That's right. Do be you. If you try to be like anyone else then you are an imitation of another person.
Does that mean we can't learn from other people? Sometimes we observe examples of kindness or wisdom or fun that we wish we could have. We might say to ourselves, "I want to be like that."
I think we can when we integrate the action or behavior into our own way of being.
Just as we learn and use new words, we can learn and use new behaviors other people model for us.
That's how imitation and learning are different. When we learn and integrate new words and behaviors, they become a part of who we are and how we express ourselves.
