I never weigh myself. That’s the best advice I can give – never step on a scale. You know if you’re being healthy, if you’re exercising. You don’t need to be undermined by some crazy number.
27

Be true to yourself, stay focused and stay you, take advice from other folks, use what you can, but never mind what is not for you. For the most part, trust yourself and believe in what you are doing.

34
35

I would have never wanted to write another management book. There are so many of them, and everybody says the same thing about them, and they are all the same – they give the exact same advice.

85

87
I don’t think I have ever taken any ‘offbeat‘ advice. Actually, I don’t know I take any advice very often. I trust my own instincts and seek out information so I can make fully informed decisions. That’s what’s worked for me.

93
94
95
We give advice by the bucket, but take it by the grain.
96

114
115
Sorry; I have no space left for advice. Just do it.

122
I feel arrogant trying to give people advice.

134
135
136
137
No vice is so bad as advice.
138

139
140
Seeking an acquisition from the start is more than just bad advice for an entrepreneur. For the entrepreneur it leads to short term tactical decisions rather than company-building decisions and in my view often reduces the probability of success.
141
It is very kind of you to consider the possibility of my working in Pasadena, an idea which certainly is attractive, especially since it would hold out the prospect of your cooperation or advice.
142
The advice would be the same for any kind of fiction. Keep writing, and keep sending things out, not to friends and relatives, but to people who have the power to buy. A lot of additional, useful tips could be added, but this is fundamental.
143
144
If you look at my Instagram, girls are just beating down my door for tips or a job or mentorship. I can’t hire every single one of them. My story is one thing that gives them hope. It’s an unconventional story with anecdotes, commonsense advice and a big dose of permission to figure things out for yourself.
145
The night before my mastectomy, I had done my best to keep my mind off of the impending procedure.

146
147
I’d never be where I am if more successful writers hadn’t taken an interest in me and done me a good turn – be it chiming in with constructive criticism or giving me sound advice about my career plan.

149
Be careful about the advice you give, especially to your children.
150
151
152
People think that women don’t negotiate because they’re not good negotiators, but that’s not it. Women don’t negotiate because it doesn’t work as well for them.

153
154
155
156

168
169
170
171

172
173
I seek out a lot of advice from other CEOs.
174
I never know how to give advice to a writer because there’s so much you could say, and it’s hard to translate your own experience. But of course, I always try. The main thing that I usually end up saying is to read a lot. To read a great deal and to learn from that.
175
At a particularly dicey moment in my own love life when I was interviewing Rupert Murdoch a number of years ago, I tried to get some advice from him about, well, about anything a man with three wives, the latest the age of his children, might offer.
176
177
I always want the audience to identify with my character in some way. I mean, sometimes you’ll get characters that aren’t very identifiable. Sometimes you can’t relate to your character at all. I think it’s important to keep the audience interested. But the best advice that I’ve gotten is to live in the moment.
178
My biggest advice for girls – and this is something that I wish I could have known when I was younger – is to have thick skin. It’s something that you definitely develop when you get older, but when I first started, I was so obsessed with pleasing everybody. I wanted everybody to like me and to like my songs.

Sure, I could give advice; I could, say, travel the world, listen to music. But all I can really say is do something you want to do and do it well. And if you want to be a choreographer, then you have to make dances.
187
188
I don’t like to give advice. I like to give people information because everyone’s life is different, and everyone’s journey is different.
189
190

191
192

I’m always amused when the ‘New York Times‘ writes editorials trying to be helpful to Republicans and say, ‘This is the way Republicans can save themselves.’ Look, the ‘New York Times’ disagrees with us. They’re entitled to disagree with us, but it’s not like we should take their advice.
194
195

202

204
205
It’s a question of why they come for your advice. Whatever I tell you, it doesn’t matter, it is completely irrelevant in a way. I know so many actors who were discouraged and put that aside. You will get half-baked opinions.
206
I’m still startled when people ask me for writing advice.
207
Listen to advice from people who have been there and done that. It is so hard to believe that when you are young, but parents, mentors, teachers, they can all be so valuable when it comes to advice.

