Advice in life

Hello there folks. Just another blog rant I'm writing up tonight about some things I have experienced for a while. Will not try to go too far into details and keep it simple but let's have a go.

Lately I have been getting advice from several different people about life. Whether it be coworkers, friends, family, or strangers or people on the internet that are very loosely considered people that I know. I call this loose because on our internet chat and forum ventures, we generally do not get to know the person up front and personal like that of our friends that we meet growing up or in grade school, high school, and college.

So taking everything into account, my own father explained several times the following: advice you get from someone is only worth as much as you paid for it. If the advice was free, guess how much it is worth? nothing. Now, this doesn't apply to every aspect of advice but you have to understand that there are certain people who have different views from yours and quite possibly were not raised with the proper moral upbringing and/or fell into some ruts along the way.

I can't really take advice from people who hang out with dealers, are dealers, or use drugs or habitually become drunks in their life. These type of people need to clean up and get a proper education before being able to hand out solid advice. I, myself, have not fallen into such evil traps in my time and likewise I have not had the proper education to give people all the answers for their life troubles and I know this. But when people come to me for advice, I tell them pretty much the same things anyone that has a stable mind would tell them, even if it is advice that I personally fail to follow on my own.

So anyway, in closing, whenever people give advice I say just sort through it, look at where they are coming from, how they have dealt with issues, ask yourself if they are still dealing with issues and then proceed on your own judgement to see if their advice is worthwhile or not. I find most of the time people involved in destroying their own mind and body with illegal poisons generally do not give out the most practical advice and, on top of that, are just trying to bolster their own self esteem which quite possibly had been lost in their own misdeeds.

The best advice you can get is from people who are well established and especially people who have proper training and a college degree in that field. If ever in doubt, it is a very good idea to seek out those types of people. You will learn a lot and if you have to pay for it, it is money well spent.

The best advice doesn't come from people with quack degrees and college education. Especially life advice. Life advice is all about the experience that results from trial and error over the years. Thusly so, anyone of a ripe age and clear mind and conscious would be the one to listen to.
 
I used to think this way as well because over the years I have had many people (usually on the internet or undereducated students still attending their first years of college) telling me exactly the same thing. However professionals have a lot of resources which most people commonly either overlook or don't look into. Everyone has access to the same information in this country but sometimes it takes someone that has proper training to point out where it is or show it to you. One not in these fields is not just going to all in the sudden drop it in your lap.

Most of the time I come across people who are bible thumpers. This is fine but you can't really learn everything or much at all from the bible I have found. In just my opinion, the bible and church are good things but should come into play after your head has become level minded and at which point one can quite possibly accept whichever religion he/she is attending since their mind will be clear enough to understand more what is going on around them.

I mean, life advice. Professional advice is one thing, but the best advice comes from people like my grandparents. Someone who has seen many things, having gone through life with few regrets, and not effected by eccentricity and Alzheimers. People usually learn over the years that the best way to communicate your religious views is to not be vocal. People have to ask first. Because when someone asks a question, they willingly learn.

You might be surprised how much can still apply.

    Speaking of meatballs, what's the deal with meatball sandwich? How can people eat those? It's ROUND. Trying to bite those in a sandwich is a challenge. It's easier to eat a burger stacked with toppings. :ninja:
