ADVICE
Advice is seldom welcome, and those who want it the most always like it the least.
Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer, but wish we didn’t.
When your mother asks if you want a piece of advice, it is a mere formality.
It doesn’t matter if you answer yes or no — you are going to get it anyway.
My advice is to take a second out of the day today and be thankful for your family.