211
Muhammad Ali was a god, an idol and an icon. He was boxing. Any kid that had the opportunity to talk to Ali, to get advice from Muhammad Ali, was privileged. He’s always given me time to ask questions, although I was so in awe that I didn’t ask questions.
212
213
The best advice I can give you about falling is to never land.
214
215

216
217
Time and again, a student will send me an urgent appeal to hear her, saying she is poor and wants my advice as to whether it is worthwhile to continue her studies.

218
The best entrepreneurs know when to ignore sage advice.

221

222

236
237
238

239

240
241
When I was 16 years old, my brother Frank said, ‘You’d better become a catcher, because you’re too big and fat to do anything else.’ Well, I took his advice. It was a quick way to get to the big leagues, and I’ve never regretted it.
242
I don’t want the 35-year-olds in my audience to think of me as as ‘pops‘ giving the kind of advice that only 65-year-olds can understand.
243
244
I think the advice, regardless of gender, is always be open to conversations with people who do things differently than you do. If you’re starting to work in tech, talk to the artists, talk to the lawyers, talk to the people who are interested in other things.
245
Liberals need to take the advice they routinely give to conservatives: that there are consequences to their divisive rhetoric, and that in their attempts to score political points, they are also inciting violence.
246
We all admire the wisdom of people who come to us for advice.
247
My advice on getting a raise is what everybody’s advice is: to become a confident negotiator; but that is so hard. My admiration for women who are good at that is unbridled. Women in general have a harder time talking about money with their bosses.
248
249
250
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren’t enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calmly and carefully we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.
251
If any of us caught a fever during pregnancy, we would seek advice and support from a doctor. Getting help with our mental health is no different – our children need us to look after ourselves and get the support we need.
252
It is indeed difficult to make a living as a writer, and my advice to anyone contemplating a literary career is to have some other trade.
253
254
255
256
However, I think, first of all, that what’s happening in Sierra Leone is going to have the great influence on those governments who will be asked to provide forces to the Congo. Second, of course, the Security Council has no professional military advice organized in any way.
257
258
I considered Nat King Cole to be a friend and, in many ways, a mentor. He always had words of profound advice.
259

260
My biggest advice for high school girls is to not take yourself so seriously.

263
264
265
266
267
Rather than use the term ‘profiling,’ the profilers prefer to say they engage in criminal investigative analysis. That is because, besides developing profiles, the analysts offer a range of other advice, including personality assessments and interview techniques tailored to a particular offender.
268
269
The advice I would give to girls from Eastern backgrounds who are interested in the arts is that it is always beneficial to get your academic studies out of the way before going into the competitive world of the arts.
270

271
It is easy when we are in prosperity to give advice to the afflicted.
272
My advice to young people wanting to make music and to be in this industry is to really spend your time making music. Make so much music you have no friends. Make music. Figure out what it is you love, and… because if you’re making cool art, then everything else will fall into line.
273
The best career advice I’ve gotten is to stay focused, keep moving forward.
274
Some useful advice for all of my Asian-American brothers and sisters – never go paint-balling with a Vietnam veteran.

276
We are experiencing such large support for the Olympic relay that our advice is to stay in your neighbourhood, stay in your borough and wait for it to come near you.
277

278
279
280
As much as my parents are part of Hollywood, I have no recollection of them giving me advice about it.
281
My advice for upcoming actors is to never give up. If it’s in you, keep following your dream no matter what. Perseverence is the key.

283
Some of the best advice I was ever given was: ‘Don’t believe your own hype.’
284
The best anti-aging advice I’ve ever received? Drink a lot of water and have a plant-based diet. I also do mindful meditation with my daughter every day. It takes ten minutes. I think reducing stress plays a big part in anti-aging.
285
I don’t give advice. 90% of the time nobody takes it anyway. I will give encouragement and if asked a question as to how, or why I did certain things and if I think this will help whomever is asking the question I will do this.
286
I am relatively sure, from conversations that I had with former president Bill Clinton, that George Bush seldom called upon him for advice.

