This sounds more like advice that he's gathered or been given that seemed the best to him. I think that's fair. People give young people advice a lot. Also becoming a dad makes one feel quite a bit older. Now it would be interesting to see him reflect back on these in 30 years...

Turning down advice on the principal that someone is "only 30" is going to leave you missing out on lots of good advice as well. People, regardless of age, may have insights that you lack. Throwing it out wholesale is as foolish as blindly accepting it.

Agree that taking real life experience and wisdom from people is good regardless of age. This blog is just generic quotes though.
