What’s a wise piece of advice for anyone?

If you loan anyone $ and expect to be repaid get it in writing, even if it is a smaller amount. Because for some reason people will promise to pay back by a certain time & then put off the payments & eventually say it was a gift if you don’t.

@LukeTheDuke Drifters, scum, and losers, usually. I expected things like that from the people who lived at the homeless shelter where I worked...but I never expected it from a co-worker.

Good for you getting the money back from the devious so and so. @cherokeepatti

@LukeTheDuke I didn’t feel obligated to keep my side of the promise after she failed to keep hers. When she said she’d pay the next payday I expected that. We all figured out she didn’t want to be exposed & every time we shamed her she would pay back some of the money.

When in doubt, ask random strangers for advice.

LukeTheDuke · M

Maybe for some problems, but not all problems. @MarkPaul

1) You're safer telling a complete stranger your problems than someone you know.

2) Nobody will envy you more and be as spiteful as your closest friend. Keep them close but not close enough to hurt you.

LukeTheDuke · M

Yes and yes. @Sapio

repeat the good things that happen in your life, so that they become memories. that way you have more positive memories in your head then bad ones.

LukeTheDuke · M

Nice 👍@AliceinWonderland

Don’t give up on yourself

LukeTheDuke · M

Yes, but sometimes it’s hard to battle on, but I agree we must try. @Syktur

Syktur · 26-30, M

@LukeTheDuke it’s the hardest thing you’ll ever do.

SW-User

Challenge yourself in every challenge that you face.

LukeTheDuke · M

Despite how challenging that might be! @SW-User

SW-User

@LukeTheDuke Yup! And don't forget to always look on the bright side of life. :)

Don’t sweat the small stuff

LukeTheDuke · M

Yes indeed. @ButterRobot

DragonFruit · 61-69, M

@ButterRobot That would have been terrible advice for me....the small details need someone to sweat over them, or everything falls apart.

ButterRobot · 51-55, M

@DragonFruit that’s not really how I interpret it. It’s more like don’t stress if your coffee is a bit cold.

Don't bother chasing someone who doesn't want you.

LukeTheDuke · M

Generally yes. But some people can start out as initially uninterested and then warm to you. But generally it is better to go for people who show a clear mutual interest. @latinbutterfly