288
Every time we give a musician the advice to give away the music and sell the T-shirt, we’re saying, ‘Don’t make your living in this more elevated way. Instead, reverse this social progress, and choose a more physical way to make a living.’ We’re sending them to peasanthood, very much like the Maoists have.
289
290
291
I follow my own advice: eat less, move more, eat lots of fruits, vegetables, and grains, and don’t eat too much junk food. It leaves plenty of flexibility for eating an occasional junk food.
292
293
It’s all about learning your craft and honing it in and really paying attention to people who are doing it and what their advice is. It’s like anything: it takes years and years and years. A lot of it comes down to work ethic.
294
When you buy into the cultural idea of what’s acceptable and unacceptable, you reinforce negative stereotypes and prejudices. That wouldn’t work for me. I don’t love to give advice to anyone, because we all have to make our own choices, but I’d want to live my life in truth.
295
I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.
296

303
Be open and honest, but perceptive to your boss’s situation. That’s my advice to graduates worried about working with a new boss.
304
305
306

307
I don’t give advice. I can’t tell anybody what to do. Instead I say this is what we know about this problem at this time. And here are the consequences of these actions.
308
309
310
I would never give advice, because I would feel very presumptuous.
311

315
316
My dad said to me, ‘Work hard and be patient.’ It was the best advice he ever gave me. You have to put the hours in.
317
The people sensible enough to give good advice are usually sensible enough to give none.
318

322
I counseled many returning missionaries. I interviewed 1,700 missionaries all over the world. My advice to them is that you should study and prepare for your life’s work in a field that you enjoy.
323
324
Whatever is about you that is translated into your art, that’s gonna keep you completly original and fresh and I just think that, that’s just the best advice I can give, to an artist creatively.
325
The best advice I’ve received is to be yourself. The best artists do that.
326
It can’t hurt to go to the people you love, whose blood type courses through your veins and whose DNA, from a certain angle, contains many of the same markings as yours. You don’t have to take their advice, but let them share their version of solutions to life’s difficulties. Good or bad – it could be interesting.
327
When I was a prosecutor in San Francisco I would get advice on trying cases from public defenders and defense attorneys.
328

329
330
As you get older, you grow and mature, and that should never stop. As soon as you stop growing, you’re done living. I’ll always be growing, forever learning, forever taking in advice from people I deeply respect.
331
332
Interestingly, young people don’t come to you for advice. Especially the ones who are related to you.
333
334
335

