333 Entries for “advice”

  1. My mother gives good and bad advice. She claims it is her main function in life. She sends it to me in newspaper articles, in emails, by phone and by facebook, and sometimes I swear even in my dreams. This morning even though I live four hundred miles away from her, she spoke to me through the mirror, and told me what I should wear. In fact shes given me so much advice I now feel obliged to pass it on to you. So dear reader as she said to me this morning, flip flops don’t go with that.

  2. sometimes unwanted, sometimes shared among friends. I know I don’t always welcome it but with a seed of humility it can go a long way. I just wish that I wasn’t so stubborn, wasn’t so weak, wish i could take it

  3. Helpful, giving advice makes you a stronger and more sensible person giving advice helps you and the receiver grow as humans adobe can not harm someone they listen and can do with it what they want..

    Gigi
  4. I have found that giving advice can be dangerous. One must be sure that the intended recipient actually wants advice. Sometimes people just want you to listen and shut up about it.

  5. I asked my best friend for advice when I couldn’t find my cat. She suggested that I look in the neighbor’s barn since that is a feeding ground of delicious mice. As I quickly made my way over, I decided that Oreo needed a collar with a bell. I swear that cat will be the death of me.

  6. Don’t give me advice about anything. I think I know what I am doing. In fact, I knwo what I am doing. Advice is just something someone gives you that makes you feel inferior and stupid for needing it. It makes the giver feel superior and the receiver like a dumbass for not thinking of it himself. So don’t give any. Give it up!

  7. i need you to sit me down and give me all your best advice. i want the truth, even if it hurts. spare me the time and stop letting me down so easily. i want you to tell me just like it is. what i’ve done, what i should of done, what i do, what i should stop doing. i need your guidance. i want your guidance baby.

  8. sometimes I like to give it and sometimes I like to receive it. I think I could really use some advice right now! My life feels like it’s spinning out of control. I’m at home pregnant and I’m about to get married in 2 weeks to man I haven’t even known a year. what to do!?

  9. we all need it. we all want it. but whenever its given we never listen. we say thats not true. maybe we cant admit the truth to ourselves and thats why we never listen.

  10. i think advice is a tricky word, at first i was thinking maybe i am good at giving advice but now i no longer do. like i have no right to. i am a messed up very flawed human being, who the hell wants advice from the girl who fucking got drunk and cheated on her boyfriend? i sure wouldn’t want it from her she would know nothing

  11. i would like to give you some advice, but i feel that in doing so my bias will seep through, leak through, settle somewhere, perhaps tangle into almost every letter of every word and then i’ll sit there, as if naked, hoping that you think i’m wearing tight fitted nude clothing – or are too busy looking out your own window to notice the worry on my face.

  12. “I love you, I really do..”
    “I know you do. And I love you too. But you have to save yourself. You have to save yourself and your secrets and wait. Wait for the right guy.”
    “So saying you’re not the right guy for me?”
    “I’m not saying I am or I’m not. But I know that I adore you and I always will. But you have to wait. Because when you find the right person, you’ll be so happy that you saved a secret no one else has seen.”

  13. Advice is something that is given to help someone out in a particular situation. It can be given by anyone and is meant to help them find a solution. I love giving advice and I hope others find mine helpful.

    Sadie Albert
  14. Be wise enough to take the right advice or suffer the consequences that are never nice.

  15. little more than sadness that is retold in a manner to make it appear as wisdom. Too many times it goes unheeded because it’s easier to believe that we are alone in our problems than to believe that there is somebody who’d like to save us from making the same mistake they did. What is left are words

    Alicia Farrar
  16. I did not ask for it why do you give it to me, how do you know I want it

  17. The best advice is always given by me
    but I never know how to take it.
    And, I only know how to fake it.
    Every relationship is built and assembled
    Yet, I only know how to destroy mine.
    I could beat myself up for days
    but write books on how to fall in love.
    The best advice I could give,
    I will never take.

    Natalie
  18. I wish I could give you some, but I’m never quite sure myself. If there’s anything I could tell you, it’s not to let yourself second and third and fourth-guess yourself. It only holds you back from your dreams and goals. You’ll never reach your full potential.

  19. giving, getting. it’s all the same. helpful. yes. needed. sometimes. whatever the circumstance, it’s nice to have. second opinions are important to gain perspective. without perspective, what are we doing? how can we understand a little about so much without perspective? it can’t be done. thus, advice is significant.

    Sierra
  20. i really like advice. Though sometimes it can reeeeally hurt, it keeps us alllf from going insane. It makes a good book too. I really think any plot can be either watered down or thickened from half a page of advice. Whether its good or bad, that depends on the author.

