People often say, “Never take advice from someone you’re doing better than” or “Don’t take advice from people who aren’t where you want to be in life,” or something along those lines. Although I understand the message, I don’t fully agree.
Just because someone is doing better than you or pursuing something you aspire to do doesn’t mean the advice they give you will be good. Similarly, just because you’re doing better than someone or they’re in an unfortunate situation doesn’t mean they can’t provide valuable advice or life lessons.
You can learn from anyone, regardless of their situation. At the very least, you can learn what not to do.
