Bad advices widely accepted (2)

I recently published the first portion of this article, in which I identified a number of commonly accepted wrong advices and explained why they are incorrect, some of which are included below.

• Never to bed angry

• Always be yourself

• There are plenty fishes in the river

• If you ask a girl out and she says no, keep trying

• Money doesn't buy happiness

• You're still young

To check out the reasons why I said they are bad advices click here

I would love to add more to the list of the bad advices but before I do so

1. Fake It Till You Make It

There's nothing wrong with feigning confidence; some of us aren't naturally confident, perhaps due to insecurities or other issues, so feigning confidence when you fall into this group isn't a terrible thing; you'll be more receptive to opportunities.

If you're faking it till you make it it actually depends on what you're faking. Imagine living a fake life and you're still struggling, you'll start living a phony life and spending your savings to match the fake life you're living.

Actually, if you're faking your life, nothing will change; you'll either linger worse or cause ruin to your life, and as a result, you'll miss out on many possibilities to achieve since those who genuinely want to help you will assume you're already successful, not realizing you're faking it.

2. There's No Right Time To Have A Baby Just Do It

This has to be the most horrifying thing I've ever heard; it makes no sense to have a baby you aren't capable of caring for; you simply want to send the baby here to suffer.

The answer is simple: don't have children if you aren't ready to take on the duty of caring for them, and avoid doing anything that could lead to you having children you can't care for.

3. Do What Makes You Happy

This is a fantastic saying because doing what makes you happy will ensure that you are mentally stable and in good health.

This could also be a really bad piece of advise. Have you ever considered telling a murderer, a thief, or a terrorist to do whatever makes them happy? I'm sure you can guess what happens next.

4. Live Life Like There's No Tomorrow

I'm sure you've heard this someplace if you're a Nigerian. Young men who make money illegally frequently say things like "enjoy life like there's no tomorrow" or "next day is unknown."

They spend lavishly their entire lives, with no savings or investments, and when tomorrow arrives, they have nothing since they squandered all of their money while they were still young.

As they grew older, they would come to regret everything they had done, wishing they could have planned for the tomorrow they had rejected because they imagined it would not exist.

Final Thoughts

Seeking advice is entirely fine. When asking advise from a friend or loved one who has dealt with similar issues to yours, take the time to understand what you're doing and don't try to accept the negative sides of the advice. With practice, you may develop more effective problem solving solutions, widen your thinking, and improve your decision making skills.
