Keep in mind that your friends in high places are primarily your friends. It would be a shame to forget this fact, especially if you're growing too interested in how they can get you where you need to be. The minute this focus eclipses your concern for their personal happiness, you run the risk of losing a friendship. These friends are valuable to you not for where they can take you, but for who they are. Forget what they do for a living, and pay attention to what they teach you.
