Being successful at something is very easy if you follow someone else’s steps. However other people rather be themselves and make it on their own in their unique way. For example, most young musicians try to use the technique of other famous or more experienced musicians. They rather take the easy way instead of trying to become someone of themselves and change the technique into their own and maybe it could be better than the professionals. This happens in almost anything and everywhere not only to musicians but also to businessmen, actors, chefs, and athletes. I'm more related to athletes because i am an athlete. When i started to play sports i admired Ray Lewis, a professional football player, because his technique of tackling was so amazing
You’re too small, you’re not big enough, you’re not fast enough to be the best and stay there, you don’t have what it takes. In today’s football league there’s nothing better like it was to me when Ray Lewis was playing the game. A unique football player to me was somebody that controlled himself like a real man. He was responsible even outside of the football field. He carried himself as a leader, that’s why I like him. He didn’t worry about what others thought and he believed in himself and show others how it was to be great.
