I only do what my gut tells me to. I think it's smart to listen to other people's advice, but at the end of the day, you're the only one who can tell you what's right for you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If someone needs help, I can offer advice. I'm not always right and people don't always listen.
I tell people, Don't take my advice. What do I know?
I've received many good pieces of advice throughout my life.
The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right.
I try not to give too much advice, really, because people have to do their things their way. I got lots of advice when I was young, and I ignored most of it - the good and the bad.
My concept of an advice giver had been a therapist or a know-it-all, and then I realized nobody listens to the know-it-alls. You turn to the people you know, the friend who has been in the thick of it or messed up - and I'm that person for sure.
It's good to say, 'Look, I can't always be right, but my gut tells me this' - and then you confirm with your gut.
If you listen to everybody's opinions, I mean, I always say I'd be digging a ditch on the side of the road now if I had listened to what everybody told me what to do. You know, you have to follow your heart, you have to.
I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.
I never take advice from anyone more messed up than I am.
