We cannot afford to indulge our minds in ideas conceived by other people whose capabilities are different from our own and have their part well cut-out to make their success very easy. But if there are similarities with such people then we need to adapt the ideas offered by others to our basic competencies rather than adopt wholesale and make a mess of ourselves.
In other words, there are fundamental limitations to the imitation of other people’s concept without making the desirable adjustment to suit our own purpose.
Coca-cola and the 7-up soft drinks manufacturers could only hope to do business and make profit in the same market based on the differentiation of a similar product they both offer. Our dream may have such similarity with others but certainly each individual is endowed with distinct reasoning abilities to make that difference.
Your dreams are your private secrets and only similar to others but not the same. If you give out that secret carelessly to others who are smart or envious it could turn sour and hijacked for some desperate gains. No one can fully interpret your dream and perceive what you had in mind. They are stillborn until you give expression to them through the conduit pipes connected to your mind. Should you decide to stifle your own dream by allowing your mind to wander from them to other peoples successful ideas then they remain frozen and dormant till happenstance ignites the fire again or the dreamer dies.
Those who ideas you are admiring should be having a more prosperous presence in the market with the gratuitous advert you inadvertently give their product. So you have become an unsolicited agent or advertiser of an original dream at the expense of whatever you are worth. If you don’t have inspiration to do something, don’t even start or else it would flop; and don’t steal other people’s ideas either and hope to flourish. You don’t have the original concept and therefore cannot implement it successfully.
We can hold on to our dreams only when our aptitudes have proved them to be realizable. And wisdom compels us to shun imitative attitudes that duplicate other people’s effort unnecessarily.
