Part 4/8:
One of the most common pitfalls in personal development is imitation. The speaker illustrates this through a humorous story of two hat sellers—one from the past and another from a more recent time—who both encounter monkeys that mimic their actions. The first seller reacts out of frustration, while the second has learned the value of intelligent engagement. This contrast serves as a reminder that true knowledge does not come from blindly following others but rather through experiencing and questioning the world afresh.
