"几乎所有荒谬的行为都是仿效那些我们无法模仿的人产生的。"
— Samuel Johnson

Simplified Meaning:
When people try to act like others who are very different from them, it often leads to foolish behavior. For example, if someone sees a famous actor living a luxurious life, they might try to copy their expensive habits even though they can’t afford it. This can make them do silly things, like spending too much money on clothes or cars they don’t really need. The result is that they could end up in debt or living beyond their means, all because they tried to be like someone they’re not. Instead of imitating others, it’s better to understand and appreciate our own unique qualities. By focusing on what makes us special and behaving in ways that suit our true selves, we can lead more genuine and satisfying lives.
