Patterns Over People

Copying extremely successful people is a dangerous trap. When you try to imitate a famous billionaire, you completely ignore the hidden luck that helped them win. The truth is simple. The more extreme someone's success is, the less useful their advice becomes for a regular person. Instead of studying unique individuals, you should look for broad patterns. Watch what happens to hundreds of ordinary people when they try something new. When you find a mistake or a victory that repeats over and over, you discover a real lesson. Common patterns will always teach you more than rare outliers.
