We always seem to be seeking advice in life, whether about relationships, work, or anything else. But do we actually follow the advice we receive? Usually not. We take for granted all of the wise words we grow up hearing from our parents, grandparents, and other trusted people, which doesn’t always work out for the best. There usually comes a moment in life when we realize how true and helpful these words of wisdom actually are. To show you what we mean, we collected a list of advice people always take for granted – but shouldn’t.
#1: What Comes Around Goes Around
Just like rumors and gossip, compliments travel through the grapevine. If you compliment people instead of saying mean things, the people you talk about will eventually hear about it. If you build a reputation for being a serial complimenter, you’ll definitely be considered more trustworthy among your friends.
Even if your compliments never return to the person, it’s still a good way to spread positive energy. Everyone wants to feel supported by their friends and acquaintances, and complimenting someone is a simple way to do that. We’d rather be known for being a good friend rather than a back-stabbing gossip!
