#11. Model the Best
“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” – Isaac Newton
You can start from scratch or you can start from examples.
By starting from examples, you can “Stand on the shoulders of giants” and leapfrog ahead.
More importantly, you can use the examples to model from and inspire and guide yourself with skill.
They will help you avoid dead ends and glass ceilings.
You can always choose to ignore what other people have done. But that should be an explicit decision.
One of the best ways to speed up success is to build on the patterns and practices that work.
Success always leaves clues.
You can learn from the success of others to tune and prune your own success path.
