Advice About Advice
Have you ever come across contradicting advice?
You might have read a book by someone you admire and they say that if you want similar results, you should do X.
However some time later, you come across another piece of advice by someone else in a similar position. But the advice is completely opposite to the previous advice you received. They say that you should avoid X and do Y instead.
So now you have two different people, both at a level you want to achieve, telling you different things.
Let's take a look at why that is and see whose advice you should listen to.

"ideas are like tools" this explains everything , thank you .
The answer is extremely simple, different situations need different solutions. It’s not about doing one or the other, it’s about finding a balance that’s unique to each person and each situation. Therefor there isn’t really anyone who “has it all figured out”.

This is probably the only advice that could apply to everyone
It takes many iterations to have any chance to come near the objective truth. People grow, they change and attain new knowledge - yesterday's me, is not today's me
This is a BRILLIANT video! "What go you here won't get you there." How true. This made me feel less guilty for dismissing certain ideas and even people because my priorities changed over time. Thank you!
Just when i was caught up between listening to Allan Watts and David Goggins, this is just perfect.
when he said "thanks for watching" i immediately said "thanks for sharing" lol

Also its important to note that even if they are contradicting they can be equally successful in the same scenario. People are just going to recommend the one that has done well for them

This video is the perfect response for all those comments everywhere (other videos, forums, etc.) complaining about how particular advice or idea isn't perfect or doesn't apply to them now.
This is similar to how every person who asked prophet Muhammad (pbuh) "what is the best deed I should do to go to paradise" got a different answer. The advices were specific to each individual, and directed to their character traits which needed improving.
So basic ideas in this video, yet so useful and important. My dad once told me "dont underestimate the significance of the obvious things"... i think it aply perfectly to this topic.
People have different temperaments, abilities, tools and situations. So it's pretty clear not every approach will be the same. It's like how you can beat an RPG playing as a hack and slash warrior, stealthy assassin, ranged bowman, or a magic caster, etc. Wildly different philosophies of combat, but they all get the job done regardless. Context matters as well.
This is a very good video, very easy to understand. FYI. I like the "ideas are like tools" analogy. Thanks for making this video.

Best advice ive heard in a LONG time.... i was wondering this recently. Is this google reading my mind🤯😱
I love how all of your videos think ahead to the future and bypass extended trial and error.
The hard work you're putting in now will be worth it in the long run.
*This is what I was thinking right now, then I came across your video just after reading the LOA* (Law Of Attraction) ,that says- *You attract what you constantly think of*
On the one hand it's good that you made this video. On the other hand, it is sad and worrying that you have to explain something that is so obvious: every problem has it's own solution.
What works for one may or may not work for another. Everybody is different
Thank you very much for your efforts to explain everything to us in such a beautiful and creative way.
Omg you are such an incredible personality decoder. I started to like your videos. You incredibly explained it very well. You are so awesome!
I really believe this channel deserves more viewers and following because it is an awesome channel! keep up the good content!
I just admire this channel...
The lesson is listen to advice from people admire, but ONLY if you’re being mindful of yourself. Always come back to the context you yourself are living in.
We should take advice on the behalf of someone who knows each bit of you And the person is you you and only you!!!🙂🙂🙂

