Shortcut to Success - Wheel of Fortune

Since I was a kid at school, I was told that there was no shortcut to success. Somewhere along the way I started to believe that and always thought you needed years of studying, the knowledge, and the experience to be successful in a chosen area.
3 years ago, I started to learn to read the tarot and I found tarot readers with decades of experience. I hesitated to move forward. Yet, in the last 3 months I have learnt more than in the last 3 years because I was in a hurry. I searched for more information, I read a lot more, I was selective and definitely the experiences of others helped me find more meaning than I would have if I did it on my own.
Today there is a shortcut to success because the learning, the experience and the mistakes of others give you the shortcut to get where you want without stumbling along.
We should not cut, but it is wise to copy and edit our lives in all spheres, we can be a lot more successful than we are today. If all lives had a copyright, then we would have become extinct ages ago.
If I am willing to respect and take from another's learning, then I will be not just a jealous neighbor but a model that someone else can look upto.
When you stagnate and do not grow, you are afraid to share and then the cycle is broken. For the Wheel of Fortune to keep moving, you have to move it and let someone else move it as well.
