What’s the best advice you can give in exactly four words?

by eddie Sat Jul 17, 2021 9:48 pm

You can give as many as you like but try to find the perfect one. I’ll start:

Communicate honestly, every time.

Be honest with yourself

by Ben Reilly Sat Jul 17, 2021 9:52 pm

Be wary, but relax.

(The first two are better -- my first choice was along the same lines, but I didn't want to just reword/rehash those posts.)

That kind of pairs nicely with what I said.
Nice.

The two statements are a contradiction in terms

To be wary requires a state of distrust and thus unlikely to induce a position of trust for people Ben

How can people relax in a state of conflict

Hence

Trust your own instincts

I was trying to say that you have to find a balance between vigilance and trust, that you can't fall too far into either.

I know you were, but my point was in regards to you as a person Ben that cares

Hence trust your own instincts every time

We trust people we come to know, that is the vigilant aspect to take here

So we all start from a position of distrust, until we come to know people, but why do we do this?

You can only relax when you come to know people better

Hence why it was a contradiction in terms

By being wary only relaxes by you getting to know someone better

Hardly anyone takes people at face value

Is that wrong?

Maybe, but because of crime, it has made people wary and rightly so

Its near impossible to relax when in a state of wariness

Its animal nature

Here’s another:

Stay in the moment.

by Syl Sun Jul 18, 2021 12:39 am

Live and let live.

Follow your own path.

Treat others with kindness.

by Ben Reilly Sun Jul 18, 2021 12:41 am

One for myself, but I think it probably applies to others as well:

Don't forget about fun.

by Eilzel Sun Jul 18, 2021 7:48 am

Believe in yourself more.

by Ben Reilly Sat Jul 31, 2021 10:43 am

Get the Covid jab!

I know, but still.

You ain't necessarily right.

There's more to it.

Fine, okay, sure, yeah.

Don't outsmart yourself, dude.

by Syl Sat Jul 31, 2021 1:00 pm

I wish more people (including me at times would...

Close gob open ears. silent

by eddie Sat Jul 31, 2021 10:27 pm

Less words, more action.

by Ben Reilly Sat Jul 31, 2021 10:46 pm

Stay young -- keep learning.

by eddie Sat Jul 31, 2021 10:56 pm

Your first impression matters.

by Ben Reilly Sat Jul 31, 2021 11:02 pm

Everyone has a story.

I have to have a counterpoint for that:

Some stories are lies.

Lies are often revealing.
