Default Help me enrich my life with wonderful advice thread.

In this thread we teach each other things we have learned in our life that would be useful for other people to know. This can be either serious or silly advice...

My advice:

Listen to what other people have to say. You're not always right, and what you think about someone is not what everyone thinks about them.

"Use your turn signals, jackass!"

and, "Lying to people is sometimes a necessary evil, but be honest with yourself as often as you can".

Also, don't listen to bad advice.

Don't let morality guide your actions, morals aren't set in stone. Sometimes we need to do "bad" things in order to survive/prosper

If you open a band-aid in the dark the package GLOWS as you rip it. I just discovered this last night. In my semi-drunken state it was fascinating.

Mustard, especially the French, with white wine in it is a superb seasoning.

I wonder if Sony has a say in when the next generation of terrorism begins.

Be honest (but helpfully so) with everyone you can. There will be times when you have to decide whether to tell someone the whole brutal truth, knowing full well that it may do more harm than good. Times like those, you should be honest, but keep in mind that sometimes, being helpful is better. Stick to the truth that best helps the situation. Give them the information that will help them make an informed but positive decision for themselves. Telling him (or her) that his partner is a lying, cheating sleaze might seem like the right thing to do. However, suggesting he might be better off with someone more his type would probably help everyone a lot more, and lead to fewer incarcerations.

Be brutally honest with yourself. However, the same principal does not go for yourself. You must be scrupulously honest with yourself about everything, because you'll never forgive yourself a lie, and you'll pay for your own folly in time.

Never be embarassed about doing things you enjoy, even if others think you are silly/childish for doing them.

Never take any notice of people who tell you to "Get a life". You have a life. What you choose to do with that life is a matter of personal preference.

Never say never. Always avoid absolutes.
