What advice would you give to younger people?

What advice would you give to younger people about anything?What advice would you give to younger people?
Always be truthful in your life come whatever may! If you truly want to succeed in life... being truthful is the most essential ingredient in the journey of life.





Secondly, you need to develop a goal in life early. The sooner you do it... the better for you! When 11 years of age I wanted to meet God in this very life! By 13 my desire had turned into conviction. At 15 years of age I gave notice to my mother that I wanted to leave the confines of the family to meditate in isolation of the jungles (forests) for which she did not permit.





I continued in the journey of God while living in the family. My goal of life was absolutely clear to me. Come whatever may... I shall meet God in this very life. At 37 years of age... I came face-to-face with God on one-to-one basis. I had realized God. This is my last manifestation as a human being. I can but attain salvation (moksha) and enter the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism) the moment I leave my mortal frame.





Patience, persistence and perseverance need to be practiced as we do it in India. They go a long way in maintaining a balance in life. If you truly desire to become a Bill Gates in your life... form a goal in life... put all your eggs in one basket and thrust ahead in the journey of life. You shall definitely succeed!

dont say life is short what can u possible do thats longer?


but on serious note- dont let me get you down,cause it effects you and thats all they want to see-so smile cause it confuses people.


=)
Life is short, never pass anything up. If you want it, go for it.
Discover what your true potential as a human is, beyond all the programming and disinformation fed to you by all of the culturally approved institutions.





Meditate and exercise regularly. Perhaps 1 or 2 in 10 will have the wisdom and insight to take this advice, thus having the chance to become other than just another clone. see http://www.montalk.net for helpful thoughts.





Best of luck, you'll need it on this planet. :))
Stay in school as long as you can, learn all you can, it will make a huge difference in your life. Enjoy your childhood, and teen years, and don't be so hard on your parents. Never be ashamed because you make a mistake, you will learn from it and probably be a better person because of it. Do something for someone, ask nothing in return except that someday they do something for someone. You may think that you are smart at 16, but at 25 you will look back and think of what an idiot you were. Then at 35 you will look back and think of what a fool you were at 25. Live life to it's fullest, love with all your heart, and laugh often.
Don't pass it up because you think you'll make up for it later...because any you get later, you would have gotten anyway.


(Wise advice I once got from an older brother)
Work on their sense of consequence, that's about the only thing teenagers are missing, well I'm thinking positive..
Cultivate detachment from your emotions, learn the value of humility and realize that your life is only superficially about you.
Dont post stupid questions on the internet.
You think you're so smart at 16, but when you turn 25 you realize what an idiot you truly were, especially in love.
stop worrying about what other people are thinking, you don't have to impress anyone.
Probably the same things your parents tell you.





Don't give into peer pressure, if someone says they will not be your friend if you don't do something you know is wrong or just doesn't feel right, they weren't your friend in the first place.





Respect yourself and others for the individuals you and they are.





Take care of your own things, and take of someone else's even better.





Don't go out with or befriend anyone who doesn't respect you or tries to hurt you.





You shouldn't go out with or befriend someone for what they can do for you or give you, like money, nice things etc.





Things don't buy real happiness, good relationships are all the riches you need, you can work for the rest.
What makes me equipped to dole out advice to others? First, let me take out the mote from my own eyes.
First you are smart at 16. No matter what anyone says. When you turn 20 it is just that....you are amazed at how much your parents learned in four years.





Advice....think...actions and consequences.





Whatever it is you do....think. For every action of decision....a door or opportunity closes. You need to understand that you do not have the choice to not open doors. You MUST choose doors constantly, but you can never go back. So choose wisely by thinking first.





Make your decisions bravely and always go forward without fear or self-recrimination. You will make mistakes. Learn from them. Think.





When the last door is available to you at life's end, make sure you are ready for what lays ahead.





If you have thought and have sought, you should have the right answer and your choices upon reflection will have proven worthwhile and useful.
To be more responsible than they are.





But the sense of responsibility comes later I guess.
Show kindness towards all living things and be careful with credit cards.
Floss.
Every five years you will be astonished at how foolish you were five years ago.





You will live far, far longer than you expect to.
Examine your most sacred thoughts, always.
Ask everyone you respect their opinion, then follow your gut.

I need smart advice on what types of people in NYC could use a Personal Assistant?

This is a serious question. I am currently working for a real creep and I must make a change, I'm a good PA with great references. I don't want to use agencies, and I cannot post my resume on line due to the people I have worked for. I had my own postcards made up and I'm trying to figure out how to obtain names and addresses of people that could benefit from my services. Companies are easy to find but the employees names are not listed. What would you do without spending a fortune? All ideas are welcome and would be of great help to me. I do not want to work for celebrities, what would you do to obtain this information? I would really like to start putting a mailing list together. I live in NYC on the UES and I don't know where to start gathering a smart list. If I just mail these cards to companies they will end up in HR and then in the garbage. Please put your thinking cap on and let me know how you would go about this. I know it's a challenging question.





Thank youI need smart advice on what types of people in NYC could use a Personal Assistant?
Frequently, depressed people can't deal with regular daily stuff - you could leave you advertising in the psychologist offices of big places like Kaiser, or in some mental health clinics, or outside their buildings.





Lots of people are now using online grocery buying - could you work out something with them to put your ad in each food delivery? Same thing with delivery pizza.





WEDDINGS - there are a million things to do, and people get so involved in the wedding stuff that ordinary stuff gets lost.


Could you send an announcement to people who sign up in wedding and gift registries?I need smart advice on what types of people in NYC could use a Personal Assistant?
Do you know any realtors in your area that you could work with? People buying houses would have lots of needs, especially those relocating to the area.





Upscale salons would have the clientele you are looking for.

Why do people find that they need the advice and opinions of others to find answers?

Dont you believe that in your own life YOU should make the important decisions and not rely on others for the burdens of your own moral and ethic fibers? I believe there is no more sense of self worth anymore, that everything has to be screened through a general consensus in order for the population to retain its status quo. Why?Why do people find that they need the advice and opinions of others to find answers?
people need each other; to interact; to sound off opinions etc; everyone chances their mind and what you think one day can change months and/or years down the road; there is self worth but it comes from within, sometimes arrived by life's experiences, lessons taught and learned, example ; take all that in and then a person makes a judgment call for what is right for themWhy do people find that they need the advice and opinions of others to find answers?
so that we don,t make the same mistakes as others. we should make our own decisionsbut only after we have armed ourselves with all the info that is available there is a greater sense of self-worth because we collectively have immensely more knowledge and wisdom than we ever could as an individual. all information cannot be contained in one book or one mind.feel free to use others as reference sources in you quest for knowledge. morals and ethics are just two of the many things we learn from,suprisingly enough, other people.
Most people are not asking for advice, they are just using you for a sounding board. Not many people really want your opinion for consideration. Millions want to give it. I have a good friend who has a saying I like. '; I never take advice from people who are more screwed up than I am.';
I worked as a counselor at one time. This comes naturally to me. I am here because I feel drawn to help give feed back to other people so that they can make up their own minds. Why are you here?
... two heads are better than one. It's good to get as many perspectives as you can, especially on the important, life changing things.
I think it is OK to ask people who are supportive to us their opinion. However this does not mean you have to do what they say. They may have an insight that you have not thought about. Why do people think they know all the answers?
Because everything anyone ever does in their lifetime, they measure up against everyone else's views and opinions. Some people just don't wanna do the hard part, and think for themselves, and would rather just have every detail of their life handed to them by people who don't even know them, while other are afraid of failure and rejection. The in-crowd makes the rules, and everyone is so obsessed with being accepted, that no one thinks for themselves.





I could go on and on about this issue for a while, cuz you make a very valid point, and it's very true that sense of self worth has decreased...
Uhh...I'll leave you in suspense over this one....

Hi people any advice and help please?

Why when you ask for advice about highschool relationships people always end with 'well it won't work anyway'?

I keep asking my friends what to do with this girl and they give little-detailed responses but always end with ';but don't worry about it, relationships in high school never work out anyways';. Why do people have to be so negative?Why when you ask for advice about highschool relationships people always end with 'well it won't work anyway'?
theyre just bitter. [:Why when you ask for advice about highschool relationships people always end with 'well it won't work anyway'?
It's nothing personal, just that it is true most of the time. The fact is that the person you are now is very unlikely going to be the person you will be once out of high school. That, plus just the fact that in high school, relationships are viewed through much different eyes than they are after.





