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 found that sometimes people don’t get the message even after being clearly rejected but once they’re ghosted, they’re just gone. I’ve had to resort to ghosting after an ex refused to leave me alone even after I have rejected him multiple times.

Personally though, I think it’ll be easier to move on from a full on rejection because at least you got some closure. Do you agree?
