I'm always skeptical when receiving life advice from successful people, because their advice is biased towards taking too much risk, because successful people are selected for having been lucky.

Also note the reason Scott Adams gives for disregarding the advice of successful people. :)

What about those successful people that failed many times to get where they are?