So simple answer: people change, and rarely do high school relationships last through that change.

Why do people ask relationship advice?

I can understand asking what to do in a relationship under certain circumstances, but does it irritate anyone else when people ask things like ';what is my girlfriend thinking?'; or ';why is she acting this way?'; How are we supposed to know?Why do people ask relationship advice?
Well some things are understandable because you just want to hear other peoples' point of view but I get what you are saying because we aren't mind readers..Like all these questions like ';does he/she like me';...how the hell are we suppose to know?!!!Why do people ask relationship advice?
I think that each person has had an experience that another hasn't, so they are asking the outcome. Some have never been in a relationship and have no clue. Others have no parents or friends to confide in them, so they come here. Others may need an honest answer from an outsider. There are so many reasons.
Because people want to know what their partners are thinking or what to do in a certain situation.
I knooww, like ';she hugged me today.. does that mean she likes me?';. I mean I can't say for sure you know, but I think they just want someone to say ';yes! she does like you!';.

Why do people give different advice for different types of abuse?

why is it when someone is physically abused then they are told to run from that person?


why is it when someone is sexually abused then they are told to run from that person and press charges?


but when it comes to emotional abuse then everyone always says..';just live with it.. they are only yelling at you,.. its not like they are hitting you or anything..'; like if emotional abuse doesn't have the same effect as physical or sexual abuse does?


not say that physical abuse or sexual abuse isn't very traumatic because i know it is but it just seems to me that emotional abuse doesn't really get light like the other two..Why do people give different advice for different types of abuse?
people who havent experienced emotional abuse dont know how traumatizing and how hurtful it is. I've personally been emotionally and sexually abused, and even though I will always be haunted by my rape, the emotional abuse is by far the worst.


I was emotionally abused by my father my entire life, and no one understood it. Its hard because normally its done by someone you love and are close to, which honestly makes it that much worse. You begin to doubt yourself and wonder what you did wrong to deserve it....


In my opinion, physical and sexual overtime will heal, but the emotional part always stays. I have recovered from my rape, but the emotional part of it is what haunts me. The emotional abuse from my father will always haunt me and hurt me, because I can still hear his words and I still feel the way they made me feel when he said them.








Great question. I wish i could give you more than one star.Why do people give different advice for different types of abuse?
Part of the problem, I think, is that there is no retaliation, no justice, for individuals who are emotionally abused. If someone physically or sexually abuses you, there is evidence, and there are ways to make sure the assailant is punished (even though those measures do fail sometimes). But emotional abuse is so much harder to find, prove, and punish. And in this case, the only way to fight fire is with fire, but no one is going to tell you ';oh, they are emotionally abusing you? Well just abuse them back. Tell them they are a horrible person, call them names, toy with their head a little until they feel worthless.';





It is unfortunate; and for the most part, I really don't think people feel that emotional abuse isn't abuse, no one really knows what advice to give in that situation other than merely to deal with it.
I've been putting up with emotional abuse my whole life, to the point where id be open to any kind of physical abuse as long as it would mean no emotional abuse. I dont inflict psysical pain on myself cause i think thats entirely wrong, but when i cut myself at work, i like it cause i know those wounds will heal. Not implying that sexual abuse or excessive psysical abuse will heal, cause im sure they wont either
Because all types of abuse require different kinds of help/advice?


You're not going to tell a physical or sexual abuse victim ';Just deal with it.';


You would never tell a verbal abuse victim (you said emotional) to run away... that's overreacting.
do you need advice. obviously you know you should get out of the situation.





but i would give the same advice for all three.... get the f*ck out of there and try to make sure they dont do it again,
because people base their answer off their experiences

How seriously do you take the advice of people on here?

all I can say is if you do, I'm LMAO!How seriously do you take the advice of people on here?
I like to know what other people think. When I first started I used to get offended by some peoples answers but now I know there are some that are just trying to ruffle some feathers.How seriously do you take the advice of people on here?
It's just cool to see other people opinion. I don't base my life on it, just like to get another perspective.
as far as I can throw it, and that's not possible now is it? Actually if it's good advise I'll take it into consideration, but mostly people don't know what the hell they're talking about half the time!
I think of it this way with regards to the legitimate questions:





1) People ask questions because they need to know that they are not alone, that there are other people out there who are experiencing the same things.





2) To get general advice about parenting issues, pregnancy issues or life issues in general.





3) Sometimes people feel that they cannot turn to their loved ones for advice, and in some situations it's easier to ask a complete stranger.





4) Sometimes you know the answer, but you just need reassurance from others that your decision is the right one.





There are many other factors.





There are people on here that you will learn over time, always try to answer questions objectively and as honest as they can.
I just like getting some other ideas. Anything that is really important I check wiht the people that are educated. Like it said it is just for fun.
well... Depends on the question, usually i just look for advise and see what the majority will say. Sometimes it has been very helpful and other times I get so irritated with people, especially the stupid questions I see!
may b u can track my answers. lol. but i was wondering the same thing. and i was thinking whether the questions r being asked by yahoo people themselves coz they were so thorough in some cases.
if i agree with it then i might agree with it a bit but it is the internet i prefer the advice on medical issues and such from real life trained professionals.
Its nice to see other opinions and experiences that may the same as yours.
It really all depends on how sound the advice is. If you're totally stupid and don't know anything then you may be gullible, but then some people may have legitimate questions and some may have legitimate answers. It really depends on whether or not you'll research what you hear.
I don't ask questions but I hAVE LEARN A LOT ,SOMETHINGS YOU JUST KNOW AIN'T RIGHT, i HOPE EVERYONE CHECK OUT THESE ANSWERS BEFORE ACTING ON T HE ANSWERS. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
take what you want leave the rest, like all things in life.

What can I say to people that are always giving me advice during pregnancy?

Some of it is wrong advice. And I am so sick of people telling me what I can and cannot do. I appriciate the advice, but Its quite annoying.What can I say to people that are always giving me advice during pregnancy?
Just smile and nod. Everyone wants to give advice to a pregnant or new mother. You will probably one day find yourself doing it too. Do listen to them without disregarding it though - consider and then decide. I found myself wishing I had listened to some of those crazy old ladies afterwards. :)





Something I've been saying lately is : somewhere between my sixth month of pregnancy and my baby's six month birthday, I realized that I don't know everything there is to know, and other moms do have good advice. Many people will parent very differently than you, and you will get just as many people, if not more, wanting to give you advice when you have your baby than you do with baby still inside. The only person that gets more attention than a pregnant woman is one with a newborn. :)What can I say to people that are always giving me advice during pregnancy?
So you are asking the world for advice on how to not accept advice. Funny. Thank those people and move on. They are only trying to be helpful.
say thank you or o yea a lot pf ppl have been tellin me that %26amp; move around you can't really stop em
Just politely say thanks for the advice I will give it some thought.
Just say thank you. everybody always seemd to think that a pregnant person needs advice. take it wth a grain of salt
Be diplomatic. A lot of it actually will help you. Listen and don't assume you know everything. There's something to be said for experience.
lol...I'm going through the exact same thing. I'm 20 weeks pregnant and I haven't stopped reading about it since I found out 17 weeks ago. Yet I constantly get well meaning advice from apparently, clueless people.





Politeness is all fine and good...but passing on stupid incorrect information on such an important subject is not right.





There are enough uneducated people in the world. Especially uneducated girls who end up pregnant and clueless.





I use it as an opportunity to correct these would be ';do gooders'; and school them on their misinformation as politely as possible.





Usually, they thank me and go on their merry way. Which is fine with me as they were offering unsolicited advice.





Now the unsolicited belly touching...that's a whole nother thing...don't even get me started. JEEZ people!! Keep your hands to your self!!
Tell them to go get knocked up and THEN give you the advice!
For general advice ';Thanks, I'll talk that over with my doctor/midwife'; If they're telling you to not do something (like the moron that would scold me when I had a soda in the break room at work) ';Actually, Mr. Moron, my midwife/doctor has told me I'm allowed to...have 100 mg of caffeine, lift objects that weigh up to X number of pounds, lift my arm above my head, eat a gallon of ice cream at once, etc.'; (You should probably use the person's name instead of Mr. Moron)





While it's true that you will occasionally get good advice so much of it is bumpkus that you really don't feel like deciphering it all out. I always found the best advice about parenting/pregnancy/heck, life in general is the solicited kind. I don't mind asking for help when I need it and when I ask I'm much more open to listening and following the advice I'm given.
Smile, say thank you and move on. Pregnancy brings the care-taker / mother out in all of us. Just try to remember that they mean well.





