"Copy" but never paste what's not yours!

Competition cannot be avoided in this life, no matter what we do. I admit I tend to compete because I am insecure not for myself, but for my kids.

I grew up poor and I promised myself that I will do my best to provide my kids with a comfortable life so I work smart and hard. I sometimes envy my friends who are now successful and enjoying the fruits of their labor. And I prayed that I'd be the same, one day. If I will grind hinder maybe I will.

I have known some people who do not want to choose the hard option as what a dear friend says but wanted the easier way. For example, here on read, I have seen writers who are struggling to get Rusty's favor despite their good content but a few did it as easy as pie without sweating at all despite copyright violations.

My friend, success is bittersweet if you "copy" the effective methods of others but not "paste" what is not originally yours. Sooner or later the truth will come out. You still have time to turn into a new leaf.

• "Copy" others' inspirations- their friends, families, partners, but never "paste" the fruit of greed, envy, and hatred into your life. They are all sources of destruction. Do not live negatively, aspire to think positively and your life will change for the better.

• "Copy" your father's hard work and your mother's love but never "paste" the blame on anyone because you grew up poor and you wanted to experience all the luxury and material things in the world. You can work for it. Dream and don't stop until you can finally grasp it.

• "Copy" your friend's good work ethic. Do not "paste" lies and dishonesty into your timesheet, your work report, or your projects. Always remember, you provide food for your family through your work. How could you peacefully sleep at night knowing that you are cheating?

• "Copy" a stranger's friendliness, do not "paste" coldness and disrespect towards others. Treat everyone fairly. Just because someone is lower in your rank doesn't mean their worth as humans are lesser than yours. We are all the same in the eyes of God.

I do have a plan to "copy" dear Talecharm's charm so I could bewitch more readers and increase my followers.

I want to "copy" dear Luci's assertiveness not his devilish ways though, well, I guess I could do so! Sorry cousin. I want to be famous too.

Who doesn't want to "copy" sir Unity's intelligent writing? I want to try technical writing too. Maybe I could reach a wider audience.

I would love to "copy" sis Bloghound's brutal honesty yet generosity to wow most of you guys.

But I would never "paste" their content as my own because that is against my values and I would violate read. cash's rules.

I may get Rusty's sweet love but for how long? If he figures out I have "pasted" non-original publication, he might leave me for good. He might be artificial but he does have intelligence.

Be comfortable in your manner of writing- you are unique, original, and special. Copy what successful authors here are doing, and learn from their best practices. Slowly but surely, you will create good content and earn more BCH. But never paste their works as if they are yours. Do not "paste" jealousy into your heart and take the shortcut as a desperate move. It might lead you to your doom.

And I pray that you will reach your dreams one day- to be successful here on read.cash!
