This advice sounds a bit immature to me (which the author hints at in the end) -- it's sounds like a sign of one who hasn't taken "know thyself" to heart -- that the author defines himself and is motivated through the expectations and desires of others, rather than being driven by inner strength and understanding (deeply set principles) and hence an intrinsic motivation.
- fexl 15y agoIt is a bit of a mind game, yes. I don't think it's healthy to do things because someone else might admire it or think it's right. But I think it's fine to aspire to be like others who embody your own principles and values more effectively or faithfully than you do at the moment. That kind of emulation is healthy.