If you react, they'll blame your hormones, so you can't win.





Congratulations! and BEST of LUCK to YOU!!
Be friendly, but maybe let it slip in one ear and out the other?!


It's your baby, don't feel guilty if you are doing something they say you 'shouldn't'!
I am sorry to tell you but it just gets worse, once you have the baby. Everyone seems to know how to raise you child better than you or know more than the Dr. Best advice is to tell them now that you are going by what the Dr. says regardless of what they think. That way when they start in on the baby they will be use to hearing you say that.

Why do soo many young people want relationship advice?

ok most of the time when i look at peoples questions on here a lot of them seem to be asked by young teenagers 13/14 and they all seem to want serious relationship advice. I mean why is it they want to grow up so fast. When i was 14 no one i knew wanted relationship advice, or even advice on sex. Doesn't anyone want that general freedom that comes with being young anymore (by freedom im referring to the lack of responsibilities e.g. relationships, money, rent etc)Why do soo many young people want relationship advice?
I feel you. I am in my thirties and I find myself searching hard for mature questions. However, I see the same questions over and over again being asked by babies who want to date. I don't judge but as one who came out at age 12 and now a mother, I just think that these kids are stressing themselves over other kids unnecessairly when they should be focusing on their education and future.Why do soo many young people want relationship advice?
I'm 16, and i totally agree with you. I've never asked a question on my relationship, except once when it was about my boyfriend going in the army, but i think that's a totally different matter. I'm not like most teenagers though, i spend all my time around adults. I have no teenage friends, i can't be bothered with all the hassle, i think every teenager asks about it because of the world we are living in now, they all follow each others steps and say 'oh shes having sex, i don't want to be odd so i'll ask some advice online' It's all pretty sad when you look at it tbh. I bet your thinking this is ironic a teenager talking about stuff like this, but yeah; i tend to get on better with people alot older than myself and understand them more. :)
Because they are young and confused.


I bet you asked friends all the time for advice and help, and yahoo answers offers even more advice from even more 'friends'.


I probably would have used this myself if it was about when i was younger, but I'm a few years too late.


I know its annoying and I've helped my fair share of kids trying to figure out if a boy likes them, but everyone needs help from time to time and if you can show them the adult way to deal with situations then you are bringing them one step closer to adulthood. Even if the rest of yakoo answers keep writing 'yo skank/whatev he finks yo ugly/i wish i knew what the touch of a woman was/etc etc'
13/14 is a confusing time in any ones life, you are pretty much just finding out who you are and need a little help. Most people don't want to talk to their friends about it and would rather the anonymity of the internet. If you don't like the question don't answer it. But i agree that younger people should try their best for the freedom before attempting to get tied down.
well i grew up really early i mean i was doing serious things when i was that age.. SO i totally understand them... but i dread not getting to have a childhood.. but sometimes we don't get to have one..
nowadays these kids feel more grown up if they have a relationship but then they fail so many times it messes up their future relationships hence the divorce rate

The best way to pursuade is to make them feel good about the reasons behind it.





I donate to causes that I have a personal affenity for - I know where the money is going, what it is going to be used for and that ultimately the world will be a better place for it.What is the best way to persuade people to donate? Need good advice?
See if you can get the faculty to organise a day off or something.





If you offer them something for their donation they'd be foolish to refuse (or so they think).





If it comes down to it you could just make cupcakes and sell them.
You have to convince them that it is for a good course.

Need advice from people who had a candy buffet at the reception!!?

I am going to have a candy buffet at my reception and want to hear from people who have done this. Any suggestions and/or advice? What should I avoid?Need advice from people who had a candy buffet at the reception!!?
My sister did this for her wedding favors, and it was great! We bought all white candy and had little white paper bags and closed them with a doll-house size clothespin. You might like something else to close the bag like a sticker or a seal or something, but she wanted the clothespin. You can order the bags from a wholesale paper bag company on the internet.





She had about 8 large glass bowls in different shapes and sizes, some borrowed, some purchased, but she had different kinds of white candy in all of them. It was really great.





You do need to be aware of ordering candy from a bulk distributor that you could pay a lot more for shipping if you are in a warm climate and are getting married when it's hot outside. The candy company will have to ship them in dry ice to keep them from melting, which can add to the expense. Candy and chocolates can melt, but you can order them during the winter, and store them in the freezer unopened, in a nice thick tupperware container. The trick is, when you are ready to defrost it, set it out on the counter and do not open the candy until it is completely thawed, and dry. The humidity inside and outside the packaging must adjust itself while sealed, or it could get sticky or the chocolate can bloom. My sister stored hers in the freezer for about 4 or 5 months before she used it, and it tasted great. Our favorite candy she got were these white gummi grapefruit slices covered in sugar, but she had white yogurt covered almonds, malt balls, white peppermint bark (which we made ourselves and froze ahead of time, using the above freezing instructions), and any other small white candies that you could scoop. I think you can order all white M%26amp;M's too. You just don't necessarily want wrapped candy, if you're going to do a candy bar, so pick something that is 'loose'.





It was nice to not have to piece favors together, as the guests did everything themselves filling their bags with candies on their way out. It's one of our favorite pictures of the wedding. It was as if a swarm of locusts had descended on the table, as there was very little candy left at the end of the night.Need advice from people who had a candy buffet at the reception!!?
I have never heard of this, was a unique idea......
My brother-in-law did this for his wedding and I thought it was really cool! As someone else mentioned, rock candy was a great hit. ';Shoestring licorice'; was also a favorite. If you're having an outdoor wedding in a warm climate, definitely avoid things that melt easily like chocolate. You might also want to consider ordering some custom-designed m%26amp;ms. You can order them in your wedding colors and even have your names or wedding date printed on them.
I've heard that most of the guests just eat the candy during the reception, so think about that if you're using the candy as favors. Make sure you have enough candy stocked.
Don't do chocolate unless it is something you know will not melt. People love of any kind of mints. The most popular item was rock candy for some unknown reason.
It's a cute idea, but if you are having many children at your wedding you may want to re-think this as children tend to be greedy and go and get lots of lollies and it may run out before other people get some. That is why I am just having bags with chocolates at each person's place setting so everyone get a fair and equal amount.

Why do people love to give advice?

EXAMPLE: Whenever people ask for advice you will find the Yahoo Community works overtime trying to solve other people's problems! This is true for everyday life as well.Why do people love to give advice?
it feels good to give it and to get it...haWhy do people love to give advice?
It feels good to be able to help someone else. Plus why learn so much and keep it all to yourself. Wisdom is wealth. It was meant to be passed around, not hoarded.
Overtime? Really?





So how come only one answered my question about computers.





We all live as a family of sorts- and giving advice when you have a grasp on the topic is normal behavior.





Now if only somepeople can have a grasp of windows vista...
Its fun though trying,,,
cause every1s got an opinion and people love giving theres
Superficially, we might see the possibilities of working toward a common good, the commonwealth of all. Deep down though, it might be that giving advice may offer a feeling of superiority.





But hey, you gain benefit of received advice, we feel good. Everyone benefits, yea?
i enjoy helping people on yahoo.
it makes them feel better about themselves


they did 'the 'good deed]
Most people have innate desires to help others, stemming from their sense of empathy. At the same time, our animal nature makes us selfish. Giving advice creates the sense that we have done something to help others, while not requiring the expenditure of time/resources that providing physical aid might. By giving advice, we are able to assuage any sense that we are not being helpful, while at the same time avoiding actual involvement.





Giving advice may also work as a way to avoid the time and effort required in listening to a person, and shift guilt from the social milieu (ourselves included) onto the person who failed to take advice properly.





