Success, a quality that everyone desired, lead many debates related to this perspective. In the approach to success, whether one should be as similar to others as possible or just be unique, be different has aroused a heated widely-argued topic. From my standpoint, I would prefer being unique. Reasons are listed as follows.
With a creative product, people would feel our enthusiasm in developing, passion in inventing. They'll buy it for being touched, for admiring what we have done in making a better product, thus we will likely to be success. In the process of inventing a new product, we will spare no effort in thinking, collaborating, creating and improving. All of them lead to the perfectness of the final merchandise. Customers is widely acknowledged as a group of wise investigators. When a new product comes out, they are definitely able to tell the good one from the need-to-be-improved one.Take Steve Jobs and his revolutionary device-iPhone-for example, after five years of research and development when it first unveiled to people, they got screaming. This is how consumers react over a truly different mobile phone that come out to the world. According to the statistics later, Apple had been sold for nearly 1 million iPhones in the first week. The key is to be different.
In a tedious condition for a company just copying others' labor,or being stuck to the original style not willing to change anything, you will not only being abandoned by customers but also being accused by someone who indeed invented them, as a result you are either facing a serious financial crisis or in the side where immoral reputation stands. Nokia and Samsung are good instances. Nokia used to be a great cellphone manufacturer, owing to the laziness in reshaping the outline of their phones, finally in 2014 they are acquired by Microsoft. When it comes to Samsung, this year as a defendant, they lose a lawsuit against apple, which charged them for 10 billion dollars to compensate apple. These examples tell us both similar with your own idea and with others are not beneficial, sometimes vital to your enterprise.
However, in several special fields that demand unanimous criteria, be more like others will surely bring you numerous advantages against disadvantages. Given that these industries alike is limited, such as credit card manufacture, pen refill production, thus when we are not involving in them it is highly suggested we keep a unique mind. As a conclusion, for the purpose of being a successful man, creation can never be treated with contempt. Only when we are follow our own ideas and not imitating others will we ultimately bring on astonishing products or projects, with accumulation of which we can finally be success.
