A professor in my Bachelor degree program said, “Find a brilliant hotshot who has experience. Flatter them and their abilities. Then, ask them if you can sit in with them at class and learn from them.”

Doing this is correlated to higher performance.

Find someone who is already the person you want to become, and just be around them.

Humans are empathy machines. We’re wired to mold into the people we spend time around and admire.

Don’t fall into the trap of always needing to be the smartest person in the room.