That said, solicited advice, given after time and consideration has been invested, can at times actually provide true help. It is precisely this helpful quality of good advice which makes it so that advice-giving can be considered ';helpful'; by those who use it to avoid further work.
Because it gives that person the satisfaction that they have made someone else's life that much better.
the fact that i can see in black and white people who don't know each other drawing on their own knowledge and life experience to help another person is fantastic makes you wonder why the world is in such a mess with such people around
We are social animals.
It's really fun and I enjoy helping people!
Because it FEELS good to DO good.
In my opinion, it is human nature to want to feel the significance of one鈥檚 existence. That is why people want to give advice: They want to be assured that they play a part in others鈥?lives. One advantage of listening to advice is that you will be able to see both sides of the coin, which would reduce the chances of you being bias. However, don鈥檛 keep listening to others鈥?advice all the time! After all, you are living your life, not others鈥? Always trust yourself, and listen to yourself. =)
Because we can be so much wiser when we are not involved in the situation. We can see it with a clear and unbiased eye. When you are inside the problem, you only have one perspective on it, and may not see the other side.
I love giving advice and believe I'm quite good at doing so .. I wouldn't give advice if I didn't believe in the words of which I speak .. (If I didn't know what I was talking about)





I think when you see somebody going through or experiencing something you have, then you are able to speak and understand them. When people have problems that's what they need, understanding.





Sometimes you can be reading somebodies problem out of interest and by the time you've finished you have built an opinion and have things to say .. even though you may not have planned to answer that particular question.





Being able to help somebody and make a difference, make them smile or give them re-assurance and hope, is very rewarding. The feeling of doing good and improving somebodies life, even by a small margin - It's truly overwhelming!





Y!A is home to people of different generations, genders, sexualities, religions, races, nationalities .. When people ask a question for help or guidance you know that you are going to receive a mixed bag of opinions ..





Y!A is like a smaller version of our world, with less people but the same things. You have people arguing, people laughing,


people congratulating .. you have everything!





Thank You!


%26amp; Take Care!
Well, it gives them a sense of importance, gratification because people don't really gets asked but told in life. So I suppose, people feel great when they also....get an email saying:





';Your answer has been choosen!';
for some people giving advice and helping people really brings them a satifaction, like myself, I really love to answer people's question because it lets me know that I was able to help someone and that I'm not just a waste of space. It really just depends on the person, some people think others should just fingure out their own problems by themselves, but people like me take real joy and satisfaction in helping others solve their problems.
I love to give advice - and yes, it is true for my every day life as well! I guess I am a bossy flossy...
The human spirit has a natural inborn desire to help others. You only have to read about some disaster or other to know just how heroic some people can be; even people like us!


It is this which sets us apart from the animal kingdom, plus manners.
because they love much of talking. they find advising others far more easy than applying what they advise on themeselves.
Because they cant sell, or don't know how to sell it.
i can think of a few reasons ...





people love the idea that they are helping someone and that gives them a meaning that is for them too complicated to explain





people have to share their opinions





people truly and sincerely want to help others





or just the need to talk for the sake of talking





i am answering this question because i thought i my views would interest you. if not, then at least i get the 2points =D
It's in our human nature to try to help our fellowships. In fact, when we help someone, we help ourselves indirectly. Fortunately, still there is solidarity in this beautiful world.

Why do people ask for medical advice on Yahoo Answers?

I really wonder... do they think that doctors hang out here answeing questions for free?Why do people ask for medical advice on Yahoo Answers?
Although this might be dangerous, it is possible to get good feedback... I think it depends on what the question is, and whether or not the person uses yahoo answers as their only source of information.Why do people ask for medical advice on Yahoo Answers?
If it's a simple question it's cheaper and less time consuming to ask it on here.
In my opinion, they ask, hoping someone with enough knowledge on the subject, is going to be able to ';give them some intelligent input';.





I think they gleen what info they get, and then decide for themselves if it is helpful.





Personally i do beleive those with degrees or profesionals, are on here ocassionally, and do answer to best of their ability without infringing or breaking any oaths or laws.
I ask ?'s on here because, Iam after testimonials and personal experience. Although Iam not anyone with a degree, if I ever do get the degree I want in psychology, I would answer ?'s on here for free. Medical problems are scarey, especially when it is serious, a person is alone or a person has no idea what to think. I bet you that all people from all walks of life are on here.
ha. like sociology ... search for racial supriority on youtube and watch the first video on there... its my friends sociology presentation
You can live far away of Hospital and doctors.


During the week end there are not doctors to call.


Go to the emergency room is expensive.


You can live in a area where doctor are not good.


Sometimes you disagree what doctors said and you want another opinion.


Sometimes you hurt your self, for instance, you burn the hand 'skin and you want to know what you need to put to avoid a scare.


Sometimes you do no have medical insurance.


Sometimes you do not have time.


Yahoo answers is satisfying a need that society have not satisfied.
Because doctor's office visits are expensive and time consuming.

What advice do you have for people that find it disturbing many people are wanting to become teachers?

Why become a teacher and then complain about not getting paid much, when you could've gone to college for a much more high paying job?What advice do you have for people that find it disturbing many people are wanting to become teachers?
This is why. I teach and this is what always makes me know I made the right decision.





Which one of these quotes do you say at the end of the day of your job.


';I wrote a new computer program';


';The clock went from 8 to 4 and I got paid';


';I made a sale and my company made money today.';


';I helped build something and got paid handsomely for it.';


';I taught, inspired, and enlightened over 100 kids. I gave them a safe place to spend their day. I gave them all new ideas. Someone is going to life the rest of their life differently because of my day at work. Tomorrow I'll do the same. I've started the fire in the minds of the doctors, lawyers, architects, scientists, butchers, bakers and candle stick makers. But most importantly I've made a sale in at least a few people that they will become teachers and do the same thing in the future for my kids.';





In some jobs at the end of the day all you get is a paycheck.What advice do you have for people that find it disturbing many people are wanting to become teachers?
You're right. I've had teachers that complained about their salary. But everyday, when they are in school, they are living their passion-- what they want to do.


They want to teach students, further improve their knowledge and watch them grow in years to come.


It makes it rewarding for them to see their students succeed.





It makes themselves feel better that they have taught someone, something beneficial for their future.
Many people don't think about the time that teachers spend working even after their classes are over. My father was a high-school math teacher for years and spent every night working on his class plans, correcting homework and tests, trying to figure out new and exciting ways to get his kids involved without totally boring them to sleep. He often worked until 1am and was up at 6am to get to school early for the kids who needed extra tutoring so they could graduate or mentoring various clubs at school. He worked from 7am-5pm at school every day - even longer during track and basketball season, teams that he was the assistant coach for.





Every couple of years his (and the other teachers) contract would need to be re-negotiated because the local school board would have to figure out a new budget. Every time this happened there were always threats (and alot of times the threats came true) of lay-offs, pay cuts, increase of work hours and class size, and decrease of health benefits because seemingly noone wants to pay for their children's education. They just expect the funding to fall from the sky - rather than from their taxes!





So, for anyone who thinks that teachers are whiners who make more money than they are saying or slackers who are doing this job because they didn't want to go to school for a different degree - I just give those thoughtless people a big raspberry - phfffft! You all just don't know what you are talking about! Try teaching for a couple of years before you make such idiotic judgements - you know, walk in someone else's shoes....
Um, teachers do go to college. Even though teachers complain, deep down, they really do like teaching kids. That's their calling, that's why they chose it. They could've chosen a better paying job, but they like teaching, that's why they stuck with it. And don't believe everything they say - teachers in high school earn at least 50 000 a year.
You're right that most college graduates could get jobs that pay much more than teaching. Anyone who is bright and motivated who chooses teaching over other careers does so because he/she is interested in helping others, and believes he/she has a talent for helping others learn. I thought nothing of the low pay for my teaching job until the last year or so. Now I'm looking at 30 years of my life completely devoted to other people's children; putting in 80 hour weeks, buying everything for my classroom with my own money, not being able to sleep at night because I am worried about my students, and then having to read in the newspapers how terrible teachers are and being totally disrespected by a lot of the parents, the school board, and the superintendent. The solution might be in becoming very aggressive about getting rid of ineffective teachers and paying the good ones a salary commensurate with their abilities and their level of education. It's discouraging to give up all your free time to try to help your little ones and then be treated like dirt. Our staff hasn't had a raise in five years (although the superintendent gets between a 7 and 12% raise each year). We aren't even keeping up with inflation. I still believe teaching is the best profession in the world, but it's going to get harder and harder to find qualified, dedicated young people who are willing to put up with all the negative aspects of the job.
Don't let teacher's fool you, they make more money than you would think. While it is true they could've gone for something else that was more high paying, they chose something noble. Right now they're just looking for attention or sympathy. Eventually, they'll accept that while they could be making more money, they are involved in one of the most satisfying and useful careers.
I'm a teacher for 31 years. I teach in an inner city high school in NYC.