336
Ms. Oprah Winfrey gave me some advice to just always stay in the moment, and don’t waste energy on negative things, and put your energy into positive things in your life. I just try to remember that every day and keep on going.
337
338
339
When I was really little, I wanted to be a wrestler so I could be like the girls I looked up to. My brother then told me that ‘You don’t want to be like your idols; you want to grow up and be better than them.’ To this day, that’s the best piece of advice I’ve ever gotten.
340
No one wants advice – only corroboration.
341
342
I try not to give advice unless people ask me.
343
344
345
Leading by example is the most powerful advice you can give to anybody.
346
Advice may not be good advice 10 or 15 years from now. Someone could tell you something years ago and it might not work now. The world is constantly changing. One word could mean something different today. Today you can’t give advice to anyone.
347
People always say, ‘Write what you know’, but I’ve always found that to be terrible advice. It’s quite limiting, what you know.
348
349
I’ve been very, very lucky in my career, in my life – from day one. When aspiring directors say, ‘What’s your advice?’ first I say, ‘Be born the son of a famous director. It’s invaluable.’
350
Tranquilizers work only if you follow the advice on the bottle – keep away from children.
351
We are committed to a continuous engagement with our people to explain government policies, receive advice and criticism.
352
353
One gets the impression that Elvis Presley does what his business advisors think will be most profitable. My advice to them: Put Elvis Presley in the studio with a bunch of good, contemporary rockers, lock the studio up, and tell him he can’t come out until he’s done made an album that rocks from beginning to end.
354
355
A lot of girls ask for advice on how to get into acting, and I’m kind of the worst person to ask, because it just kind of fell in my lap… I was just in the right place at the right time.
356
357
358
When we are well, we all have good advice for those who are ill.
359
Once, I was going to a film event, and someone told me not to wear high heels to it. They said that it might intimidate the men. For some reason, I was ready to take their cue, but about an hour later, something in my head started ringing, and I thought, ‘That is the worst advice anybody’s ever given me.’
360
I think it’s important to have professional lessons or advice.
361
Mind you, physical training doesn’t necessarily mean going to an expert for advice. One doesn’t have to make a mountain out of a molehill. Get out in the fresh air and walk briskly – and don’t forget to wear a smile while you’re at it. Don’t over-do. Take it easy at first and build on your effort day by day.
362
The advice I am giving always to all my students is above all to study the music profoundly… music is like the ocean, and the instruments are little or bigger islands, very beautiful for the flowers and trees.
363
I don’t even know how to speak up for myself, because I don’t really have a father who would give me the confidence or advice.
364
I’m certainly the last person to give advice on, well, anything.
365
My advice to the average investor in 1988 is to be patient and think long-term. It will take 18 months for confidence to get better and, in the meantime, this is absolutely no place for short-term money.
366
As far as we were concerned, we were operators, we were administrators. I don’t ever recall going to Dean Acheson and asking for any counsel or advice on administration, but I had the greatest respect for him, as I have today.
367
Advice is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always like it the least.
368
In golf, advice is not a big thing. If you don’t have the ability, you won’t get anywhere no matter how much advice you get. The only thing people can suggest that matters is, be a good person and treat people respectfully. But advice on your game doesn’t mean much to me.
369
370
371
My style advice to other girls is to be experimental but always have a ‘home base‘ and stick with your comfort style.
372
That is where the irony of the film comes off, in terms of the language it employs – where he tries desperately to be a ‘TV Dad,’ to give advice and it’s so pat it becomes ridiculous.
373
Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it.
374
375
376
377
I have been trying to point out that in our lives chance may have an astonishing influence and, if I may offer advice to the young laboratory worker, it would be this – never to neglect an extraordinary appearance or happening.
378
My mum’s advice is never to whine to my friends, so they never see the other side of me. I save all my problems for my mother.
379
The advice that is wanted is commonly not welcome and that which is not wanted, evidently an effrontery.
380
My advice to young entrepreneurs is not to accept defeat in the face of odds, and challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction.
381
382
The only advice I can give to aspiring writers is to write the book that you would want to read, and hope other people agree.
383
384
385
We can never learn too much of His will towards us, too much of His messages and His advice. The Bible is His word and its study gives at once the foundation for our faith and an inspiration to battle onward in the fight against the tempter.
386
If I wanted a circus ringmaster, I’d hire Trump. If I wanted advice on brain surgery or hospital management, I’d turn to Carson. Fiorina would make an articulate television pundit. But for president?
387
The best advice I ever got came from my mother, Estee Lauder: She believed that if you had something good to say, you should put it in writing. But if you had something bad to say, you should tell the person to his or her face.
388
389
I don’t turn to greeting cards for wisdom and advice, but they are a fine reflection of the general drift of the culture.
390
391
My dad is such a good man. You know how when you are a child you think your dad is invincible? Well, I still think that – he is so wise and everything I do I ask my dad’s advice about first.
392
He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both; but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.
393
I still take advice from my mum on what clothes look good on me. I used to listen to her a lot more, but I’ve started to choose my own things from time to time.
394
When we ask for advice, we are usually looking for an accomplice.
395
Listen to advice, but follow your heart.
396
397
398
399
Meet some people who care about poetry the way you do. You’ll have that readership. Keep going until you know you’re doing work that’s worthy. And then see what happens. That’s my advice.
400
401
402