@@simonelastname5182 as to my opinion you are the only one who has happened to be at every point and circumstances happened in your life so no one better can know you but if you feel that you don't know yourself then spend some time alone and with yourself to get better understanding of yourself
This video made so much difference in my life perspective. Thanks again 🌸
Just gold. ❤ Thank you!
Brilliantly explained. You should be proud of yourself
Your Videos are actually unique and solve real problems
Thank you. I feel better than yesterday.
There are more than one answer to most questions out there
I've learned alot of these video. You can choose what is good or bad. Thank u
Thanks a lot brother!🤗
When one guy tells you "Do X", and the other tells you "Do Y", then "Do Z" is usually a good option :)
BROTHER I AM FROM INDIA.YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO WONDERFUL.THEY ARE COMPACT BUT YET THE MOST IMFORMATIVE
Thanks for making this video
I really appreciate your videos. I like finding new ways to approach life. However, it should be clarified that it's a myth that introverts say "no" because they are always shy or always have social anxiety. Plus it's also a myth that extroverts say "yes" because they can't resist social events. Introversion and Extroversion are the ways people process life. It's not a trait like being shy or being gregarious. Introversion is when someone processes and recharges better alone or in smaller, intimate groups while extroversion is when some processes and recharges better in team settings with a lot of people. Choosing the correct tools comes from self-awareness and reflection about which process works for you. Research all the ideas, until you feel you've found all of them, then choose the idea that connects to your processing style. Thank you for the video!😊
Wow this makes a lot of sense I watched two videos now, subcribing!
One of your best videos. Views on KZread don't reflect the value of the video unfortunately.
I'd say that some tips can be applied in several ways. It could be good advice for Mike if he, say, takes on too many tasks at work because his social anxiety makes it hard for him to say no to those things.
Great video, for one more time!
Amazing channel, it's helped me a lot
i really like your channel i saw today is really helpful for me I'm gonna watch all your videos .
Thanks a lot..... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The best advice is to listen to yourself, set your goal and work on it
Believe in yourself, and do what suits you, rather than comparing with everyone:) And true at a given point of time, the relevance changes:) Tools🙌

Fair enough
The example you gave with the homeless person makes it sound like they are not trying hard enough to get a job. This is quite a bad stereotype not based in reality. Living on the street is extremely hard and if they could get a job they would take it. Your advise are very good, so please don't undermine them by saying something like that.
0:08 Every artist: *yes*
Both, do both! Does life need to be an either or proposition?
I love your chanel
Simplified version of this is balance everything and don’t lean into something too much. Also take advice that applies to you. Advice that hasn’t applied to you yet could apply to you later. So remember it.
EXCELLENT ..¡¡¡
The point is: different advice for different situations, for different kinds of people to reach a certain goal
Don't Say Yes Don't Say No Just Say Yesn't
It all sound very simple if not for one important fact: We seek advices because we don't know what to do. And if we don't know what to do, how the hell can we tell what advice work for us? Take Mike for example. it's easy for outside people to say that Mike should learn to say "yes". But if Mike know that, then he would not ask for advice in the first place, wouldn't he? Mike ask advice because he confuse about his position. Should he go out more? Or should he just stay the way he is? After all, there are many introverts whose lives turn out just fine. If that person on the internet has just openly admited that his advice may not work in Mike's situation, then how can Mike know if he should follow the advice or not? Some of you may say: well, then just try each advice for a while and see how it work for you. That's all fine and dandy but then, how long should I try? Many advice emphasis on doing something for a long period of time. Practice make perfect after all. What if I try something for a long time and waste tons of energy and turn out it's completely not for me. What then?

Truth comes in contradictary pair
*What is your full time job? Or is it KZread?*
I know I tend to get frustrated when I come across very generalized advice that's sold as a "one size fits all" solution, mostly because I know how awful it is when someone tries to shove advice they're really fixated on onto people it won't benefit, then shame them for not following their advice because they believe everyone thinks/feels the exact same way they do. I dunno, I've just seen it happen enough between people I respect and who are both intelligent and thoughtful and it makes me feel extremely frustrated and helpless that despite how smart they are they see each other as idiots. I suppose it's not really anything I can do much about - especially when they aren't people I know personally, so I shouldn't waste so much energy being distressed about it, but it's hard to just not care.

Because people's life contradicate with one another and no 2 human beings live in the same way....
your description of introverts is flawed: introverts don't have social anxiety; shy people do! Introverts are simply people who spend more energy with other people than alone, whereas extroverts spend more energy alone than with other people.

Hey Louis. Social anxiety and introversion were meant to be portrayed as standalone traits. Sorry if my wording confused you.