All through school, I reminded my sons constantly NOT to be teachers.


One is a doctor, the other an engineer.





Even though I have an engineering degree, I went into teaching. Jimmy Carter was president and engineers were a dime a dozen. Grumman Aerospace was closing, NASA was down sizing, the country was in a mess. I should have left teaching in the eighties, but I was married, a young dad, mortgage, etc. That's why I vote Republican even though I'm a teacher.

What advice do you have for young people?

What advice do you have for young people starting to prepare for a career?What advice do you have for young people?
Be confident, yet humble enough to learn, and most of all, become adaptable.





In today's workforce--everyone is unfortunately, disposable. And roles are constantly evolving.





Learn to stay ahead of the game in your field and make yourself indespensible through continuous learning, keeping an open mind and looking for ways to always add value to your company.





And oh yeah--know when it's time to move on!What advice do you have for young people?
If you know someone who has a job that would be your ideal job, don't be shy about asking that person about his or her job (like how he got it, whether she likes it, tips for getting ahead). But don't make a nuisance of yourself. Social and communication skills are as important -- if not more so -- than where you went to school or what your grade point average was. Send thank-you notes. Work hard but prioritize at the same time -- in other words, don't work too hard on things that are unimportant in the big picture. (Of course, it will take some experience to figure out what those things are.)
I consider myself a young person (23) and I have made it an utmost priority of mine to help mentor my peers through their education and into a career. Check out my website http://millennialmentors.com





My advice for you is to be confident in your quest and to plan plan plan. Do not rush into making decisions (especially in choosing a college major) until you are certain you are pursuing something that interests you.





Learn to be authoritative and get what you what from your specific situations. Check out this article ';Getting What You Want From Authority: 5 Tips That Will Make Your Academic and Professional Life Easier'; at http://millennialmentors.com/blog1/2008/鈥?/a> for advice on how to do this.





Also, I would suggest that you begin networking and talking to people that will help you get wherever it is that you are going. Who you know is so important these days; so do your best to make sure everyone at your college/high school/current job knows who you are and what your intentions are.





If you need any additional information or have any questions, feel free to contact me through my site, Yahoo, or at amber@millennialmentors.com
Network, network, and then network. Focus on your interests, and get to know people who have jobs that involve those interestes.





I'm 29 years old, followed the dollar over job satisfaction. I think I'm still young enough to do something about it, but if I had to start over, I'd have chosen a job I could enjoy at a lesser salary over what I'm doing now. I'm not even earning a buttload of cash, comfortable but not wealthy. And there is little to no job satisfaction. That's my own story.





Follow your heart and do something you'll enjoy, not just what pays your bills. I thought it was just a corny saying, but there really are things money can't buy.

Now that you've graduated and are in ';the real world';, what is your advice for people in college?

Whats your advice to people in college, now that you have had experience both in college and in the workforce? What would you do differently or the same? What do you wish you knew?Now that you've graduated and are in ';the real world';, what is your advice for people in college?
Study something that will get you a job in the real world and leave off the credit cards. Life is tough enough without a boatload of credit card debt weighing you down.Now that you've graduated and are in ';the real world';, what is your advice for people in college?
Many jobs require tests. Check whether ones you might want do and take the tests before graduation so you are ready to move on to the next step. If you want to be an air traffic controller or something like that it can take some time before the next test is scheduled to be given and you need the results before you can be considered.


Use your papers and projects to get noticed by people in your field in an area you want to work in. Realize the job you will do at some point in your life probably does not yet exist so do not think a job is below you. You do not yet know where it will lead.


All education is inter related. You can take courses later to switch fields but there are basic paths you may want to take in the beginning. An english degree may get you into medicine but not as a physician and a science degree may allow you to write but your focus will be limited for some time.


If you wish to understand how knowledge is categorized look at the dewey decimal system in the library. Areas have their own letters.


The higher in college you go the more choices you have. It all depends on your interests. Get to know your professors and their interests.
Don't expect to get a ';really great job'; after graduating unless you've got great connections or your daddy owns a multi-million dollar company.





Also, don't expect to get paid much more than you would if you hadn't gone to college unless you studied to be a doctor or lawyer.





And with this economy, plan on starting your own business because getting a full-time job these days is close to impossible. The time and money you'll spend going on interviews will be better used by investing in your own business.





Thats my honest opinion and what I'd tell graduates if they asked for advice.
Hi there,





My advice is, no matter how much you think college sucks, stick through with it. And make the best grades you possibly can....employers out there find good grades and a degree very impressive. Also, don't take your major too seriously. there is a crazy statistic out there that states only about 48% of people actually work in the same related field that their major in college was. A lot of employers really don't care what your degree is in, but just fact that you have a degree and the perserverence to get one makes you more desirable as a future employee. Good luck!
I have not graduated because I have changed my major 3 times and have been attending my university for over 6 years. I used to feel lost and alone, I knew so many people from high school who knew back then what they wanted to be and I felt so odd because I didn't. That was at first, I felt much worse 4 years later when a lot of my friends graduated and I still hadn't. I kept feeling like I couldn't live life until I got my degree. As I matured, I realized, THIS IS my life and I need to start living it. I tried many jobs and have taken many courses. And I believe in the end, in my heart or hearts, I want to be a home-maker. I want to cook and clean and tend to my husband and children. I want to be a soccer mom and travel the world with my children and do charity work. What major does that fall under? How in this day in age do families get by with only 1 income? After all thse years of women struggling for equal rights can I possibly want to regress to the past? These are conflicting problems I had been plaqued with. That is until I came accross a business opportunity that allowed me to start work immediately and need no educational background. It gave me the freedom to get a good income going that will continue to come in even if I stop working (residual income) so I can focus on my true passions.





So my advice to people in college is, sometimes our passions don't pay and lets face it, we need money to live. So for all those who feel 'lost' because what they 'want' conflicts with what 'pays,' visit my website:





http://thelmajanke.iamagel.com/opportunity
i would say, take it all in because it might not be a year or two by even later down the road it would be useful.


my college learning didn't come into my life until i was in my 30's. now i own a couple of businesses, couldn't have done it without the skills i learned.

What advice would you give to younger people?

What advice would you give to younger people about anything?What advice would you give to younger people?
Always be truthful in your life come whatever may! If you truly want to succeed in life... being truthful is the most essential ingredient in the journey of life.





Secondly, you need to develop a goal in life early. The sooner you do it... the better for you! When 11 years of age I wanted to meet God in this very life! By 13 my desire had turned into conviction. At 15 years of age I gave notice to my mother that I wanted to leave the confines of the family to meditate in isolation of the jungles (forests) for which she did not permit.





I continued in the journey of God while living in the family. My goal of life was absolutely clear to me. Come whatever may... I shall meet God in this very life. At 37 years of age... I came face-to-face with God on one-to-one basis. I had realized God. This is my last manifestation as a human being. I can but attain salvation (moksha) and enter the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism) the moment I leave my mortal frame.





Patience, persistence and perseverance need to be practiced as we do it in India. They go a long way in maintaining a balance in life. If you truly desire to become a Bill Gates in your life... form a goal in life... put all your eggs in one basket and thrust ahead in the journey of life. You shall definitely succeed! More on Goal in Life - http://www.vijaykumar.com/burning_desire鈥?/a>What advice would you give to younger people?
dont say life is short what can u possible do thats longer?


but on serious note- dont let me get you down,cause it effects you and thats all they want to see-so smile cause it confuses people.


=)
Life is short, never pass anything up. If you want it, go for it.
Discover what your true potential as a human is, beyond all the programming and disinformation fed to you by all of the culturally approved institutions.





Meditate and exercise regularly. Perhaps 1 or 2 in 10 will have the wisdom and insight to take this advice, thus having the chance to become other than just another clone. see http://www.montalk.net for helpful thoughts.





Best of luck, you'll need it on this planet. :))
Stay in school as long as you can, learn all you can, it will make a huge difference in your life. Enjoy your childhood, and teen years, and don't be so hard on your parents. Never be ashamed because you make a mistake, you will learn from it and probably be a better person because of it. Do something for someone, ask nothing in return except that someday they do something for someone. You may think that you are smart at 16, but at 25 you will look back and think of what an idiot you were. Then at 35 you will look back and think of what a fool you were at 25. Live life to it's fullest, love with all your heart, and laugh often.
Don't pass it up because you think you'll make up for it later...because any you get later, you would have gotten anyway.


