Pass It Forward: Old-Fashioned Priceless Advice

In this article, I want to share a few pieces of information I’ve picked up along this continually changing journey of life. Whether you heed them or not, I think it’s always interesting to ponder on any advice presented. So I knew eventually I had to make an article of my own about priceless advice, and here it is.

Let’s keep it simple and straight to the point.

Some Old-Fashioned Priceless Advice

• Don’t give advice unless asked. (Appropriately the first one)

• Don’t give away information easily. People will use it for opportunistic gains given the chance (and your consent from disclosure).

• There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Always consider repayment, even when it’s a “gift”. Especially true in relationships.

• The noose of morality tightens as you age.

• Be very on-edge around pushy people. They are the most likely to change.

• Status can be everything. Especially if you let it be.

• The absolute worst emotion is regret.

• Never surrender your masculinity, but know how to utilize it correctly.

• Don’t try to change people.

• Teach yourself how to recognize betrayal quickly. Then act accordingly.

• Happiness really is in the small things. Money will buy you security, not satisfaction.

• Meditation (in whatever form) is sanity.

• Perseverance pays dividends, especially over decades.

• Other people will always have things you envy. That’s not their fault; it’s your emotion. And likewise, people will probably envy you as well. Don’t let it get to your head.

• Discipline early leads to comfort later.

• Don’t take risks. Take calculated risks. A risk is only worthwhile if it is worth the reward.

• Fear is one of your best emotions. Be afraid. Then do it anyway.

• You’re not required to set yourself on fire to keep others warm.
