Have you ever tried to impersonate somebody? In other words, have you pretended to be someone who you are not in real life? This might not seem as something you can answer in a simple 'yes' or 'no' type response. The reason being this might have happened without your conscious involvement. When you come across people who are inspiring, motivating and leading in a distinguishing manner, you tend to follow them sub-consciously.
There are people whom you look up to in career and life for who they are and what they do. When you have a positive influence you aspire to become that person in future. With or without actually trying you tend to pick the quotes, ideas, mimic the behavior of these people. This shouldn't be a problem when it is done as a good thing & then there are times when people have negative influence on you & you are not sure how to respond.
When you want to achieve things and grow in life, it is those positive things which contributes to your success. Do not get influenced by jealousy, ego, anger, grudge, etc. over someone and act on it. It might seem to be helping but it will hurt you more when you come back to your senses. When you are honest and sincere in your approach towards everything in life, there wouldn't be a time when you have to pretend to be somebody to gain something!