(Wise advice I once got from an older brother)
Work on their sense of consequence, that's about the only thing teenagers are missing, well I'm thinking positive..
Cultivate detachment from your emotions, learn the value of humility and realize that your life is only superficially about you.
Dont post stupid questions on the internet.
You think you're so smart at 16, but when you turn 25 you realize what an idiot you truly were, especially in love.
stop worrying about what other people are thinking, you don't have to impress anyone.
Probably the same things your parents tell you.





Don't give into peer pressure, if someone says they will not be your friend if you don't do something you know is wrong or just doesn't feel right, they weren't your friend in the first place.





Respect yourself and others for the individuals you and they are.





Take care of your own things, and take of someone else's even better.





Don't go out with or befriend anyone who doesn't respect you or tries to hurt you.





You shouldn't go out with or befriend someone for what they can do for you or give you, like money, nice things etc.





Things don't buy real happiness, good relationships are all the riches you need, you can work for the rest.
What makes me equipped to dole out advice to others? First, let me take out the mote from my own eyes.
First you are smart at 16. No matter what anyone says. When you turn 20 it is just that....you are amazed at how much your parents learned in four years.





Advice....think...actions and consequences.





Whatever it is you do....think. For every action of decision....a door or opportunity closes. You need to understand that you do not have the choice to not open doors. You MUST choose doors constantly, but you can never go back. So choose wisely by thinking first.





Make your decisions bravely and always go forward without fear or self-recrimination. You will make mistakes. Learn from them. Think.





When the last door is available to you at life's end, make sure you are ready for what lays ahead.





If you have thought and have sought, you should have the right answer and your choices upon reflection will have proven worthwhile and useful.
To be more responsible than they are.





But the sense of responsibility comes later I guess.
Show kindness towards all living things and be careful with credit cards.
Floss.
Every five years you will be astonished at how foolish you were five years ago.





You will live far, far longer than you expect to.
Examine your most sacred thoughts, always.
Ask everyone you respect their opinion, then follow your gut.

Why do people find that they need the advice and opinions of others to find answers?

Dont you believe that in your own life YOU should make the important decisions and not rely on others for the burdens of your own moral and ethic fibers? I believe there is no more sense of self worth anymore, that everything has to be screened through a general consensus in order for the population to retain its status quo. Why?Why do people find that they need the advice and opinions of others to find answers?
people need each other; to interact; to sound off opinions etc; everyone chances their mind and what you think one day can change months and/or years down the road; there is self worth but it comes from within, sometimes arrived by life's experiences, lessons taught and learned, example ; take all that in and then a person makes a judgment call for what is right for themWhy do people find that they need the advice and opinions of others to find answers?
so that we don,t make the same mistakes as others. we should make our own decisionsbut only after we have armed ourselves with all the info that is available there is a greater sense of self-worth because we collectively have immensely more knowledge and wisdom than we ever could as an individual. all information cannot be contained in one book or one mind.feel free to use others as reference sources in you quest for knowledge. morals and ethics are just two of the many things we learn from,suprisingly enough, other people.
Most people are not asking for advice, they are just using you for a sounding board. Not many people really want your opinion for consideration. Millions want to give it. I have a good friend who has a saying I like. '; I never take advice from people who are more screwed up than I am.';
I worked as a counselor at one time. This comes naturally to me. I am here because I feel drawn to help give feed back to other people so that they can make up their own minds. Why are you here?
... two heads are better than one. It's good to get as many perspectives as you can, especially on the important, life changing things.
I think it is OK to ask people who are supportive to us their opinion. However this does not mean you have to do what they say. They may have an insight that you have not thought about. Why do people think they know all the answers?
Because everything anyone ever does in their lifetime, they measure up against everyone else's views and opinions. Some people just don't wanna do the hard part, and think for themselves, and would rather just have every detail of their life handed to them by people who don't even know them, while other are afraid of failure and rejection. The in-crowd makes the rules, and everyone is so obsessed with being accepted, that no one thinks for themselves.





I could go on and on about this issue for a while, cuz you make a very valid point, and it's very true that sense of self worth has decreased...
Uhh...I'll leave you in suspense over this one....

Why do so few people actually take advice given to them by other people?

Why is it that so many people ignore and dont listen to advice while few people actually listen to advice and actually put it into consideration?





Im talking about the general amount of people and as in Advice I mean good advice that actually makes sense and helpful advice.





And, is the advice that you give usually ignored by people?





And do you think there is really a point to giving advice to people if they're most likely just going to ignore it anyway?





Does it annoy you when people ignore your advice?Why do so few people actually take advice given to them by other people?
It's just in my personality to give to people without taking, and also knowing that my advice will fall on deaf ears. People don't want to follow advice, you know that being a regular on yahoo! answers.


For example, who gets best answer to a ';what's the best--?'; question or anything like it. They'll state their opinion and no matter how well you state your case, best answer goes to the person who agrees entirely with them. This is a case of people just wanting the advice they want to hear.





But in the real world, I give you another example. A dude I knew for while always played basketball in running shoes and everyday would sprain his ankle. So I give him some basketball shoes; next time he plays--doesn't wear 'em. And then what happened, he busts his ***, that's what happened. This is a case of insanity (doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.)





Yeah, it annoys me when people don't listen to my advice because it usually ends with them coming back to me saying ';I should've listened.'; Nobody wants advice, because nobody knows better than anyone else--or so they believe. Most people just want others to know their problem.





It makes me feel old like I'm everyone's grandfather giving them fatherly advice and I'm way too young for that, but somehow I just keep giving it. Maybe that's because I need people to need me.Why do so few people actually take advice given to them by other people?
I give good advice quite often and most of the time my friends write it off as me being nosey. Meanwhile when things go wrong for them i usually get an apology for them not taking my advice. Example: my friend just tried setting me up with a girl who is stuck on her ex who treats her like garbage. I am no longer trying my hardest to get with her for the simple fact that every time she asks me for advice on a situation regarding her ex, she says shes going to take it, then doesn't take it, and kicks herself the next day.





In short yeah it sucks when people don't take my advice, so im trying my hardest not to give it out anymore, maybe i should charge people for it.
I think people ask for advice and already know what they need to do about the situation, but don't want to do what it will take. I don't think it's pointless because they read it, and sometimes all it takes is that one person to say the right thing to someone, and save them. Don't give up on thinking your advice is pointless. While most of your answers probably are given to those who won't use them, there may be one person out there you've helped, and that's why I answer them.
I think people ignore, or at least fail to follow, advice for two reasons. Either they didn't want it in the first place, in which case the other person may not fully understand the situation anyway, or they're sounding the other person out for suggestions or new angles to consider but don't find the other person's ideas to be the best course of action.
Everybody in this world has different opinions and tastes. When we all go and watch a movie with our friend's. When the movie is over everyone has their different opinion to partake. When we go out for ice cream not everyone chooses the same flavor. When we look at our very own Yahoo Answer's user names they are all different. Can you see now? We all think differently. Your advice is how you see it, but is it how the other human see's it? All human's do not think the same, but there IS only 1 human race. We are all brothers and sister's but we think different when it comes to taste's and opinions and such.
I think a lot of people already know the ';right'; answer when they ask for advice. Unfortunately, often logic and the heart just don't jive and sometimes the heart wins (at least for a period of time).


Personally, I don't like to give direct advice too often, mostly because I feel I have no right to tell people what to do. I'd rather help them see different aspects of a situation and let them decide for themselves. Who am I to say what's ';right'; for someone else? Sure I might see them as being happier if they agreed with me and followed that path, but on the other hand, sometimes we do our greatest growing and learning when we do what we ';need'; to do vs. what we ';should'; do. That doesn't mean I'll sit by and do nothing if someone's at risk of some kind of harm (physical or otherwise) - if I can, I'll talk to them about possible options, but ultimately, it's out of my control.
most people just ask for advice because they want to hear a certain thing or just wants to hear someone say that they are ok with what they are doing - most people arent really looking for advice just justification - I do dislike it when people ignore my advice but get a kick out of them admitting in the end that I was right - I am terrible at I told you so - or my answer is mainly - If I tell you a duck can pull a truck - hook em up ! lol
Because most people looking for advice ,


Already know what they want to do . . .


They are just looking for the people who agree with them .





Like the bulimics who post here ,


They are just looking for others who upchuck and how - to - tips .





Actually , I figure the advice will register later ,


After their plan implodes .





