I can’t think of a specific time in which I was given advice, but when I do get advice from others it really depends, on the situation, if it is helpful or not.

The best advice I’ve ever gotten was to be patient and let things be, if things are meant to be then they’ll happen. This advice was very helpful and I live by it everyday.

It’s great that you are able to implement such advice into your life, most people would want to, but would be unable to.

My mom advised me not to take an IDLA class because I’m a procrastinator. Im sure it would have been good advise if I had listened but I didn’t.

Most of the advice I’ve gotten from my family has been very unhelpful. I did not follow their advice but I still thanked them for their help.

I get advice on business management every day. It was helpful the first time but after awhile it gets annoying because I get advice on things I already know.

I can understand how constant and/or repetitive advise could get annoying.

The one advice that my mother gave me that stuck to me was ‘don’t give in to the hatred for a person, because you give them power over you.’ It was helpful because I knew I couldn’t feel hatred for any human and it gives a peace of mind over myself. I adhere to it every time I’m angered by an individual’s actions or words.
Sarah

That sounds like good advise to live by

Aimee
1/14/2019 10:08:26 am

A specific time didn’t pop into my head, but I have received advice from my parents or older brother many times. My mom’s advice is usually very helpful.

My grandmother told me that to save my money I might need it one day for good reason and I saved it. Her advice was helpful.
Aimee

I should probably save some money one of these days.
Robyn

I got advise from my mom last night on which cigs I should try out. She told me to try camel 99s and it was really helpful. I got a pack and I love them.

Over the years I have received a lot of advice from my coaches in various sports. I think that the most helpful advice I’ve been given was to not worry on race day because it made me perform worse when I was nervous. I have definitely adhered to this advice because it helped me to be a better performing athlete.

I always received similar advice with my throwing events and it makes track more fun and achievable.

My step dad once told me that if I wanted to be on time I should wake up 30 minutes before I would originally wake up (like I should wake up at 6:30 to get ready for school then get up by 6). I have tried to adhere to this advice but I always end up falling back asleep.
Alexis

I also try to do this and it usually has the same outcome.
Alexis

I have been given a lot of advice from friends, family and counselors but I usually just have to find out for myself. I commonly do not take advice but if I do, they should be flattered because it is rare.
Kayla
1/14/2019 10:12:23 am
Yeah true. But it’s goid to figure things out on your own also.

I have been given advice from many different people these past couple of months. The one person who gives the best advice though is an amazing woman who has gone through a lot and knows things. She just keeps telling me to be strong. Life has a way of trying us but in the end we will be just fine. She has helped me through a lot and I try my best to take whatever advice she gives me.

Sometimes it’s not your own parents that give you the best advice
James

I don’t remember any specific examples but I tend to follow advice given to me. Leave a Reply. |
