It means that it's better to be yourself and stay real, and not be the most perfect person in the world - than to be perfect, by changing who you are.

It's better to be yourself, and sometimes fail----then try to be like someone else and succeed. Basically, YOU are not succeeding, you are helping someone else to succeed.

i get what the person below me is trying to say, but they just took it way to literal. all this saying is saying, is to not copy what everyone else is doing. or basically, just be original. meaning don't follow trends, make them. find something someone hasn't warn in awhile, and wear it. simple, just be you.

Some people believe it is always better to do your own thing your own way than it is to do the same things other people do and succeed at them.
Its a statement of nonconformity, saying "I am not like everyone else and I like that, even if it doesnt work very well"
My personal opinion.
This is an immature statement. Saying youd rather fail at doing everything your own unique way rather than succeed at something other people do is stupid and short sighted. Everything you do has been done before in some form. Our lives are determined by history.
We drive cars because other people have driven cars for years. We go to school because everyone else has been doing it to learn and grow for years. We eat certain foods because they are available, they are available because people have been doing it for years. We dress however we dress because other people have been doing it for years.
You get the idea.
A good life has a balance of originality and conformity. Some things are better done keeping in mind that you are part of humanity. Some things are better done seeking your own individuality. Part of growing up is learning to keep the two things in balance so that neither dominates your life.
