Ah, advice. We dish it out like an all-you-can-eat buffet but receive it like a picky toddler faced with broccoli.
We love playing life’s backseat driver, don’t we? “Turn left at Success Street! No, your other left!”
But here’s a wild idea: What if we put a sock in it and opened our ears instead?
Mark Twain said, “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”
Try this revolutionary approach:
- Offer advice sparingly (like you’re paying for each word)
- Welcome advice abundantly (like it’s free pizza)
The result? You’ll grow faster than a teenager in a growth spurt, and people will respect you more than a librarian in a quiet zone.
Sometimes, the best advice is no advice at all. As the old saying goes, “Silence is golden unless you have a toddler, then silence is suspicious.”
