Any advice you’ve ever heard or given. I linked a great video that I think would be my answer, combined with the “stop caring what other people think about you” and “comparison is the thief of joy” comments below. Just do stuff that you wanna do, don’t compare and don’t care what others say. It’s awesome advice.

    Credit cards should be used exclusively for discounts and to build your credit. Only use them if you have the resources to pay the balance in full every month so you’ll never pay interest.

    work does not define you and it doesn’t reflect your self worth.

    there’s a very high chance you’re getting rob while doing it too so do it as shitty as possible (without risking your food)

    IDK about advice per say but it kinda fits. My favorite quote from rocky.

    “The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward."

    Take care of your body. Teeth, bones, joints, muscles, and skin can all be repaired but it’s never as good as a factory original.

    Also, those repairs cost time and money. My father in law is almost 20 years younger than my dad and can’t do as much in a day as my dad. He’s shortened his quality life because he thought shrugging off problems was what you should do.

    Don’t play rigged games.

    Do what you think is right, but actually take some time to think about if it’s right or just feels right.

    Being right and being wrong feel the exact same until challenged by facts, challenge your own beliefs, use the Socratic method if you need a starting point.

        huh, good observation - my instant thought was casinos and “climbing the corporate ladders”

    When dropping into a half pipe, overcommit the lean. The last thing you want is to slip over backwards. Slipping forwards is fine, you just might have to roll.

    Sage advice I got from my dad: being kind to others greases the wheels of diplomacy, and it doesn’t make them a bit more bulletproof.
