Meeting Your Heroes VS Becoming Your Heroes

They say you shouldn’t meet your heroes. I’m not sure it makes any difference:

• Meet them and see their flaws, or don’t meet them and remember they’re flawed. Meeting them doesn’t make them flawed any more than believing they’re perfect makes them so.
• Meet them and learn from them, or don’t meet them and learn from them. Meeting them doesn’t make them easier or harder to learn from if they’re producing books and trainings you can use.

Learn what you can from their successes and failures so that you can have more of the former and less of the latter. Meetings optional.
