What's the worst advice you've ever gotten?

Reader's Digest had this in their book.  I loved the advice the mother gave to her son.  He just joined the military and was on his way as a pilot to a country at war.  She said, "fly low and slow".  (Hoping he'd be safe).  

 

Have you had any great advice lately?

Easy one.  Worst was from second opinion cardiologist:   you need a pacemaker.    

 

4 Dr. including my regular cardiologist and new one said NO you didn't need it.   Well, just great, here I am with one.

There is good in all people so try to see it. I'm sorry but I do not believe there is good in all people.

None.  I don't ask for anyone's advice, nor accept unsolicited advice.

 

That way - I have no one to blame but myself!

35 years ago Newsweek included in one article: " a woman over 40 has a better chance of being killed by a terrorist than getting married".  I married that year; at 40!!

@roxxy1   Actually both.  Topic ask one thing, post asks another.  I am confused too.  confused.gif

To put money into tech stocks, then i lost it all. When market crashed, never put all  your eggs in one basket.
