To be authentic you must speak from your journey, seek deeper interpretations to the events in your life and teach from that. Reason is, there is nothing new under the sun in terms of human experience. We may toay use more sophisticated tools but the emotions behind are the same.
Whoever is "successful" & gives advice their words must be consistent with who they are and their own experience. They can counsel out of their failures or successes but it must come from somewhere authentic. There was a reason why Jesus went to the temple to hear the Pharisses.
2. The reason he sat and allowed the Pharisees who had flaws to teach, asking them questions is that life is a continuum. Even the failures of the previous generation are meant to be lessons for the new and the new can only stand on the successes of the old to make real impact.
3. Job 8:8-11 "For enquire I pray thee of the former age...for we are but of yesterday and know nothing ...shall they not teach thee ...can the rush grow without mire? can flag grow without water?" The tools of each generation changes but patterns are the same.
4.The hatred that drove Cain to kill Abel is the same that drives a man in the year 2020 to kill others. The emotion and principle remain the same it is the tools used to implement it that differs. The consequence of the action also remains the same for whoever sheds blood.
