>> There is no such thing as universal advice. All advice is useful in some context, but no advice is useful in all contexts.

The interesting thing is some advice is pretty good for almost all-contexts (e.g. "If you feel like killing yourself, don't.")

Some advice is very good for its specific context "When playing chess, a knight is worth about 3 pawns."

Some advice sounds good, but is completely impractical or even bad "Never give up, never surrender." "Dance like nobody is watching"

I find, usually the best tidbits of information (e.g. /r/lifeprotips) don't try to be too brief or cutesy. They are fine being specific "It can be rude to joke about when a married couple is going to have kids. They may already be trying"
