can be very helpful. People use
to learn through apprenticeships
and that is like copying a master
until you learn his craft. I copied
Van Cliburn for years until I
developed my own pianistic style.

 I think It would be much more
better to let them understand
ourselves in their style because it
would help them understand much
more better & 'll look a more
friendly gesture to help them
understand us.
So, at the end a little bit
imitation comes in way but It
should never be used as bullying,
ridiculing, Insulting. It should
only be used as way of effective
communication.

 Since language is culturally
mediated, we need to imitate others
to some extent.

 We do not need to imitate
others.but i do find that if you
hang around others(ref.lost)you
begin to pick up certain traits of
theirs. Just as children pick up
what parents do in a family. The
more familiar you become with
people the more likely you are to
pick up certain traits or
phrases...

 We do not have to
immitate others.
However, if there are good things
in someone, imitating can be a good
thing. We are called to be
immitators of Christ.

 Everyone was created individually
and have their own characteristics.
While they say imitation is the
best form of flattery, I disagree.
Everyone needs to be themselves.

 No.. We must not imitate
everything. We imitate good deeds
only, not all things ^^

 No, everyone should try and tend to
their own lives and let the others
take care of theirs.

 I've had a friend who imitated
everything I did and it made me
depressed. Imitation is bad even
though some people say its flattery

 No you dont immitate others that is
the same as making fun and that is
not nice .Do you want people to
make fun of you .If you dont want
it done to you then you dont do it
to anyone else.

 No, because originality is being
destroyed by unoriginal people who
can't think of their own ideas so
they just steal others. Its
sickening how much people copy
others. ORIGINALITY FTW!

 No . Sometimes it can effect others
feelings.

 Several good guidelines come to
mind here. "To thine own self be
true". And "Know thyself".
Imitation is inauthentic, erodes
our ability to imbue trust, and
does not serve either the
individual or others.

 No need to imitate, we should have
our own way of life. In what ever
aspect we should live in our own
style

 NO ! I have never doen this, but I
feel others try and do this to me?
Why I dont know? I have always been
a nice person. But now as you get
older, people know what youre like
so it kinda leaves the doors wide
open for the people who do this. I
will remain my own person, even
though certain people do this. I
think they are maybe trying to do
this to make them selves look
better
