Good story. I think advice can come in many form and shape, you just have to recognize it as such.

A bit like luck. Sure, you can win the lottery (if you buy a ticket). But a lot of what people call "luck" is a combination of:

1. Opportunity (which you can increase your chances of it occurring). Although some people are born in a highly advantageous environment.

2. Readiness to grab that opportunity (skills, finances, environment).

3. Realizing that you actually have #1 and #2 and going for it. I have sadly not always done that.
