An Ironic Parody called "Advice on Life"

Somehow in our life whether we want to or not, we all give advices. It can be a good advice or really bad one, sometimes it’s idiotic and most of the time it’s just for the heck of it. Unfortunately what’s sad is that even when we do give advice, 90% of time we know we should be the last person giving it.

It’s not that we saying the wrong things or pointing in the wrong direction, rather majority of the time when we know it should not be us saying it, is because we don’t follow it our self. It’s like a porn star giving teenagers advice about having safe sex; it just doesn’t feel or seem right.

I am not saying that it is wrong for the person in the above scenario to be giving that advice, rather to be honest no one but he/she (the porn star) understands the importance of having safe sex. It’s just that he/she is not the right role model to show the teenager the importance of it.

We all know right from wrong, and we all at some point in our lives follow the wrong path even when we do know it’s wrong. It is this following the wrong path that makes us learn from things in life and understand how valuable they are.

It’s funny how when we have done a wrong thing and have learned from it, that when we see someone else going in that same wrong direction we immediately give them the advice of NOT TO DO IT and how bad it is for them and just hope against hope that they listen to you.

What all of this has got me thinking is that is it wrong for us to give advice to others when we know we are the last person who should be giving it? Is it being hypocritical of us to wish that they listen to you and not follow the wrong path when you yourself first committed that same mistake to be able to actually understand the true value of it today? Is it not better for someone to commit that mistake and learn from it first hand and understand the true value of it than just take your word for it?

I know the thinking about the above will vary from person to person. I am not looking for much input on that here. Rather, I just am curious as to what thought, it provokes.

5 ways to Happy Life

There are certain things that I have noticed that i believe that if people follow will lead them not only to have a good time with all, but will also help them to be Happy in Life.... :) .....hear are 5 of them : -

1. Never have expectations
The biggest disappointment that people face are that the things they expected never happened or didn't go the way they wanted it to go. So the 1st thing and the most important thing that you can do is let go of the expectations, believe me you will be in for a lot of good surprises when things do happen and will not even notice them if they don't.

2. Don't think about the Past or the Future
The 2nd most idiotic thing that people have a tendency of doing is dwelling in the past or thinking about the future, learn to live in the present, remember that dwelling in the past will only lead to comparison with the present and they are not always make you happy or will lead you to disappointment, or thinking about the future will lead you to have expectations thus leading to our point no. 1. Just know that time changes people and things (its called evolution if you remember) and there is no way to predict which way it will go.

3. Don't worry about the mistakes you make or you might make
Anyone who says that they are perfect and don't make mistakes are lying, Dude you are human remember???? Mistakes are the part of life and sometimes making them gives us a reality check, rather than regretting them or dreading them look at them, learn and MOVE ON. Rather than fearing what might people say or that they might laugh at you, laugh with them, it would look hilarious to you in few years anyway, why not just look at them that way right now.

4. Be your self
Leaders don't follow they lead, why change yourself and follow others when you know that you can lead others yourself. Just being yourself will give you self respect and respect from others. There are others just like you and they will eventually follow you. Leaders are not born, they are made, and being yourself and believing in yourself will make you into that leader.

5. Learn to comparmise your Ego but not your Pride


The biggest mistake that i have seen people make is that either they become too egoistic and hurt others or they give up their pride and end up hurting them selves, you need to realize that your Pride is not your Ego....there is a thin line between them but not so thin that you don't seem to differ one from other. Your Ego will never let you do things for others but your Pride will....
