Often, I intuitively know something but realize it only after someone says it out loud. If it's a movie insight, then there's no big deal. But if we're talking about an important life lesson, I sure as heck would've liked figuring it out by myself earlier rather than later.
So when I saw this post on r/AskReddit by u/PeakABoo_IFKU, I knew I was in for a treat. The Redditor asked: "What is the best advice you can give someone?" And after scrolling through some 2,000 comments, I think you'd like to see the best ones as well. From taking care of your body to working on your mind, continue scrolling and check them out!

Imagine all the time that you spend worrying about your embarrassing moments. Now understand that almost everyone else does the same. Nobody is thinking about your embarrassing things. Just their own. I find this idea freeing.
Hans 4 years ago
Actually, I remember both the embarassing things that I did and that others did...realizing that everybody is continuously doing mildly stupid things is freeing as suggested above, though. Moreover, I guess we tend to overrate the "level" of embarassment of stupid things, i.e. the same mishap we would find more embarassing when happening to ourself to when we observe it from others.
Heather Vandegrift 4 years ago
I think we also perceive that others form a more negative opinion of us when we do something that embarrasses us, but we consider the same kinda of things done by others, it either doesn't affect how we see them, or may even improve it, because humans being HUMAN and making mildly stupid mistakes makes us empathize with them. Other people are likely just as empathetic towards our mistakes as we are to theirs!

So very true. I realized this around the age of 20 and have to constantly remind my husband that EVERYONE believes the whole world is constantly looking at and judging them but the truth is, we're all so wrapped up in ourselves that we don't even notice the things other people are going through. Sometimes that's a good thing but I think more often than not, it blinds us to the suffering of others and we don't get to see just how much we truly have in common with one another.

I think some folks are missing the point. It’s not necessarily the kids themselves that are the problem though there are quite a number of genetic traits & illnesses to consider. It’s that once you have children with someone you’re tied to them for the rest of your life. Not necessarily married to them but coparenting, a lifetime of family events, potential drama & ill will, etc.

I can't believe politics has any involvement in a science matter. Choose science and get a vaccine.

Yes they are now FDA approved. Just like the vaccines that people got for smallpox, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, chicken pox, shingles, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, pneumonia, and influenza. Do you know anybody who died of smallpox? Do you know anybody who currently lives in an iron lung? If the answer is no that's because of vaccines. Did you know that the concept of vaccination has been around for over 225 years? Diseases have only one question for you: are you a human being? Politics have nothing to do with it. And if you choose not to get vaccinate,d then kindly isolate your body from the rest of us so that you don't make innocent people sick.

i do find it a little disappointing that a lot of people don't want to get it, and make up such odd excuses. "but what if it kills me like that one guy on the news the other day-" car crashes have a higher mortality rate! carbon monoxide poisoning has a likelier chance! getting covid is more likely to kill you! it's not fair on those who are dying from something you could have helped prevent because of a small percent of special cases. if you're worried about spreading it despite the vaccine, or feel like it wont work anyways, stay home + quarantine or go move out to the middle of nowhere and take a year of solitude. might be good for the mind.

I am now proudly vaccinated and have no regrets. People think it was produced to quickly, false, they have been working on it for years. People say they are implanting microchips, false. That's illegal. And so much more. Most who refuse the vaccine are and have had their children vaccinated against every other disease but nit this one. What is the difference? Sooooooo, before you spew hate and allow your ignorance to shine, please at least do your homework. Research the vaccine. The positive effects out weigh the negative astronomically. All vaccines have side effects just as the medications that you put into your body daily without hesitation.

Expect nothing, and appreciate everything.
That Girl 4 years ago
Nice idea but I think having no expectations ever isn't a great idea, like it could lead to other issues like apathy. I think having expectations is important for growth.
Daria B 4 years ago (edited)
I agree both with your point and the point of this entry. However, I think it's a matter of linguistics. "Expectation" is an ambiguous word. I believe, in this instance, it indicates what we call "entitlement" (which, again, in itself isn't necessarily a bad thing, a healthy dose of self-appreciation can be beneficial both for the individual and the society as a whole, the problem is when it gets to irrational levels). From what I understood, you're talking about having something to looking forward to. And, in that aspect, you're right. Sure, when these kinds of expectations aren't met, disappointment hurts. But happiness has no value without the painful moments, so here we just go by the famous saying "hope for the best, expect the worst".

