To be successful in whatever you do in life you need a mentor. Someone who will put you through, give you advice and someone who has already made it. When you stand on the shoulders of those that have made it in life, you will not make the same mistakes they made.
Everyone needs a mentor, a teacher and that person should be interested in your success and if you don't have one now, it's not too late to get one.
All those who have succeeded in life had someone at their back coaching them, telling them what to do and how to do it. Don't just make anybody you see on the street your mentor, make sure that person is interested in making you better. You can't listen to people who haven't achieved anything.
