Elvis is the greatest example any human being can learn a great deal from about life. He had it all -- good looks, great personality, charisma, charm, talent out the wazoo, served his nation in the military when others of his generation used their power and influence to avoid service; had more money than G-d, a beautiful wife and child, and unending love of fans across the globe numbering in the multi-millions even after nearly 50- years after he is gone.
However, he died sad, miserable, tired, drugged-out on prescription drugs, and was found dead on his toilet. He is the epitome of the King with no clothes.
Lesson learned from him?
"Don't worry, be happy" -- love your life, those around you and be free of your self-made demons.
