English, asked by koushik55roy, 4 months ago

solve the precis 151 words....The student should learn to think and act for himself. No man has ever been great by
imitation. One 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
teacher had taught him to imitate as well as to admire. Indeed, it is easy to imitate and borrow.
But set it down that no imitator ever reached anything like eminence. We cannot copy goodness
or greatness by any effort. We must acquire it by our own patience and diligence.
