Considering the Source

'Tell me why do I find that the blind is always tryin' to lead the blind, they always go something to say everyday about the way you do your thing...' -Mya

Why does it always seem that people always want to tell you things that they know nothing about? I think people just have a natural reaction to say something or offer some advice on everything just to seem as though they're paying attention to the conversation. Well here's a word of advice, DON'T SPEAK ON THINGS YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!! I mean this in the nicest way possible. =)

I can understand wanting to help friends and offer encouraging words to help your friends, but most of the time if you dont know what you're talking about then you're doing more damage than good. But the people who give the advice aren't the only culprits in this case, the people who TAKE the advice are as much to blame for most of their outcomes. If you take advice from someone you know doesn't know what they're talking about or doesn't think along the lines that you do, then you have no one to blame but yourself.

Think about it, why would you ask someone who lives their life in a completely different manner than you do on anything even remotely important? That's like asking a crackhead to do your taxes, it just doesn't make any sense. In all honesty, there is no 'right' answer for taking advice from someone, it's all up to your discrestion. People listen to what they want to hear most of the time, so just use your own good judgement to determine what works best for you. But keep in mind, the best advice comes from people who have actually been what you're going through, not the ones who can only imagine it.

Until next time folks '...Keep calm and carry on'
