Unarguably, there is a great difference between an original version of something and its photocopy.
There is a difference between a real product and a fake or a clown product no matter how good the copy product is.
If you doubt this, ask a student to submit a result, he will submit the photocopy because once the original is lost, it becomes irreplaceable.
This shows how important an original copy is.
In this present day, authenticity is one of the criteria that define who you are.
“Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let out true selves be seen"; Brene Brown.
Authenticity makes you discover your true self and walks in alignment with your values and goals.
Authenticity is living your best self every day. It's the process of showing up in face of mediocrity and conformity.
It's the resolution to keep showing up despite all odds to achieve your goals.
You may like copying people and succeed in it, that hasn't made you your best self.
No matter how long you copy someone and be successful, you will definitely lack your authentic self. That means you aren't true to yourself and haven't achieved that for yourself, but for the person, you are copying.
Be an original version of yourself!
Never compromise your authenticity. Be keen on who you are and always work positively.
Same as mine, when it comes to documents, I will use photocopy for applications and transactions.. I don't want to lose the Orig copy 😅 but if it is required, then I need to submit it but make sure to ask it back
