Back then, they assumed the role of critics, But now, they are just mimics.

Trying something new can look foolish before it works. The people who keep their own wings folded may laugh at the first failed attempts because they see the fall but not the courage it took to leave the ground. Success changes their view. What was mocked becomes something worth copying, and critics may suddenly speak as if they had always believed. Their change reveals how much their judgment depended on the visible result.

The achievement still belongs to the person who kept trying while laughter was the only response. By the time imitation begins, the difficult work has already created freedom. The old criticism no longer needs to be answered from the ground.
