You run into situations that make you compare how you are doing vis-a-vis others you admire, like or respect.
Like favourite people all you want. You cannot become them ever. It's futile to be like others.
It is good to meet people from various backgrounds and fields and listen to their way of doing things. The way they think about situations that you struggle with. Find out how they navigate circumstances that lead to positive outcomes. Learn from others to improve your odds of success. It requires no getting entangled with who they are as a person.
Trying to be some other personality you are not is going to be disappointing. Short cuts to mimic what Steve Jobs, Sachin Tendulkar or Shahrukh Khan looks, thinks or does results in blatant comparison that is bound to boomerang on you.
You are not them. You cannot be. You are uniquely you.
Ditto for what you are building or when erecting companies. They carry are unique to who you are and what you stand for.
Learn from others. Always. And be cognizant of your own environment and the flexibility you get from it.
You are bound to be more adventurous and natural in everything you do.
Play the cards that you are dealt!
