Yea I agree. Doesn't mean you can't learn from them though. But you are not a carbon copy of them so trying to mimic them to become successful is stupid. Be uniquely you.
Ah, but i couldn't help myself here:
"The control we have on events in our life are extremely limited"
So you admit we do have some free will in our lives. Since we do possess some control. In your other post you made it seem as though we are just helpless humans floating through life with no free will or control. Nice to see you do know we have some control over our lives ;)
You can learn from anybody, anything. They don't need to be successful.
extremely limited. for example if i put a gold fish in a tank it has the "free will" i already set for it.
Then your post from the other day should have been titled instead of "we have no free will" to "we have extremely limited free will"
