What’s a common piece of advice people give that you believe is completely wrong?

In my org seniors often give random advice, most of it is useless. For example, they once told me that don’t work for money, work for problems, you’ll get money as a outcome.

Probably a senior

A couple of other posts are on what unmarried men / women look for in their potential spouses. Married folks, based on your experience, what advice would you give people as they are going through the journey of figuring out the right partner.

If I had gotten this advice during my undergrad, I would have done things very differently. Maybe for most of us it might feel a little out of touch but it tells you the realest advice. "Focus on what matters, not on what looks better" ❤️ Your time is precious. Share this with someone who needs this advice. ✨

Why do relatives feel that they should always talk about doing things the right way and how do they know what they say is the right way? Some examples - - to lose weight, focus on walking and fully come to normal BMI and then only do weight training. But, research suggests weight training to be more beneficial for both weight loss and increasing metabolism - we should drink hot water to lose weight. What?😂 - get married early and marriage is the only way to go! - our screen time shouldn't be more with mobile, but rather with tv - don't use earphones, they damage ears - Some fruits are beneficial for diabetes Don't get me wrong, I love relatives. I just don't enjoy someone giving advice when I didn't ask them. Especially when I can't trust their source of information for anything - life advices, religion, shastra, traditions, women's rights etc. And, I am really tired fighting battle and tackling so much misinformation about everything. All I do is just listen to them and move on! Wanted to know what do you guys do?
