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 https://read.cash/@Freedom007/bad-advices-widely-accepted-04e62d72 I would love to add more to the list of the bad advices but before I do so `Kindly check out my awesome sponsors` **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. Thank you for reading 💙 @Ling01 thanks for the sponsorship payment I really appreciate I hope I wouldn't disappoint you.

Any advice turns out bad if the doer's intentions are bad. However, I would have to agree with you on number 2. Making babies should come next if and only you are ready with the responsibilities.
That's the main reason of given birth, you must be able to take care of them
I think it is case to case basis. It is okay to give advice or receive an advice. Bottom line is, you will always have the decision. You are the one to blame for such actions.
We all actually need advices from people that have gone through some challenges we are going through now, so we won't make same mistakes they made
You're right.. I've heard many of those advices given to people,we shouldn't try to accept the negative side of the advice.Btw we shouldn't try to give birth if we aren't ready.
I think most people usually go for the negative side of advices because Maybe it's easier to do it
Yes, you are undoubtedly right! Each proverb is only good in a specific situation.
blindly accepting and being influenced by someone's saying is always worse rather we need to think rationally of everything by ourselves
I agree with what you said. Think for yourself and make what seems to be the correct choice. You can do research or ask an expert but in general don't just go for it by whatever someone says.
Yes you are right, some of the sayings in our days are not exactly correct and should stop coming across our minds. If someone goes to bed angry is totally fine because if you try relaxing about an idea that is making you really mad and you fail to do so it will result in even more madness so just sleep and it's over. Good article and it had to be done. I personally don't like most of these sayings. There is one more that is "Do it before you're X age" which also doesn't matter since we are already living our life, Do it before the age of 20 or 30 is not a good advice or saying.
There is nothing wrong going to bed early for me, it's just the best possible way to be calm
I can't help but agreeing with all your words. If we try to fool the world by living a fake happy life then it will hurt only us at the end so there is no need to do this thing without any proper reason. 'Do what you makes happy ' indeed it is a very good saying but if you can feel happiness by destroing other's lives or hurting someone then it is really bad so first of all we have to understand what is good and what is bad not only for ourselves but also for others too.
All these are truths that most of us can relate to in the society. What breaks Mt heart is giving birth to children you can't cater for. What makes it more depressing is the fact that they never had the choice to tell Gos the kind of parents that would love to have. I live in the nor then part of the country and when I see some " almajiris" sleeping outside in the cold with hunger makes me very sad.
Well I think its the way people apply these advice's. The intention of the advice I am sure its for a good thing.
It's awesome advice dear. I want to apply it to people. The points you have made are actually very valid.
Out of all of these, I so much detest fake it till you make it. Weldone for compiling these beautiful pieces together
