What Advice do you have to Offer<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyday someone is offering us advice on one thing or another. Often, it’s helpful. Other times we take it for granted and let it go with the wind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The other day a piece of advice once given to me popped to mind. And although I didn’t follow it years back, I still remember what was said. I’m wondering now, if I had taken it, how big of a difference it would’ve made in my life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I thought it would be nice to ask some of my more influential friends on advice given to them, at one point or another during their life, that they’ve stuck to (rather than neglecting it like I had).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s their replies.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I was riding back from a hard day in grad school. New York City. Just found out that I was about 10k short for my tuition. I was sobbing on the A train. I fought the tears, but they were just pouring. I put on my sunglasses, but the well of Tears Would Not Stop<\/em><\/strong>,” recalled the Actress when I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A man was sitting across from me. He was probably in his early 40\u2019s. At his stop- he stood up and as the doors opened, he leaned over to me and said: “smile, whatever it is, it can\u2019t be that hard<\/em><\/strong>.” And just like that-He exited humming the song \u201cSmile\u201d By Nat King Cole.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
