Brain principle: Copying

By nature we are copy-cats 

We learn best when we copy others. It is a very simple rule.
Actually it is stupid not to put this principle at work. 

Just imagine this example:
We have a child willing to learn a language. We order this kid not to copy your words. You order this kid to come up with its own words. Wouldn't that be the most stupid thing to do?   

Just watch kids in order to see this principle in action. The moment a child wants to learn to use something new, it will start to copy its role model. It will try to copy his/her role-model exactly in order to conquer this challenge. With the use of our perseverance principle this kid will take care of the fact that he/she will be able to apply this new knowledge in no time. It will continue to observe and will try to imitate his/her role-model in a perfectionistic and almost blind manner. 

Our brain imitates our role-models consciously and unconsciously. Even their behaviors will be copied. The moment we listen to somebody, our brains will remember the most favorite words and behaviors immediately. You must not be surprised to see these same words and behaviors in their behavior as well again. 

Do not underestimate the power of this principle. Many of us will remain copying until we have perfectly copied whatever we wanted to copy from somebody else (consciously or unconsciously).
When this has happened, we start to seek a new role-model to even improve this newly attained knowledge again. 

This principle means that our thinking patterns of our brain cells are a direct copy of our environment. Many experts in the area of psychology and self-development agree that in order to be successful one needs to associate with other successful people.
In order to use this knowledge, you should take a closer look at your acquaintances and whom you are copying at a conscious or/and unconscious level.  

Methods in order to maximize this copy principle  

Try to associate as much as possible with people you respect the most  

Whenever a conversation tends to lead to negative talking, try to cheer up or quit the conversation as a whole.  

Don't involve yourself into negative talking.  

Try to find good role-models  

Repeat successful strategies which lead to your present goals.
