J1. A student should learn to think and act for himself. No man has ever been great by imitation. A great reason is that it is much easier to copy the defects of a great man's character than to imitate his excellences. Alexander the Great had a foolish tutor who used to call him Achilles. He was taught to admire that character. But when he came to imitate Achilles, he imitated one of the most cruel and hateful actions of that hero's life. He dragged the governor of a town through the streets after his chariot. This was because his foolish tutor had taught him to imitate as well as to admire. Indeed, it is easy to imitate and borrow. But met it down, as no imitator reached anything like eminence. We cannot copy goodness or greatness by an effort. We must acquire it by our own patience and diligence. (Jenkins School, Cooch Behar]
