"To copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic."
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Spanish painter
The trouble with this quote is it is absolute, implying that copying others is always necessary and acceptable whereas copying ourselves is not.
I don't like absolutes and this is an example of why.
Excluding very few things, very little I know of is "always" or "never" "everything" or "nothing".
All that said there is value in the concept although I would not draw distinction between copying myself or someone else.
Sooner or later we all have to change so best to make that part of your life from day 1.
