How does a path chosen or a lifestyle get recreated/replicated?

For example, let’s say a fierce athlete claims fame, along with the rewards of all his efforts being paid off.

He motivates and gives tips to a learner of his. (He is their mentor).

Can that student achieve what he has from all his advice and motivation? Or can it only be done by facing the same challenges/hardships he has faced etc. ?

I wonder if the words of an influential and powerful person can recreate the same success in a student of the influencer, or if it is only possible to replicate the steps of greatness, having only or additionally, undergone *the same level of treatment in life,* as the mentor/influencer (had).

- What do you think? Are the words enough? The advice?

Or do they (the student (s)) have to build a similar mindset from similar experiences?

I always hear of our gender settling at some point if they can't be with the man they wanted long ago. It's the same story; the one they wanted wouldn't commit so they get someone else (likely an older man, older than the previous one) before running out of time to have kids.

Do some men settle too? Can there also be cases of men that got married and had kids with another woman (ok so he stills finds her attractive and can love her but never was madly head over heels) because they one they wanted years ago either never reciprocated or rejected him.

So lately I've ran across a lot of women saying it's gross if men don't wipe their tip after they pee. Personally Idc men should just do whatever they are comfortable with. This isn't something I teach my boys tho. I tell them to shake it after they pee but maybe I'm wrong for this...
