Just to randomly veer slightly off topic for a moment. I agree with this but also I want to point out that its important to not think you can only learn from people who are further along in their skill than you. Will Terrel has some great advice for this. He tries to learn at least one lesson from every person he meets. Everyone has something they're good at, so never let your ego blind you from learning something new. If you approach helping others selfishly as well in order to gain insight from them you can create good vibes while giving into selfishness :)
I dont mean to address this to you personally Amit since it seems like you're a pretty selfless guy. So I dont think my advice pertains to you but more to a certain mentality I see in the art community.
