Advice is one of those things you can never have enough of. In fact, it’s exactly those of us who don’t think we need any advice who most likely need the most. But of course, there is also good advice and bad advice. We should be more interested in the former. And of course, in this list that is what we are going to concern ourselves with, the good bits of advice.
Generally speaking, however, you need to somehow filter the advice that you receive. So how do you that? Well, you go by the trustworthiness of the person saying it. And since we here at List25 are obviously some of the most trustworthy people you know, you should definitely take our advice. Okay, so we’re being a bit ridiculous, but in all honestly, these aren’t our bits of advice. These are things that people far wiser than us have said and we’re just playing the role of messengers. So don’t shoot us. If these bits of advice don’t work out, well, maybe you can end up sharing your own bit of advice. And then we’ll add you to our list. Well, probably not, but for better or for worse, here are 25 bits of advice that we all need to hear!
