Don't listen to successful people


 We want to learn from successful people, but sometimes what they tell us is not complete. For every one successful person who says their success is because of one key factor like hard work, persistance, marketing, adaptability, mindset etc, there are nine others who have applied the same and still failed. Beware of survivor bias. 

Listen to successful people, but extract the right lessons.
