Learn to learn from the best

In the business arena.
In the firm/organization where you've found yourself, even in that market you are, are there individuals who seem to be more prosperous? Are there people who seem to have anything that come in contact with them turned into gold. Are there people in that firm whose promotions from a level to another come as frequently as new sets of houseflies come around some stinking material.
In that market place, are there people who never experience failure in every venture the involve themselves into? Yes. The truth is that the above sets of people exist and they are the ones I prefer to refer to as the best in the game.
But sometimes, when we identify these kinds of people in our circle we tend to view them as extraordinary people who are meant to be envied. Yea these set of people are to be envied, they are extraordinary owing to the spot they occupy in the game's table. But the only difference between you and them is simply the fact that these people understand the game and its intricacies more than you do. So they consequently succeed in that which they understand very well.
Like you've read in this chapter, your envy would be very good in this respect because it'd make you to want to be like them. Therefore you must conscious be not to let the burdens of envy manifest. So the principal thing to do here is to try as much as possible to get close to these people while retaining envy without its burdens. This would make you learn the ideas and strategies these people employ to be where they are.
