Summary

This quote suggests that being a disciple or follower does not mean simply imitating one's guide or mentor. Each individual has their unique approach to navigating life and overcoming challenges.

Ultimately, the quote emphasizes the importance of personal growth and finding one's own path to success rather than merely emulating others.
