“Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.”

Learning to do what somebody else has done or is doing is imitation.
We are all directly or indirectly; consciously or unconsciously involved in doing that. However, we cannot continue to live by imitation.
Start as an imitator but you must strive to end as an initiator.
