Answer 1

Advice : Wise men don't need it, Fools won't heed it !!!!

Answer 2

The worst advice I was ever given was by a law professor who told me to take the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test) even though I'd just been diagnosed with mono and couldn't keep my eyes open long enough to do a thing. I had already registered for the test and was two weeks away from taking it when I first got sick. Since the LSAT is such a crucial part of getting into law school, I didn't want to take my chances. So, I decided to not take the test and postponed it by one year in order to get my health back. I'm so glad I didn't take the advice of that professor. I ended up having the mono come back out of remission and was so incredibly ill for 10 months solid. I'm just barely getting back on my feet again and am getting ready again for the test, which I take on Sept. 30th. Sometimes the best advice is the advice not taken.

Answer 3

worst suggestion: "do in simple terms it, it fairly is extra effective then in simple terms staying homestead all day " - i did no longer take this suggestion perfect suggestion: whether you think of a few thing is a robust thought, incredibly think of with regard to the outcomes it could have and weigh all positives and negatives earlier making a large determination sturdy success! Your tooth will look impressive quickly :)

Answer 4

Somebody sent me an email which stated that we shouldn't judge our partners by their families, educational background and the like, that sounded great at the time...then I found this gal and applied just that... She seemed fine but her family...well, they are nearing troglodyte status...

The results were that I got married to a true redneck! Thankfully that marriage lasted only a year and a half...

Answer 5

That my daughters slow growth was ok because she was small and that she would grow along her own growth curve. Turns out she is a special needs child with SGA and that slow growth for her is very complicated and warrants the use of injectable growth hormone in order for her to reach her target height.

Answer 8

That my best friend was sleeping with my girlfriend.....another friend said it was happening. I believed her. I ended up dumping my girlfriend a few weeks after that. My friend who said it was happening later admitted that she made it all up, because I wasn't hanging out with her enough.........this was all 3 years later. I immediately contacted my best friend, who as in true best friend form accepted my stupidity/apology. I never heard from the girl I was dating at the time again. I did add another friend to the not talking to anymore list....the friend who lied.