    Kora
  21. waiting
    waiting
    for his lips
    they shine
    they dont give me words
    she once told me
    he would come
    he would start
    she once told me things
    i believed her words
    i am waiting for him to come
    i am waiting for him to starts
    i dont believe her words

  22. The best advice I can give anyone: appreciate your life where you’re at. Never be in a rush to grow up. Don’t rush to fall in love. Don’t compare yourself to the standard that others may set. You are who you are. You take the chances you want to take. You know yourself better than others know you. Now go live your life.

    Robyn
  23. my advice to all a y’all: dont hate, appreciate. jk. irritateed right now, need a distraction!

  24. What we think about when we instantly have a problem. we need this to get though the dumbest of situations or at least we think we do. This is often one of the biggest mistakes we make because we take dumb advice from randos that don’t know shit. Think about what you’re hearing. Don’t just take it. The biggest lie I ever hear is that someone is “good at giving advice.”

  25. i should have followed their advice. too late now. im not saying im not happy this way. but i just believe i could be happier, had i followed the good advice i recieved that night. too little too late, my decision was made, and told. now what? ive not a clue.

    Rachel
  26. “Can I tell you something?”
    “Sure.”
    “Its not a good idea to lie about what color your shirt is.”
    I raised my eyebrows and tried not to smile. “Really?”
    He shrugged his shoulders. “Hey, just thought you’d like to know.”
    Then he leaned over and kissed me.

  27. I have plenty of advice. I just choose not to give it to people. Because one way or another, it’s not compatible. I don’t know exactly how Susan’s boyfriend is treating, or why John just can’t make friends. I can try to know, or pretend to know. But a pretender doesn’t really have real advice to give. Just vignettes and hope. One of which could be false.

    Belinda Roddie
  28. It helps. It’s useful. Sometimes ignored. Not alway accurate, but it is the thought that counts. Helpful. Comes from caring friends. I often need it. I often give it even if I don’t know what I’m talking about. It’s great. Sometimes.

    Reebs
  29. She told him to go sit and think. So he meandered over to the corner, purposely looking as if he didn’t care. He slumped down, back to the wall. And he thought. He thought of cloaks and clocks and dragons and baboons.

  30. I’ve always thought advice can be both good and bad– depending on who’s giving it. Most of my friends say that they come to me for advice because I’m “sensible and know what to do,” but little do they know how scared I am to try and provide them with advice. I still go to my mother for my own advice, but sometimes I wonder if she can truly be right.

    Carmen
  31. I can’t seem to follow my own advice. Friends consistently turn to moi for, get this… relationship tips. People please, what makes you think I know what I’m talking about? I have no single clue about relationships, why do you think I’ve been single for months on end?
    Friend: “What should I do if my boyfriend cheats on me??”
    Me: “Ummm. Kiss his best friend??”

    Allie
  32. Yes please! give me your advice, I’m desperate.

    Oh, I see, that’s what you think

    Hmmm, thanks for that, I’ll keep it in mind

    Advice – take it or leave it, we all initially seek it

    We hardly ever use it!

  33. adivice is something that you can take in and treasure forever, like when youre mom adivised taht having a child is the treasure for life, well, she has given you advise that you wil hold in your arms and say good bye to one day, but you’ll alwas have the advice!!!

    Courtney
  34. Advice. Crime by advertisement: ad vice.
    Advice is tricky. Difficult to receive or offer. Need to be careful.

  35. you owe me your best advice,
    anything that can help will suffice,
    you got me hooked,
    I was hypnotized,

    you used to pull the strings,
    had my stomache in a backwards upswing,
    but you broke every bone,
    and left me alone and hanging.

    jess
  36. “a friendly bit of advice?” she smirked, sparing the girl a sultry glance. “men don’t think with their stomachs. they think with their dicks.” she slunk off into the night, leaving her junior stunned in place. shaking her head, she sighed and went home, trying to forget that one cousin but simply not able to. five years later, she saw a girl sitting dejected on a park bench, and plastered on a smirk just for her.

  37. Something someone who truly cares about others gives. Talking to another person about them, not yourself. A time to let all your own thoughts and worries go, and to think about the other person. You have no problems at this time. You can let go of stress. You sit, listen, and talk about how to make another person better. That is one of the best feelings a person can truly have, making a difference in another hum being’s life. I know it’s one of mine.

    Avery
  38. advice is never really as important as it seems. Usually the best advice you get is probably the wrong advice. No one knows for sure if anyone ever really knows what they’re talking about but they take that chance every day.

    Angela
  39. I love giving advice to people. It is also really nice to give advice about anything. School, love, friends. Anything. But sometimes we lack communication when giving advice. Most of the time we do not really think about the advice we are giving. The harsh tone we may use. Advice is advice.

    Camille
  40. I guess the best advice I ever got didn’t come in the form of words. I watched her live by loving everyone and giving everything she had to those she loved. She was amazing, the best rolemodel possible. No advice will ever beat her life.
