If I ask you what is the best advice you have been given ever, what would it be? For me it is ‘believe in yourself’. The other day my parents said to me this when I began to question myself. Now, I am always ready and capable to face any kind of challenges with a lot of confidence.

My favorite advice is 'Do what makes you happy.' My teacher said this when I was in dilemma on whether to take art or math. A few years ago. And I was so happy I did.
Never look for people's validation in anything that you do. If you do, it's going to take away your happiness in life and also cost you your self esteem.
This is one of the best advice I got from my mentor.

I have received a lot of good advices in the past and one of them was don't start something you can't finish. Meaning if I know I won't be able to continue helping in one way or the other, there is no point starting it.
It should be me to always do away with people with bad behaviour I noticed the first time there's no need keeping them as they never change
I would say that it depends on what you're doing on those social networking websites. If you're there for business reasons to make money, it's never a waste of time.
Even when you are rich , do not gamble your money on casino. I do not apply that advice and l lose a lot .
Betting can destroy one's life whether you are rich or poor. It is very important that we avoid that as long as we want to make it in life.
The best advice someone ever gave me is to focus on building meaningful relationships and prioritizing self care. It really taught me some life experiences.
The best piece of advice I got was around the time that I was putting a lot of time into things that I could not change, or to change without a lengthy process and a movement behind it. It was frustrating to use that unproductive time dwelling on something I couldn't control.
That's when, about 5 years ago, there was a YouTuber who stated something along the lines of this during a live stream:
I quickly wrote it down because it was so impactful, even though him having said off the cuff to a random chatter.
I almost immediately put that advice to practice, and my stress levels went down. It doesn't necessarily mean that I fully accept the uncontrollable, because change can be made, but I don't put the same time and effort into changing something that I can't change immediately when I could be doing something that does have an immediate impact.

Some suggested that I give a public presentation.
I was extremely nervous and had always had social anxiety before that. I did the presentation, and it was horrible. I stared at one person the entire time. He felt uncomfortable, LOL. I stuttered, slurred my speech, and couldn't come up with answers to questions.
That speech was in front of about 12 people.
I tried it again. This time in front of around 100 people. It went great. The presentation was great, and the questions were all answered.
I usually do around 10 presentations a year now. Only now I get paid for them. They're always great and people are happy about it.
Doing that took away my social anxiety. Best advice I ever got

Building meaningful relationships is quite essential for anyone who is looking to make it higher in life. Life's not a bed of roses and Building a relationship that matters should be the business of anyone who intends to make it out of life.
The best advice that I have ever received is that I should never depend on anyone for anything because people are not infallible. That advise has helped me to kill any form of dependency and entitlement. That's why I can't depend on even my parents.
Get married, have children!
I never thought myself as a husband and father material and never desired to get married, by my parents, relatives and friends always told me to get married.
Now, I am married and have kids, and I am a happy man.

When I was feeling bad a dejected due to certain relationship failures, one friend of mine told me 'All good things must come to an end, its not fair to feel this way'.
Since then, I have always prepared for the worst in my life and preparing for it makes the journey far smoother than what I anticipate.

The best advise that I have ever received is to stay my lane and never get influenced by the success of others to want to run their races. That advise has helped me to stay focused on my path as a person.
