    Agreed. The OP makes it sound like you should only take advice from successful people, but successful people might just be lucky. We should also be careful to not take investment advice from lottery winners.

        A drug addict can absolutely tell someone they shouldn’t do drugs. Hypocritical? Yep.

        It’s not even hypocritical, the risk of addiction is literally the reason why you shouldn’t even try certain drugs, and the addict not being able to quit even though they know that it’s bad just proves the point.

      Just watch out for people projecting their specific problems onto your situation when you don’t have those problems. Mostly a problem with unsolicited “advice”
