6. Learn from Role Models

What:
Study successful people I admire, not necessary celebrities or entertainers

Tricks/How:
Learn and understand what got people there (achievement and hard work)
Don't be afraid to ask/interview people
Don't be afraid to adapt/adjust ideas or traits
NO shortcuts, NO gimmicks
NO easy way, NO luck
Reaffirm own traits with others' experiences
Learn on mistakes from past
Surround myself with wise/older people

Encouragement:
Modeling is how we learn in life. Take essence of what makes them successful and incorporate/apply to my philosophy. Deserving victory takes hard work. My way is not the only way. Put my own methods under a microscope. Adapt, make better, change. It's important to like to work had.

Learn from others. Learn from people who have made the journey before me. Learn from their wisdom.

Where do their qualities come from?
Who inspires me to seek new heights?
Who are my role models?
