Advices
One thing the world has no shortage of is advice. All of us are very good at giving advice but when it comes to receiving advice, it’s a different story all together. I suppose it could be that we have already made up our mind what to do, or what not to do. There is also the doubt whether what we are receiving is good advice.
Good advice is everywhere, but only those people with an open heart will benefit from it. Here are some opinions on advices.
A good scare is worth more to a man than good advice. - Ed Howe
Advice is like castor oil, easy enough to give but dreadful uneasy to take. - Josh Billings
No one can give you better advice than yourself. - Cicero
Advice is seldom welcome, and those who need it the most, like it the least. - Lord Chesterfield Stanhope
Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t. - Erica Jong
Ask advice only of your equals. - Danish Proverb
Don’t follow any advice, no matter how good, until you feel as deeply in your spirit as you think in your mind that the counsel is wise. - Dr. David Seabury
It takes a great man to give sound advice tactfully, but a greater to accept it graciously. - Logan Pearsall Smith
Many receive advice, few profit by it. - Publilius Syrus
Most people when they come to you for advice, come to have their own opinions strengthened, not corrected. - Josh Billings

Vincent, if you don't mind some advice...ha ha, just kidding!
Here, you can have my advice. I have no use for them. :-)
Howdy sir Vincent! "Every man, however wise, needs the advice of some sagacious friend in the affairs of life. - Titus M. Plautus" what in the world is that sagacious word mean? I need to find the dictionary online to use. lol.
Meaning of sagacious:
Having or showing keen discernment, sound judgment, and farsightedness.
In other words, someone like me. ;-)
haha! when you look up that word and we see your picture there we know what it means, the Sage of Singapore! I like the sound of that, it has a good ring to it.
