It pays to study carefully why something is successful before you
mimic it. Following the C/Unix model might seem to make sense, but we
should understand, not guess, why it succeeded. 

For example, suppose you wanted to be a successful
singer/actress/director. Looking at Barbra Streisand, you'd notice she
has a big nose and a Brooklyn accent.  Having a reverse nose job and
voice training might not work the way you want.
