“well, maybe dance like a couple people are watching” -Amy Shumer
- Don’t take advice for Amy Shumer. Or do.
Don’t forget to fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds distance run!
And the “by reading” and “by listening” are different crowds. Our OP appears to be the second, I’m more of the first but even more of the “by doing” (“by watching”, not useful unless I can do each step as simultaneously as possible). Audiobooks are a great invention but definitely not for me.
Also, some of us get our, ah, “life changing reading” from stories (novels, biographies), others from essays. The OP is the second type, I’m the first. Again something in which knowing which type of person you are is extremely important, as it can save you the frustration of trying to apply to yourself a model which does not fit.
When my son was six or so, I cautioned him against pissing into the wind.
He was shocked that I’d “said a bad word”. Apparently pee is ok, but piss is profane (to a six year old).
Machine Elf, thanks for pointing out which part of my post is true.
Why Child, yes that’s what I meant. I’ll edit it out.
Martian Bigfoot, thanks for understanding. Yes, that filters out most of my post, but it does filter different parts for everyone.
Nava, I agree with you.
Always pay off your credit cards in full.
Don’t play the Lottery.
Never play leapfrog with a unicorn.
My stars! This topic reminds me of a television program I saw once, starring a famous doctor named Philips MacGraw who goes by the nickname “Dr. Phil.” Have you heard of him? He is friends with Oprah Windfrey, who many of you may have heard of. She also has a TV show that is quite well known. On one episode, she told the audience to look under their seats, and when they did they found a gift! Maybe you could send a letter to Dr. Phil with your advice lessons, and who knows, he might mention you on his TV program. Who knows? 
[QUOTE=Why Child;19306508As far as “worthy information,” I would like to add, “Don’t fry bacon naked.” :D[/QUOTE]
OTOH, do fry naked bacon. The dressing happens later.
Everybody knows there’s no such thing as unicorns.
Trust is the first step on the road to betrayal.
I like giving advice that’s easy to follow.
Know what to kiss–and when.
I don’t want anything in return. I just feel good when I help. I figured, if I’m honest and tell everyone what I know, someone might enjoy that.
I believe that comes from this bit of wisdom?
What took ya so long?

Everybody’s life has problems all the time. It does not make you unique.
Run your own boat. Don’t expect other people to bail you out.
Follow the news. We live in the most mazing time in history.
Don’t eat the yellow snow or the brown acid.
And that goes double for the brown snow and the yellow acid.
