What do u prefer as a gift: $500,000 or a piece of advice that can inspire your life forever?

Question

why?

Answer 1

1/2 mil. i can pay for an experts advice then, and still be rich

Answer 2

I would prefer the $500,000 right now, for slightly different reasons. If I were single and neither my parents nor my friends wanted for anything, my temperament would make choosing the advice too intriguing a risk to pass up. I'm certain of that, from past experience.

However, my parents are retired. Both of have serious medical concerns, and sewing retirement and Social Security together still doesn't make a full blanket warm enough to cover everything. John and I are raising two children, and shared custody agreements don't make raising children inexpensive. We sacrifice many things-even our own medical care-to make it happen.

I'll take the money, and pay attention to things that happen every day. I see insipiration all the time, but I don't know when I'll see the night when I can lay my head on my pillow and know that I need fear for no one I love.

Answer 3

Good question, this one is a though one. At first glance most would say the money. Money however can not buy happiness money is only temporary and can not last forever. The advice can easily be worth more than the money because it can give you something more than the money. The advice can make you a better person and maybe for instance teach you to love. Love does not have a monetary value because it is worth more than all the money in the world. The advice can get you to be more than who you are now so the advice would be the best choice.

Answer 4

A divine influence which is inspiration means more to a person than half a million dollars ever could mean. Always inspire me Lord because God will always meet my needs.
This piece of advice would have to come from the Lord. Only the Lord can inspire someone's life forever.

Answer 5

What would inspire my life forever would be the gift of $500,000. Because it would be spent to advance my life to that of no debt and higher education giving me a higher paying job which would help me take care of those I love.

Answer 6

Definitely the $500,000 I can use that alot more than a piece of advice right about now

Answer 7

The cash.

Advice is only useful if you happen to be in the same situation as the person giving the advice. The giver can only provide information based on their personal experience -- so the lifelong nature is likely to be untrue.

The cash would allow me to launch a few pet project leading to the employment of others and reducing barriers in the community for those who are disadvantaged.

Answer 8

I think the $500,000 can Inspire my life forever!!!

Answer 9

i'd take the advice, because although the cash may help some people, advice lasts a lifetime and you can pass it on forever without it ever running out =}

Answer 10

Good question. for most people who wants cash, i guess they're looking for capital gain. what most people don't realise is, it is short termed. you can lie to yourself but for most people, the bigger the prize, the shorter its lifespan. hahaha.

i'd take the advice that can inspire my life forever.

it is my personal belief that we should get something that is continuous, rather than a One-Hit-Wonder. life should not be happy/inspirational/exciting in short bursts, it should be felt throughout!!! that is my reason.

thanks for asking =)

Hope this helps, Peace.

Answer 11

advice is not as valuable as a guaranteed half a mil.
The best advice in the world is not wisdom, it's not experience, it's not a skill, it's not a license. It's only a piece of information that happens to be correct.
A wad of money trumps a wad of words any day of the week :)