Even if people don't have bad intentions, proper documentation can clarify the past where human memory fails. Your boss may not have bad intentions when they send you an email telling you to stop working on one project to do another, and then saying he never told you to do that when the first client calls for status on their project and needs to up the timeline. People forget, or think they did something when they didn't (a lot of us type emails to people and then get pulled away by something else and forget to send them). Making sure all conversations are documented in writing makes sure they're is a "hard copy" of something so that fallible human memory can't cause issues.

If I am signing something with a lot of pages, I sit and read, and I mean READ every single page. I don't care how long it takes to do that even if the person who gave it to me is getting annoyed at how long its taking. I'm signing this and so I want to know what it says. If there's any disclaimers I don't understand you're going to get asked to explain. When I worked in Day Surgery it was occasionally noted in the chart that the surgeon had previously explained everything and so we could get the consent. Patients would tell us they don't need to read it. Just give it to them and they'll sign. The thing is, it also contained the risks of anesthesia, like you could die. Nope. Argue with me and I'll stand there and read all of it to you. We are allowed to witness it, but it is witness to signature only, not that they understand it. But they can't say they didn't know what it said.

I don't mind people telling me how they're not ok, it can be therapeutic for them to share what they're feeling. Sometimes all someone needs is some compassion to realize that it's ok to not be ok.

Soooo many kids have spent 3+ years grafting, racking up massive debt, and can't find work, because they were sold a dream about going to college. Lifelong learning and study?

I'm all for life long learning, but I can't handle the whole college thing of assignments, reports, essays, exams, all those kinds of things. I want to learn about things I am interested in but simply for knowledge's sake. I would love to go and take classes in what I'm interested in and have the opportunity to research what I have heard in lectures. All for learning sake. If it turns out to be not what I thought it would be, I can walk away. I'd be willing to pay for this, but at a lot less cost than actually "going to college". There are things that I know very well and am capable of learning at a college level. Dont count me out on that.

I recently returned to school, 15 years after my original attempt. I only went to college after High School because I thought that's what I was supposed to do. I didn't have any idea what I wanted to study, and I wasn't in any way ready to be attending. All of these years later, I actually appreciate learning and being a student. I strive to do well, and I understand the financial sacrifice. I am ready now; the only qualifier I previously had was being the right age. It is such a vastly different experience, and I'm glad that I went back! I believe that is what this commented was intending to mean...
Jessi Carroll 4 years ago
I agree. If you don't know what you want to do don't waste people's(parents that take loans out for you, grants/scholarships of people that take things seriously) most kids go because it's "expected" of them and to continue to party. Personality I think the beginning of college"required" classes should be high school classes or free due to every student having to take these! But don't go to college just to say you've been to college there are plenty of jobs-vocational schools that are better. Especially if you don't know what you want to do as a job.

Forgive does not mean you tolerate what they’ve done or that what they did was okay- but it is meant to free YOU. So you can move forward and reclaim the power you feel you’ve lost. You can be compassionately wrathful and stand up for what’s right without hate in your heart. Hate only hurts you in the end. Ie.

If you have to burry a body do so vertically. This way the search helicopters would have a harder time spotting the burial site as they would be looking for a human-sized patch of disturbed ground. When burying, have a bit of a buffer zone separated by dirt and top it with some bits of animal carcass before covering so the search team would assume that it was a false positive given by the k-9 when they are digging the spot up. Yogurt in the cavities would speed up the decomposition process and hinder identification. Top it off by planting an endangered plant on top. By the time they got the correct paperwork in place to dig that plant up, hopefully that yogurt would have finished the job or you’d be far away from there.
