Abstract: Abstract Have you ever felt puzzled? Some people around you seem not to work particularly hard, yet they effortlessly reap high rewards; meanwhile, despite your diligence, you remain stuck in place. This phenomenon is not coincidental—it reveals a core aspect of success that most people overlook: direction and path. Intelligence and hard work are indeed accelerators of success, but they alone cannot determine it. In fact, the first principle of success is: imitate those who have already achieved results.
