There is no wise way to say this

I’m not good at this advice-giving thing. I’m the one that looks for a wise answer. I could not make tutorial videos or give advice in a blog post. I can only give my opinion about things. They might not be wise, but I don’t give stupid ones.

I’m not good at advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment.

I couldn’t even give you a sarcastic comment. I can only tell about the things I know about or if I have experienced them. Even then, I’m sure others give much better advice than me.

I can help if I can, but if you ask me for advice about something else, then you should ask someone else. I can look it up if you want to know something. But if you expect me to write a blog post about it, then I’m not the one who can wise you up. Everyone is good at something and has things we can’t do. My weakness is giving advice, especially wise advice. Anyone can say what or how to do things. But if they make sense or not is a different matter.

Bloganuary: What is a life lesson you feel everyone can benefit from learning?

Day 15. Life lesson? Don’t ask me. I’m not the one who can give advice. But I can give you my opinion. Don’t compare yourself to others. Dare to be different. Your life doesn’t need to follow the same pattern as other people. So what if you’re friends already have a steady job and a family before they’re 30. It doesn’t mean anything. Be happy for other people but also focus on your own life. Enjoy your freedom. You can do what you feel, and no one can tell you how to be. If you don’t know what you want when you’re a teenager, then try different things. You will find your path sooner or later. People can judge you if you’re not the way they want you to be. It’s your life, and you can do what you want with it. You’re not on this planet to please other people. I believe things happen for a reason, and if nothing happens, then it isn’t meant to be. Accept the way things are. Some things you can’t do anything about. Do things that make you feel good. If other people don’t appreciate you the way you are, they’re not worth having around. Don’t let other people control you, and change for no one. Who knows you better than you. Respect other people’s opinions, and don’t start an argument because you don’t agree. Save money for a rainy day if you can. Don’t spend money on things you don’t need. Never judge a person by their appearance because it’s the inside that counts.

Maybe they are life lessons to live by. At least I do, but it doesn’t mean others need to follow them. Sometimes I forget my own life lessons, so I have to remind myself. They are more guidelines than lessons anyway.
