Write about the time when you gave or were given some good advice?

Answer 1

Types of "good advice" include:

• work hard
• honesty never makes you a liar
• lying never gets you further ahead
• lying puts you three steps back from where you were
• lying is like jumping into an active volcano; you'll never get out
• work for yourself not just for money
• don't settle for less than you're worth in any area of life
• don't marry the first guy / gal you see
• don't marry the first guy who asks (if you don't love him; don't marry just to marry)
• stand firm in heavy wind, but run from tornadoes
• every person can bring either sun or storms; pick the ones who bring sun
• stick out the storms in marriage
• you'll never marry anyone better than your best friend
• never marry an enemy
• if you want your spouse to be your enemy, keep firing hurtful words
• socks come in pairs because you have 2 feet; stand on them
• if you can't run, walk; if you can't walk, crawl; if you can't crawl, pull yourself-- never give up
• a person is only stubborn when showing their tenacity (negative labels always have a positive opposite)
• tenacity is never weakness
• jewels aren't laying in the grass; get your shovel
• if you can't see "beautiful" create something that is
• surround yourself with uplifting and inspiring reminders
• if you can't inspire someone, push them
• sometimes it's better to allow yourself to fall, rather than trying to hold on
• hold on, only if it's the best decision for the situation
• wait--- life will always change
• change is good
• if you don't like your life, change it
• the only person anyone must sleep with from birth to death is himself
• if you don't like yourself, you'll be a rotten bed partner
• even something as small as a hard crumb can aggravate, especially if you have to sleep on top of it
• keep pebbles out of your shoes, unless you enjoy pain
• a pebble in your shoe can remind you that you don't like pain
• no one will always bring you comfort so you better learn how to comfort yourself
• when you think your past was better, remember, even babies have problems
• problems are only problems before you find solutions
• solutions are the rewards for having problems
• no one--absolutely no one--is worth dying over
• boyfriends leave, girlfriends leave, husbands leave, wives leave, children leave-- whether you can live with and by yourself is what really matters
• if you think being alone is "boring", you must not know yourself very well
• if you never want to be disappointed, become a hermit
• if you ever meet a hermit, remember, they have already experienced disappointment
• if you want friends, be a friend

Answer 2

I once received advice to prioritize self-care and set boundaries in my personal and professional life. This helped me reduce stress and improve my overall well-being. It made me realize the importance of taking care of myself first in order to be able to effectively help others.
