Change, noise and social progression

It is the construct in human order, probably the destiny or fate of how we are all designed – that it is so hard for the constructive to believe, and then make progress happen in mankind. Given our five senses, we see what we believe, we hear things and we touch and feel the world around us. We are limited by our reach of the environment, and thus our surroundings, education all become stimulus to the response we provide to the environment.

But what did the human mind learn? Some of us believed we must ape what the achieved have done, in order to achieve what they did. But we forgot, it was not the means that made the aim, but the aim that decided the fate. So, if a mystic chose to be ascetic, we learnt to be ascetic rather than chase the root to mysticism. In that very wake itself, if a successful entrepreneur displayed a certain character trait – we pursued the traits, whether or not, it necessarily translate into the success or not.

Recently, I learnt that someone bought two hundred black turtle neck t-shirts, in the wake of learning that Steve Jobs used to wear turtlenecks, and he hoarded them in a similar fashion in his wardrobe. But that’s that. You cannot become Steve Jobs by wearing black turtle-necks. That’s absurd. And where in history has it been, that people have achieved certain success by copying the character traits of an idol or master. Successful people have “learnt” from their masters – art, skill, knowledge – they rarely become successful by “copying” someone’s style or character trait.
