Reddit asked, “What’s a piece of advice you’ve received that initially seemed strange but turned out to be remarkably insightful?” Some of the responses:
– “Show me who your friends are and I’ll show you who you are. That quote saved me from a whole group of bad people and changed my life.”
– “My first boss told me just before firing me: you know how to work efficiently, but you don’t know how to look like you are working efficiently. Later in life hit me: people will look for percieved value even more than the real one you give.”
– “When you move the first thing you set up is your bedroom. When everything is chaos and you’re exhausted from moving boxes all day you have a place to crash that is ready for you.”
– “You need to get out of your own way.”
– “If someone is trying to intimidate you, stare at them confidently and say nothing. They will back off. I use it all the time on people now.”
– “Be careful of a funny man, he’ll laugh you into bed.”
– “If it was easy, everyone would do it.”
– “”Dump her back!” – my grandfather. His response when I told him my girlfriend broke up with me for another guy. I thought ‘Wtf?’ A few months later she tried to reconcile. I dumped her back.”
– “Add cinnamon to ground beef. It tastes great.”
– “Everyone gets told at least once in their life to just be yourself. And almost every teenager will do anything to fit in, which usually results in doing the exact opposite. It’s only later in life when most people realize that being yourself will indeed make you the happiest.”
* PHONE TOPIC: Do you remember any advice that made sense once you were older? Do you like cinnamon on ground beef?
