Have you ever thought that success is not as mysterious as it seems? Zhang Yongping once shared an idea — which Microsoft product is a complete zero-base innovation? They all build on existing foundations to do better. Look at the electric vehicle industry, Tesla is definitely not the first to try, but why has it become an industry benchmark? And look at the familiar Binance, there were already many exchanges before it, but Binance managed to become a leading trading platform through learning, referencing, and optimizing. The same applies historically — Liu Bang was not the first rebel, Zhu Yuanzhang was not either, but they won. What does this tell us? For ordinary people, instead of chasing the false fame of "originality," it’s better to learn from excellent people and things. Find a benchmark, study it thoroughly, and then excel in details and execution. This is the most practical shortcut to success.

Basically, it's copying homework but doing it more aggressively than others. The true test is in the details.

That's right, copying homework to the extreme also makes you a winner.
