“If you're watching your competitors, you're unlikely to invent a bunch of stuff on your own.”
— Jeff Bezos

Simplified Meaning:
If you focus too much on what others are doing, you won't come up with your own new ideas. Imagine a student who always looks at their friend's homework to complete their assignments. This student never learns to solve problems on their own because they are just copying someone else's work. Similarly, in business or any creative field, if you spend all your time copying what your rivals do, you miss the chance to create something unique or better. For example, if you're a chef and you only make recipes from other restaurants, you'll never find your own special dish that could set you apart. To truly innovate and stand out, you need to focus on using your own skills and imagination, instead of just following others.
