Random advice

in Coffee lounge
I saw a sort of game on skint dad FB where there was a discussion of random advice. Good advice but not specific to anyone or any situation and thought it could be good here.

Examples

-When you're cooking the recipe is just for reference but if you're baking think of it as law 

-If you get a weird email or something unexpected by text, never click the link


What random but good advice would you give someone else?

    No one else has any? Another silly one I was always told "Don't eat yellow snow"

    If something seems too good to be true it probably is

    Always choose the second cheapest bottle of wine from the wine list in a restaurant

    When driving you should always be able to come to a complete stop in the section of road that you can see in front of you

    Don’t believe anything you hear and only half what you see. (Not a great one tbh)

    If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. 

    Its the wolf which makes the caribou strong.

    I need this printed somewhere. I overthink stuff and overcomplicate it and forget the simplest answer is usually the actual one

    Yes so true, saved me from many a scam keeping this in mind. Although I wonder if there's been opportunities I've missed too

    Be careful what you wish for 

    I always wished I could stat home parent so my boy didn't have to go to childminders and school clubs 

    But I got my wish when I became a single parent and disabled in the same year (it wasn't how I wished it would be )

    Treat other people how you would like to be treated and you never know what is going on in someone else's life

                Ask your parents about their life. It wasn't until my parents were no longer here I realised how little I knew.  :(
