Good Afternoon Shoppers!
How many times in life does this quote ring true for you? We hate to have some people give us advice because we know how badly they need it themselves. ~Author Unknown
Like the "bad" parent who lectures you on child-rearing, or the financial flubber who tells you how to save....or the high school drop-out who refuses to get their GED but lectures you? (these are just made up examples!)...
I often wonder why humans are so prone to being able to GIVE good advice, yet it's so upheavingly difficult to follow it! Myself included!
What would you say your weakness is for giving advice? My rants go on and on but only prove that I'm a hippocrite in my own little world. I'm sure we're all guilty of it!
But too, you have to think that some advice is given out of EXPERIENCE and it's not as if we can CHANGE the past....so our advice isn't necessarily because we've lived to tell, but because we've lived to tell others what the OTHER side of that coin looks like!
Heads....Tails.........how do you call it?
