We all have cherished advice from cherished mentors (mothers, fathers, grandparents, favorite aunts, uncles, teachers, older siblings, etc).

What's the best advice you've gotten from a "contemporary"?




-As a teen at one of my first jobs, I was "doing the hokey-pokey" not knowing where to start an incredible amount and volume of different tasks.

A friend/workmate said, "Don't think about it, just rush it Man".

Ever since then, when overwhelmed, I just pick a point and "GO".
It may not be the right "point", but I always figure it out. I know since then that I just have to Start.

Has a friend ever helped you out like that?

My old college roomie told me "Let's get drunk". I really wish I hadn't listened to that guy so much....but he was LOTSA fun to be around!

Both 15 and of similar mindsets, but my buddy was smarter than I on this day. He said,


"What the !V<# do you mean....you're *playing hard to get*?" (I don't even remember where I got THAT BS).....but I remember him going on...

"Does she even KNOW that you are PLAYING? You'd better go talk to her Dude!"

Some of the best advice I've ever gotten...and at 15 to be put on the path to STOP playing games........drinker Thanks Dominic!!!
