I am not implying that you shouldn't copy, people will equally tell you sometimes "don't copy be an original" No! You need to copy just a little bit it's a part of the developmental stages to wanna be like another person. In terms of learning a new language we copy the exact same alphabets, you cant make that up yourself likewise in terms of learning a new skill, there will be things that must be copied to actually arrive at your goal.
"But what shouldn't you do?"
Remember this, any time you copy an identity there is a quality drop of the original identity so you're not just doing yourself harm but the person you're trying to imitate. For instance some icons we've never met or seen before all we try to do is walk the way they do, speak the way they do, even react the way they would but guess what' they don't want you to because you would only harm yourself more often than you think. It's bad because somebody didn't like your article or comment on your article and if I may say I will advice to rather stick with an identity that you can blend very well in because what happens to many of us is that we're not conscious of who we copy.
Know what you are good at specifically and not just somebody else's patterns or somebody else's story, the culture you surround yourself with are not yours. We all are conversing on a platform that was designed to get various individualities to relate based on purpose.
Motivation
You just gotta love this category, because whatever your schedule is through out the day you need at least one motivation to get you kicking...its not just about the knowledge but the effects from it. It must have been the walkthrough for that person, or may be a motivation that just quantifies the life of that person so whatever it is you feel you wanna take out you don't know what it cost them....
Check out my good sponsors
When you interact with a person like that you will know that it comes from a place far beyond what you see....they decided to share because of the outcome or impact to their way of life so instead appreciate that peice.
Peotry
These are stories from the heart that can change your perspective in a split second. Its impact can be quite confusing cuz there are much more deeper lines. And I have gone through users who have a way of using poems to pass across their message. Love, hurt, humor all lies within so in case you feel like copying that you might want to know that it wasn't learnt in one day. If its not your craft why force yourself to do it.
Smileys
It was hard to group this category, it feels like what everyone can do but a few people are miles ahead good....you can't read their articles without smiling or laughing out loud. Don't get me wrong, the message that was intended is still being passed across but it's been told in a different way.
Biblical truth
Carries God's message to the people, it may suit in between various articles or a reference point....no other thing is greater than relating to a writer who speaks the truth about the word of God.
Tourist or Journey related
I can think of one person @ARTicLEE its always a ride with him. You can see what they see, feel what they feel, relate with their thoughts just going through an article by them....it draws your attention, most especially the travellers you instantly desire to be there. We only see the surface but not the work they went through to show tons of shots. You cannot claim to be an exploere when you've never been out of your comfort zone.
Speak rightly on all
Some are really special, they fit in all....never a dull moment, they feed us back with life stories, jokes, characters, truths and motivation; such users to name a few @Jane @HappyBoy . When you start building according to somebody else's identity whether it's in the concept you may need to rethink. It goes out to just this confines "what identity to do choose to replicate?".
You may look weird, but you refusal to conform to something you're not all that fervent with is success. Who you envy, who you copy and who you take advantage of can be the start of your downfall.... you have to see beyond that.
Thank you for your time.
The world is void without you in it
Bye for now.
We all have weaknesses and strengths so let us focus on our talents and improve.
