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.

I agree that it depends on the situation.

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.

Sarah

That definitely makes things less stressful

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

Sounds like good advice.

Sarah

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.

Kelsey

I feel the pain.

Katelyn

Some things never change with you. Maybe next semester.

Robyn

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.

Nate

All my family members give me great advice steering me in the right direction most of the time I take the advice.

Will

That’s good

Nate

You should take my advice when I say to do your math!

Nick

Nice.

Will

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.

Nutt

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

Brandon Westfall

I understand completely.

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

1/14/2019 10:08:03 am

That sounds like good advise to live by

Nate

1/14/2019 10:06:45 am

I probly git advice all the time but I usually don’t listen. After about a minute minute and a half I quit listening

Aimee

1/14/2019 10:08:26 am

I think it’s more like a half a minute.

Brandon Westfall

1/22/2019 04:04:57 pm

Wow Nate. Lol

Hailey Jo

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.

Kiana Farnworth

Moms always seem to know how to help when it matters.

Kelsey

1/14/2019 10:09:55 am

I normally follow my moms advice because it is the most helpful

Kelsey

1/14/2019 10:06:58 am

I dont remember a certain time, but I try to follow advise that will help me in my certain situation

Hailey Jo

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

1/14/2019 10:10:21 am

I should probably save some money one of these days.

Robyn

1/14/2019 10:12:39 am

That is really good advice

Nutt

1/14/2019 10:12:45 am

That's some really good advise.

Nick

1/14/2019 10:07:14 am

Nutt

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.

Will

1/14/2019 10:09:11 am

Nice

James

1/14/2019 10:09:57 am

That’s unhealthy

Brook

1/14/2019 10:11:55 am

That’s funny

I have gotten a lot of advice from family members usually it was very helpful or I didn’t listen, because there crazy.

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.

Katelyn

1/14/2019 10:09:37 am

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

Kayla

It’s always nice to have someone

Robyn

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

1/14/2019 10:15:54 am

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

Alexis

1/14/2019 10:09:03 am

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.

Kayla

1/14/2019 10:09:30 am

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.

Cherish

1/14/2019 10:12:17 am

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

James

1/14/2019 10:12:33 am

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