text: Lastly, successful people around the world were only able to get where they are now because of the people surrounding them and the advice they got. Important people in the world such as Bill Gates, got all types of advice; whether it be good, bad, misleading, or questioning advice they still were able to become successful. That is all due to the fact that they were able to pick out the ones that apply to them and form their own opinions. Elon Musk, the founder of the company Tesla, was not able to make a Tesla when he was just a teenager. He had to ask for advice from people on how to make a name for himself, he had to learn everything about a car and the way it works, he had to ask for advice about what to do with all the money he got when he became successful. As a result, he was able to achieve his dream through the advice of others, and not just one person. Barack Obama, a former president, did not now anything about politics when he was a toddler. So, how did he become the first African American president in all of U.S. history? It was because of all the advice he got from everyone on where to go to study politics, how to become a successful politician, how to make a campaign for presidency, etc. Only then was he able to form his own opinion through the advice of others and decide where to study politics and how to become the president. In the end, the only way a person can become successful is by forming their own opinions through the advice of not one person, but many.
