The meaning of imitation, the psychology of not being able to imitate

From the manga "Investor Z"

Kubota: "I feel like my own individuality might be lost... I also want to value my own thoughts"

Miyuki: "I don't need my own thoughts!"

Machida: "Eh... really?"

Miyuki: "They say to find and nurture a child's individuality, but that's all a lie. What you need is to fit into a pattern! All success is brought by the pattern! If you have no standards within yourself, your axis wavers, and you wander without ever settling on a direction. To progress properly, first learn from the wisdom of those who came before you. Absorb the patterns of success. Once the pattern is set, growth comes quickly!"
