Is It a Good Idea to Seek Advice?

According to Sara Kuburic in USA Today, "Seeking advice is not something we need to avoid, but knowing when to ask , how to ask and who to ask for advice is important."

Vanessa Van Edwards at Science of People says, "Asking for advice is one of my favorite, most-overlooked people hacks because it helps you learn new things and bond with people."

The Most Common Words of Advice

You've received friendly advice your entire life: Don't take candy from strangers, don't eat with your mouth open, don't eat yellow snow, etc. If you're like me, the people whose advice you value rarely offer it. On the other hand, people whose opinions you don't value are standing in line trying to offer you suggestions.

The website Closer offers a number of Words of Wisdom parents tell their children:

  • Always try your best
  • If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all
  • Get an education - no one can take that away from you
  • Never spend money you don't have
  • If you don't ask, you don't get
  • Do your best, nothing else matters
  • You only get out of life what you put into it
