Which is a better way to become successful, to follow the path of one who has already become successful, or to seek a path that nobody else has ever taken?
If you put peanut butter and jelly on two slices of bread, one to each, does the sandwich taste different if you eat it with the peanut butter side up versus jelly side up? (Does it matter if the peanut butter is chunky or smooth? Does it matter if the peanut butter is organic? Do people actually really truly enjoy apricot spread?)
Edit: I would like to clarify the first question. By "better", I intended to mean "higher probability".

If you follow in the footsteps of a pathway that has made someone else successful, you will always be in the shadow of that person, hence deeming you unsuccessful. Only by trailblazing the new frontier will you find your own success.
As for the PBJ,the texture is slightly different if you change the peanut butter, and which side is up.
To follow the path of one who has already become successful means to gauge your own achievement by that person's success. Whether that's desirable is up to each individual.
When I eat PBJ, I take a bite and split the two halves so I can experience both sides concurrently.
