There were and will be several people pushing to buy property, Bitcoin, a particular stock, etc at different points in the past. Investing in things like property makes more sense and somewhat more timeless than things like Bitcoin. But still hard to pick the right influence at the right time. Same for investing in learning a particular skill.

But you make a good point to learn from others' experience and to have more good and consistent influences. And I wish I had some and I had listened to some.