%26gt;





%26gt;
Just an interesting quote to consider--';Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than its worth.';





A lot of people will say they don't take their own advice, but in reality they tend to hold their own opinions above everyone else's, despite their seeming sincere plea for help and advice.
No. I do not get annoyed about it. People usually do what is best for their situation. Some do not due to past trauma's which often lead to addictions of some kind. Coupled together this requires a professional intervention. Some just don't want to step outside their comfort zone. That is sad because you miss out on life. We all have free will. Usually my advice is heeded. Important for me when it comes to my children. If they veer from my decision I do get upset and explain fully why I said what I did to begin with. For their health and or safety.
Most people who ask for advice don't really want advice. They really just want you to listen to the story. Some do it for attention. Some already have there minds made up and are really just thinking out loud.
That is just the way life is. It is also how most people are.

I caught a stomach flu from some people at work... any advice to make me feel better?

I felt like i was going to get sick all morning, and im better now, but every time i eat, I feel like I'm going to throw up. I dont want to sit around all day but im afraid I'll feel sick again. Does anyone know anything I can do to feel better or keep from being bored?I caught a stomach flu from some people at work... any advice to make me feel better?
Eat soda crackers and drink gingerale.





Do not eat a lot until you are feeling better - no fatty foods at all.I caught a stomach flu from some people at work... any advice to make me feel better?
Mainly just make sure you don't get dehydrated if you do start vomiting or have diarrhea. I wouldn't want to get too far away from home if I thought those symptoms were going to hit me either.


As other poster said, eat a light diet until you know what's going to happen next. Nothing worse than having a belly full of pizza when a spell of vomiting strikes. Get someone to pick up some ginger ale, fresh ginger or ginger tea for you. Any of those will settle your stomach.


Just in case it is a flu or some other communicable disease it would be considerate to partially isolate yourself. Don't expose friends and family unnecessarily.


Hopefully this will pass and turn out to be nothing. Take care.
Go easy on what you eat until your stomach is feeling better. You can drink Gatorade and eat light. Stay away from greasy and spicy foods. If you like soup have that with some soda crax. Good luck!
drink gatorade and relax, even if you are feeling a little better.

Does anyone else find it weird that people here are getting advice from complete strangers?

I think its very weird.Does anyone else find it weird that people here are getting advice from complete strangers?
Yeah. But it's cool. Just for fun :)Does anyone else find it weird that people here are getting advice from complete strangers?
With my family, if it's anything important, they will evade a answer. I don't know if they are just being evasive, don't care, afraid to give the wrong advice, or just plain imbred like I suspect...
well then why are you even on here if you find it weird. And no I don't think its very weird at all...it gives you a chance to see a lot of different perspectives on things.
Not really weird getting advice, as we all have the same(most of us) problems at some time in our life, but some of the questions are rather ';far out there';.
If you think it's weird then why are you on Y!Answers? Sometimes you need some advice from people other than the ones around you.
Not really. Its abit like an advice colomn! well i suppose thats what it is?
yes, but i dont feel like going all around google to find what im looking for...so yea
well that's what this site is for





you ask a question and you get answers from real people

Are there an supernaturally gifted people who can give me love advice?

I'll donate one piece of artwork to charity for every session that we spend speaking and discussing what we are going to do. Are there an supernaturally gifted people who can give me love advice?
Sleepless, Ask yourself this question, do I prefer to be loved or do I prefer to love? After you answer this question, you need to think of the following definition of love:





1. Love is a mental disease


2. Everyone in love is blind


3. Love comes unseen, we only see it go


4. Love makes time pass, and time makes love pass


5. Love is happiness given back and forth.


6. Love is more easily illustrated than defined





This is your first lesson so you need to donate a piece of art like you promised. Are there an supernaturally gifted people who can give me love advice?



lol well im in no means supernaturally gifted but i am incredibly seductive. im 18 and i just graduated and am currently enlisted in the USAF but if your looking for love/dating advice the BEST information anyone can give you is don't get ahead of yourself in the relationship because your sure to trip up and make things awkward. the one thing i can tell you is to take things day by day.
I don't know what kind of supernatural gift you're looking for, but I've been in a gazillion relationships, and I seem to have an insane knack for helping people out with theirs. I also have dreams that come trueee... hahaha. But that's beside the point.





Rule number 1 in ';love';: Never expect anything, and always tell the truth from day one. Get all the crap on the table as soon as you can, and don't think with your crotch. :)
no but you could speak to your mom about it

For people thinking about getting Married what advice would you give them?

I've been married 4 years.





What if your cousin wanted advice from you what would you tell him or her?





What makes a marriage strong?





What makes a marriage last?For people thinking about getting Married what advice would you give them?
Choose the right partner!!!!!


I married a man with an even temperament, and it is such a blessing. He never loses his temper, or is moody.


Marry a man who wants to be married, and to you.


Always treat your partner with respect.


Be affectionate. Talk things through. And always, always, always, talk!!!!For people thinking about getting Married what advice would you give them?
Ask yourself:- Was your first attraction to your partner their looks, or were you drawn to their personality. If you were initially attracted by looks, chances are you are infatuated. That will die, given time. If you love the person, love will live on. Too may people dolly themselves up to the eyeballs, in order to attract a mate. Then they wonder why their partner is attracted to other nice looking people and not so attracted to them when their looks fade. Attract a listener, not a looker. Very few actually change after marriage.
COMMUNICATION is the key!! try to talk about everything even if it seems to be the stupidest thing TALK AND DISCUSS IT!!!





-TRUST


-LOVE


-UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER...
It is definity about compromise!!! you will not always get what you want!!
Learn to compromise.
Chemistry, respect, commonalities, friendship, comfort, good conflict-resolution, trust, happiness, same maturity despite age, cultural similarities, families like each other, positive outlook on life, willing to love the person unconditionally from start to finish, in sickness and health. Is that enough?
Communication


Trust


Love


Loyalty


Love making


Closeness


Tenderness


Time together and time apart


Respect of eachothers beleifs etc


honour and protection for eachother


Friendship and much much more



learn to talk and understand what is important to each other. some things i do not like i let go because it is just how she is and she does the same for me. Example most of the sink and dresser top is covered in junk (her fault i would throw it all out) and i got lots of truck parts somewhat organized but laying out in my yard and under my shed. Just understand each other. Talk about what each wants and is important to them.





rd
Trust. Unconditional love. Communication (before the marriage and during). Good sex! You need ALL of those in order to have a successful, long marriage.





Advice for the engaged? Discuss EVERYTHING before hand (ie: children, money, the future, personal beliefs and morals) There should be no secrets in a marriage. One other piece of advice.....for the woman: Let the little sh*t slide! Don't become a bitter, old nag.

Advice about children from people without kids?

I am a first time mother of a 4 month old little girl and I have found that the first people to point out what I am doing wrong are the people who have never had children. Has anyone else ever experienced this?Advice about children from people without kids?
OOoO My gah...i know what u mean-my cousin is like that-shes always trying to tell me what im doing wrong-yet she has no children..lol..they dont know until they have a baby running around driving them crazy-i dont understand y ppl like that try and put their 2cents in when they have no idea.Advice about children from people without kids?
Oh yes, I had that all the time when my son was in his first few months! I turned 20 just after having my son so most of my friends of my own age were still childless. I had 3 particular friends that thought they knew it all and LOVED telling me what to do. All of them had 'babysitting experience' LOL (I love that one) or younger siblings (that they were like 7 when they arrived into the world for so hardly in a position of care!). They drove me absolutely nuts. I'm not friends with any one of them any more. Two I just deliberately separated myself from and stopped returning calls because they wound me up so much (may sound harsh but they were awful, it was either that or be rude to them because I couldn't stand it how it was for much longer, and they were never brilliant friends in the first place). The other one I actually had a big show down with, fought and haven't spoke since. She was the absolute worst, she was completely obsessed with babies too to a scary extent, if we were ever in town she would walk past innocent normal looking mothers pushing strollers and loudly say ';I know I could do so much of a better job than her';. She'd never said anything that upfront to me but she constantly had little digs about what she thought I was doing wrong, and the 'show down' occurred when I left my son with her outside the toilets while I just nipped in and I got back out and she'd vanished with him and wouldn't answer her phone. I found them about half an hour later wandering around town and everything just came flooding out - I publically humiliated her and I feel very good about that!
There's always someone who feels the need to add their 2 cents, lol! You are the mom and you know what's best for your kiddos, so just ignore all the ';well intentioned advice'; and raise your kids how you see fit. :)





I do have to say though that sometimes someone may not have kids, but they still may have a lot of experience with them. My sis doesn't have any of her own, but she's had her own daycare for over 20 years and works with little ones for about 12 hours a day 5 days a week, so I think she qualifies to give advice.





