Sometimes Good, Sometimes Speechless

Throughout life, everyone receives advice. Sometimes they are good and sometimes they are bad to the point where you are just speechless. Today, I want to share one of the best advice I received in my life and one of the worst.

It's a great to win but sometimes winning isn't everything. One of the best advice I ever learned in life was to let others win the argument. For example, I am arguing with someone and I know I'm right but most of the time it's not worth to argue and try to "win" the argument. Sometimes people are just set in on their own thinking that it's not worth potentially ruining the mood or friendship etc. Of course, this can't be applied to every situation. I'm talking more about the small things but if it's deep like someone's accusing you of stealing, then yes please argue and defend yourself.

On the other hand, the worst advice I ever got was related to getting a girlfriend. This was advice from my grandpa. I remember a few years back my grandpa was asking me where was my girlfriend. I told him I didn't have one and he was like it's so easy to get one. You just have to go see one that you like and just keep disturbing them. Then he went on about marriage and to come to him for any advice even for sex. Honestly, he has tried to pass his wisdom down to me and my cousins. Some of the advice he gave us are questionable but we all know in the end he has good intentions. He just wants the best for us.

That's all from me today. For those that gave me good advice in life, thank you so much and I appreciate it a lot because I wouldn't be where I am today without some of that wisdom. If you're reading this mom, Happy Birthday. I hope you all have a great weekend!

let others win the argument, wow..I like this advice. Sometimes we just don't need to stress ourselves over everything. That's a good advice
And then ur grandpa..hmmm
That advice is indeed questionable, however people with different perspectives about life 😄

Happy birthday to your mum
May she live long and excel 🎊🎉

yes o.o let others win argument :P. no stress and no waste time and energy haha.

ya I think maybe that's how it was for his time. maybe that was the boomer thing to do and it actually worked but I'm not too sure if it can be applied to the times now x.x

Yes haha it's my moms bday. She lives across the world though so can only properly celebrate when she visits later this year

thanks for your kind words :3 and reading my post

The pleasure is mine

Enjoy your weekend

hey you have a great weekend as well !

I agree with you, there is good and bad advice and it is up to us to put them on a scale and know how to make the right decision.

for sure and if we mess up we learn from it and pass to others!

Thank you for your time and hope you are having a great weekend
