John Scalzi's weekend assignment is recounting the worst piece of advice that we've ever given, and the worst piece of advice that we've ever received. The answers are simple for me.
The worst piece of advice that I have ever given: well, since I have selective memory (this is a good thing because I don't have to endure reliving uncomfortable moments over and over), I honestly don't remember the worst advice I have ever given. I can tell you that I know I have given my share, I just can't remember any one piece specifically.
The worst piece of advice that I ever received: I am a classic Type A personality and without trying to be pompous I must admit that I listen to advice that is given but have rarely taken it. I instead chose to walk the beaten path of the damned and make my own decisions. Sometimes that has been good, other times (and probably more often) it has been not so good. (the frustration that my poor Mom had to endure!) Unfortunately, selective memory doesn't play a part in this one and I have had to relive my bad choices over and over and over again in my head. Great on the old self esteem!
So much for that weekend assignment!
