" You should learn from your competitor, but never copy. Copy and you die. "
- Jack Ma
When you learn from someone, you're imbibing their good qualities and their understanding towards different aspects. When someone is your competitor, he definately has got something that you don't have. So learning from a competitor helps you understand their strategy, most importantly another viewpoint of looking at things. That enriches your overall knowledge about a particular subject matter. And helps your grow yourself
However when you copy, you embody their work, strategy or product. That only makes their legacy strong and deminishes yours. And a copy is always a copy, no matter how close. So even if you copy, you're not going to get any big advantage out of it.
On the other hand if you keep improving yourself and your venture. You might become so strong yourself that you'll have your special place reserved in the market. That's how you stand afoot. Orginal, proud and always getting better.
