I’m in my 30s and I could fill up hundreds of pages with all the crappy advice I’ve been given over my life by well-meaning people. Yes, some advice is helpful, and it is helpful to know when you’re stuck and need some new ideas, but I think in most cases advice is overrated. Try things out yourself, make your own mistakes, figure out what works for you, and what doesn’t. You will learn more from the struggle, and the lessons will be cemented much deeper. Don’t be afraid to fail.

Overall, I agree with the spirit of the post, but there is a benefit to let others fail and report results to you. If you manage to distill wisdom from their failures, you may be able to avoid those yourself and save yourself the trouble that could result.

The trick, naturally, is spotting bad advice and unreliable advice giver.
