“Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.”

Simplified Meaning:

When we create something new, we often look at what others have already done and learn from it. For example, a musician starts by learning songs from other musicians before making their own music. This is true for many areas like art, cooking, and even building things. If someone refuses to copy or learn from what others have done, they might not be able to create anything new or useful. By studying and mimicking existing ideas or techniques, people can gather the skills and inspiration needed to innovate. So, to make something valuable, it’s important to look at and learn from what others have done first.
