Almost every day we hear something useful or we give a piece of advice ourselves. Twitter user @chrishlad thought of an idea to go through Reddit’s Life Pro Tips and find the best life tips that everyone would like to know. 

The user started his Twitter post with the statement “most advice sucks”. So he then went through all of the advice section that was given by almost 20 million people on Reddit and shared 10 most useful and practical tips that would help people in life.

Which one of these you would’ve like to know years ago? Or maybe you have an even better piece of advice that people should follow? Don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments down below!

There's a reason people get angry, they think you knew better or should have known and think you're messing with them. It's all about empathy. On all sides. To me it's up to the person that actually should know better to act responsible.

Even though Chris shares a lot of information about business and technology, he also gives some tips that can be useful to everyone. This particular tweet received 15k likes and made people online also join the discussion and share their own advice.

My adult son and I love to argue about current events, politics, etc. We will argue about something, and often one of us will say, "How do you know? Where did you get that info?" And the other will often say, "Well, I guess I don't know for sure...I can't remember the details. If I can find a source, I'll let you know." And then the understanding is that neither of us knows enough at that point to have an educated opinion and we move on. It's worked well for us.

Impassioned debate! I used to do that with my mum. One of my sisters used to think we were arguing but it was just heated, not angry, and we cared about the other's opinion.

That's why it is so hard to reason with religious people, they want to believe and don't care if it's true.

Hi, religious person here! I would like to help you understand anything you don't, and maybe assist you in your understanding of religion in general! Feel free to use reason, I've been using it all along :).

Or if their answer contravenes the laws of physics, or is in any other way demonstrably impossible. In other words, know when to cut your losses and recognise a pigeon

Asking this question is already a waste of your time. They'll give you an answer but you'll never be able to provide them the proof which they stated they wanted, regardless of how factual the proof you provide is.

Usually you don't know what will convince you til you are convinced.

How 'bout a valid, non-conspiracy-filled answer? Try this technique with the anti-vax nitwits, and see how far you get. You are, however, correct in stating don't waste your time.

Some people don't want evidence--they want their prejudices confirmed.

I say that is tough to answer. If I knew of what proof would change my mind, my mind would allready have been changed...

Especially for covidiots, anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers. Let them get sick and hopefully die.

My mother and I ended a number of arguments with, "Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree", and then we change the subject.

The answer is "I don't know". If I knew what proof would change my mind, I would probably change my mind already.

some people have a mind like a steel trap... closed, slammed shut, can't be opened except with considerable effort

Also good for if you misheard something innocent as an insult.

Don't vent to anyone at work. They don't care and they have their own issues. If you vent to the company snitch - the one who tells the boss everything - you could be making a big mistake. And if you vent to someone who wants your job, you could give them the ammunition they need to get it. Just keep your mouth closed and if things are that bad, come home and vent to your cat. Or set aside time to speak privately with your boss, keeping in the back of your mind that you should probably start looking for another job.

I used to suffer badly with PTSD and this helped enormously. It was often too much to face 'breaking the day down hour by hour' but quarters, I could do. They work better around your life pattern - even if you're at work, there's a clean line between the quarters and especially in PTSD or Anxiety which relies on adrenaline... You're rarely ever feeling quite as bad as you did 4 hours ago. Obviously sometimes the adrenaline came back that day, but drawing a line around each quarter really helped move on from it x

It doesn't all have to be the most profound. Even if some of it doesn't age well - like 'always use a six-shooter in a duel' - it may end up being pretty funny. Or at least a 'I can't believe they used to think like that' moment.