Just remember, just because advice is given, doesn't mean it has to be taken.
Oh yeah, I have a sister in law that has never been married and does not have children (she is turning 40 this year). When she starts in she says to me, ';You have to realize that when you have kids......blah, blah, blah'; and


';You have to realize that when you are married...blah...blah,..blah';. I just want to flip out sometimes and tell her, ';thank you oh righteous one, I did not realize I had children or a husband and how insightful of you';. The bad thing is that she follows the beginning , ';you have to realize';, with something that lacks any kind of insight and is basic knowledge to anyone.'; It drives me nuts!
This isn't a direct answer to your question, but more of a thought as to a possible source of knowledge for some, not all of these people. If the person who is offering the advice has had a small child in their lives for an extended period of time such as through a previous partner, a family member, or a job (i.e. daycare worker), they might have something valid to say. Otherwise it is just another case of the outside looking in thinking they know all the answers and need to put in their two cents. Your mother's instincts and sense tell you what you need. Congrat's on your growing family :)
yeah - my sister is the same - u shouldnt do that, u shouldnt do this - she just tries to take over - she doesnt even want children so i dont get it, and i'm like excuse me... when u have a child u can give me advice - but it doesnt mean i'm gonna take it!





She has this thing aswell cuz i couldnt breastfeed - my milk just never came in - she brings it up in any situation or conversation or like when i'm talking about what i'm gonna do with this baby - i.e hope that my milk does come in, only to be dissapointed when it doesnt - or just buy formula - she just keeps rattling on about how breast is best - yeah... i know! but i cant breastfeed... i cant help it if my body wont do what i want it to do!





so i know what u mean.... its like pur..lease... go have kids and then u can give me advice!
Well, there are a number of things that they are speaking of which can be dismissed because they have no experience.





However, there are other things that should be taken to heart, because they are looking at it from an objective point of view.





Just something to consider.
yep... because until they actually have kids they have NO idea how hard it is. Just because something sounds good in theory does not mean it actually works in real life!





childless people should never say ';my kids will NEVER do that!'; Because yes they will... and more then once! lol
oh yes ..i had my son at 19 and everyone was telling me what to do even now they do when my son is 2 .. and they don't have children of their own . i think its jealousy because a lot of women envy people who have children when they don't.
Yes! it's usually the people with the least to say that say the most! i usually just ignore them because unless you've been there you can never really know!
Peeps in general who don't have children ARE THE FIRST ONES TO KNOCK KIDS DOWN.





It's human nature! Everyone on earth has experienced this problem - me included!
Yes, and usually they're complete strangers as well. I just give them a dirty look and ignore them.

I want to buy a shotgun and would like to hear some advice from people who owned one before.?

I have $400.00 dollars and what to buy a shotgun. I will be attending to use this shotgun for hunting mainly so the accuracy is a must (i know its a shotgun but you know what I mean) but I would like to blow some holes is some targets to, and another must I would have to have is I would like the shotgun to hold at least 6-8 shells. So I would like a shotgun that can shoot stright, hold like 8 shells, but still can shoot the smaller/bigger shells too. Whats your guys advice? Any insight in your thought in which gun you think I should buy? And if could list the price of the gun you are recommending. Thanks all!





JosephI want to buy a shotgun and would like to hear some advice from people who owned one before.?
I don't know what state you are in but some states have a three shell limit if you don't try a rem 870 for around 250 and then buy the mag extnsion for 8 or 10 rounds If i were going to use slugs I would buy a 20 gauge they tend to b a lot more accurateI want to buy a shotgun and would like to hear some advice from people who owned one before.?
i would recommend a Saiga 12. it is a semi-auto 12ga shotgun with a detachable box magazine. it only has a 6 round capacity (5 in mag. +1 in chamber), but it is one of the most reliable actions, and cycles fast.


it is a 12ga AK rifle, in a sporting configuration. they might get some weird looks at the range, but they work great.
For 400 bucks you should be able to find a decent shotgun. I am very partial to my Browning, but that is gonna cost more than what you are willing to spend (looking at a grand). If you are looking to hunt with your shotgun I would strongly reccomemend you go shoot some skeet or trap at your local range to get some practice. I go shoot a couple times a month and it give great stress relief breaking some birds (clays) and I see the benefit during dove season. Go with the 12 unless you are dont want any recoil. Inserts and/or interchangeable barrels are available for certain guns. One place you may look is at police auctions, I picked up a winchester model 150 12 guage for 100 bucks. Remington, Winchester, Savage are all good brands that you may find in your price range. Shop around the internet provides lots of opportunities. I live near San Antonio Texas and they have a gun show every month at the airport convetion center. Its a buyers market if you look around.

What can I say to people that are always giving me advice during pregnancy?

Some of it is wrong advice. And I am so sick of people telling me what I can and cannot do. I appriciate the advice, but Its quite annoying.What can I say to people that are always giving me advice during pregnancy?
Just smile and nod. Everyone wants to give advice to a pregnant or new mother. You will probably one day find yourself doing it too. Do listen to them without disregarding it though - consider and then decide. I found myself wishing I had listened to some of those crazy old ladies afterwards. :)





Something I've been saying lately is : somewhere between my sixth month of pregnancy and my baby's six month birthday, I realized that I don't know everything there is to know, and other moms do have good advice. Many people will parent very differently than you, and you will get just as many people, if not more, wanting to give you advice when you have your baby than you do with baby still inside. The only person that gets more attention than a pregnant woman is one with a newborn. :)What can I say to people that are always giving me advice during pregnancy?
So you are asking the world for advice on how to not accept advice. Funny. Thank those people and move on. They are only trying to be helpful.
say thank you or o yea a lot pf ppl have been tellin me that %26amp; move around you can't really stop em
Just politely say thanks for the advice I will give it some thought.
Just say thank you. everybody always seemd to think that a pregnant person needs advice. take it wth a grain of salt
Be diplomatic. A lot of it actually will help you. Listen and don't assume you know everything. There's something to be said for experience.
lol...I'm going through the exact same thing. I'm 20 weeks pregnant and I haven't stopped reading about it since I found out 17 weeks ago. Yet I constantly get well meaning advice from apparently, clueless people.





Politeness is all fine and good...but passing on stupid incorrect information on such an important subject is not right.





There are enough uneducated people in the world. Especially uneducated girls who end up pregnant and clueless.





I use it as an opportunity to correct these would be ';do gooders'; and school them on their misinformation as politely as possible.





Usually, they thank me and go on their merry way. Which is fine with me as they were offering unsolicited advice.





Now the unsolicited belly touching...that's a whole nother thing...don't even get me started. JEEZ people!! Keep your hands to your self!!
Tell them to go get knocked up and THEN give you the advice!
For general advice ';Thanks, I'll talk that over with my doctor/midwife'; If they're telling you to not do something (like the moron that would scold me when I had a soda in the break room at work) ';Actually, Mr. Moron, my midwife/doctor has told me I'm allowed to...have 100 mg of caffeine, lift objects that weigh up to X number of pounds, lift my arm above my head, eat a gallon of ice cream at once, etc.'; (You should probably use the person's name instead of Mr. Moron)





While it's true that you will occasionally get good advice so much of it is bumpkus that you really don't feel like deciphering it all out. I always found the best advice about parenting/pregnancy/heck, life in general is the solicited kind. I don't mind asking for help when I need it and when I ask I'm much more open to listening and following the advice I'm given.
Smile, say thank you and move on. Pregnancy brings the care-taker / mother out in all of us. Just try to remember that they mean well.





If you react, they'll blame your hormones, so you can't win.





Congratulations! and BEST of LUCK to YOU!!
Be friendly, but maybe let it slip in one ear and out the other?!


It's your baby, don't feel guilty if you are doing something they say you 'shouldn't'!
I am sorry to tell you but it just gets worse, once you have the baby. Everyone seems to know how to raise you child better than you or know more than the Dr. Best advice is to tell them now that you are going by what the Dr. says regardless of what they think. That way when they start in on the baby they will be use to hearing you say that.
