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.

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

This sounds like something that works better in theory than in practice

I had someone ask me a question once while I was pouting about having a bad day. "Did you have a bad day, or a bad 5 minutes that you are milking for the whole day?"

I learned this in treatment programs. When things are rough, you break your time down into incremental amounts that you can deal with. Keep it Simple, Stupid.

That's an interesting outlook. I immediately re-framed it as: 1) just got to the office, things to do first, 2) before lunch break, things I need to do today, 3) after lunch, fresh start, and 4) before end of day, things other folks need for tomorrow. Sort of relaxed the long list I keep.

I like Gretchen Rubin’s work. Her podcast is a fun and insightful listen too.

If I make repeated mistakes I go "Damn that was a bad ten minutes", I take a breath, reset and try to do better for the rest of the day. It means I don't have bad days. Today being an exception, The morning was crazy, great but crazy, but the afternoon, I got a bad bloody nose and suffered from iron/blood deficiency for the rest of the day. Meaning I wasn't thinking straight, making mistakes, not paying attention where I needed to be and shaky hands... which isn't great when you are carrying a tray of people's drinks. I dumped a root beer (caught the glass), knocked over a wine glass (aimed so it fell on the counter instead of the floor), elbowed my coworker, accidentally turned on the wine tap just as I finished cleaning the bar... Not my day, but definitely lots of lessons learned

Oh please. You know what's important? Feel that fail and learn from it. Good night's sleep and you're good to go.

That might work for you but it may not work for those with depression. A simple fail can make them feel worse about themselves before they can learn from it. Pile on a few simple fails that make them feel hopeless and they might even become suicidal.

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.
