This is one of the most important I've learnt in life.

So simple that sounds silly... if someone does something better than you, don't get jealous, but learn from him.

Over and over. You can see something succeeding at something you would want to succeed and have to basic reactions:

A: "Damn Jimmy Hendrix, I wish he cut his fingers so he could not play anymore!"
B: "I would like to play like that, he shows that is possible to do it, I've learnt from his style, and from other ones, so I'll create my own"

And that thing over and over...
I've met people in life... that... well... were special in whatever. !... "Oh, my he knows how to laugh anytime". I've learned from him, I can laugh quite the same.
"He's good in relating with people, he makes everyone have a good time, so himself", and I've tried to learn that with other person an a example.

What's best that a living example in front of you???
Also jealousy is quite self-destructive, kind of like hate... and admiration trying to learnt makes you grow. It doesn't mean "impersonation", copy "one single" person, but things you would like to be that some people already are.

There are lots of ways of learning, I think Steve has a blog about it, and one is self-learning observing the ones that do what you want to do. That's why some are called "masters" or "maestros", they are the ones that guide the others... others copy them and the "maestros" don't hate it... they're very happy with that... their "alter egos" are like more power to their message... more like the world they would like to see.

Who's learning from Steve to make blogs? You can raise the hand.