403
Never advise anyone to go to war or to get married. Write down the advice of him who loves you, though you like it not at present. He that has no children brings them up well.
404
405
I can remember how rude I could be at times to journalists and people phoning up for advice.
406
Small businesses, you can give them capital, but what they often need as much is mentoring, advice and help with their business plan.
407
On the day my daughter was born, I started writing a book for her. The plan was that, over the course of her life, I’d fill it with advice on how to be a strong woman. But along the way, I got caught up in the stories of Amelia Earhart, Sally Ride, and so many others. So how do you pick the best heroes for your kids?
408
409
When I was a child, next to my own mother, no woman that ever lived took as much interest in me, gave me as much motherly advice or seemed to love me more than did Sister Snow. I loved her with all my heart, and loved her hymn, ‘O My Father.’
410
411
412
413
My dad told me something long before I was in politics, and when your dad gives you advice every single day, eventually one or two of the things stick in your mind. And he said, don’t believe what people say, believe what they do.
414
Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself.
415
It’s always fun when people ask you for advice.
416
My advice is, if you are going to go on ‘X Factor,’ you have to know who you are as an artist.
417
418
My advice for any entrepreneur or innovator is to get into the food industry in some form so you have a front-row seat to what’s going on.
419
The best money advice ever given me was from my father. When I was a little girl, he told me, ‘Don’t spend anything unless you have to.’
420
421
Write the kind of story you would like to read. People will give you all sorts of advice about writing, but if you are not writing something you like, no one else will like it either.
422
Whatever advice you give, be short.
423
We must advertise to U.S. business that we are there, that our attitude has changed, and that we care. When we are asked to help, we have to perform and provide the right advice.
424
Advice to persons about to marry – don’t.
425
In some ways, I’ve been left with this great ‘idolic’ image of my father, but there’s a sense of absence, too. You miss his advice and, also, his getting to know the person I have become.
426
427
428
My characters surprise me constantly. My characters are like my friends – I can give them advice, but they don’t have to take it. If your characters are real, then they surprise you, just like real people.
429
430
The best advice I try to give a young quarterback is, you need to know what you’re doing. You need to know what you’re doing, because if you know where to go with the football, you can get rid of it and throw it and you won’t get hit.
431
In my son’s kindergarten, they’re telling us how to get him into Stanford. By their advice, I’m doing everything wrong, because I’m trying to make him happy rather than putting him through as many piano lessons as possible.
432
My advice is don’t keep asking yourself if you can do something. Just get out there and do it. You can really surprise yourself.
433
434
I cannot give any scientist of any age better advice than this: the intensity of a conviction that a hypothesis is true has no bearing over whether it is true or not.
435
What’s funny is that all the artists I’ve collaborated with, I get this feeling that they want me to win. They’re always asking my opinion, always giving me advice.
436
437
President Obama‘s decision to bypass the constitutional advice and consent of the Senate is not an isolated incident.
438
I will say this: one of the things that is a pain when you’re expecting children is how much advice unsolicited people give you when you’re not asking for it.
439
440
If I had to give one piece of advice to a budding entrepreneur, I would say: ‘Aim big.’
441
The only advice I would give Christians entering the world of arts: give yourself a period of time, maybe three or four years. If you haven’t made it in your chosen art form, dump it.
442
Really good customer service will deliver sales. You are training salesmen to give the best possible advice and then to achieve the sale. People actually like you to ask for a sale because it shows you value their business.
443
I think valuing what your body can do over how your body looks is the No. 1 advice I would give to young women about how to have healthy body image. It’s not, ‘Do these pants fit?’ It’s ‘Can I do a split?’
444
445
446
447
448
449
450
You don’t know what you need when you’re a young writer. You can get small slivers of critical input, advice, comments, but if you’re deep in the perplexity of your own process, as you should be, sorting it out in your own way, nothing is going to guide you more than small gestures of encouragement.
451
452
My other advice is to start writing songs and singing right away.
453
454
Rahul Gandhi himself doesn’t have any vision or the political acumen to be able to differentiate between sycophancy and sincere advice.
455
456
Since women ask me about male motives all the time, I can offer a bit of advice. If you feel like you’re going to get hurt then you shouldn’t be there in the first place. That’s the way I look at relationships.
457
458
459
460
All of us, at certain moments of our lives, need to take advice and to receive help from other people.
461
My advice for young people is to just be yourself. There’s no pressure. Do what you want to do. And if you want to do something, then go after it and make it happen.
462
463
The one thing people are the most liberal with, is their advice.
464
465
I definitely will reach out to Cuban in the near future for advice going forward. Now that I’ll be on the business side of things – and he’s had a lot of success with that – that would be a guy to go to.
466
467
I’ve been homeschooling for eight years and have always received the best advice and encouragement from other homeschoolers, rather than a book or lecture.
468
469
Be yourself is about the worst advice you can give to some people.
470
I was told to avoid the business all together because of the rejection. People would say to me, ‘Don’t you want to have a normal job and a normal family?’ I guess that would be good advice for some people, but I wanted to act.
471
My dad told me when I was very young, that I should not get married before 30. His only advice to me was to live my life.
472
Any time Chris Nolan wants to call me for advice, he can.
473
One bit of advice I can give people is to remember that anything worthwhile takes a long time.
474
The idea of ‘advice,’ in terms of telling people advice or asking people for advice, has become not comprehensible to me, to a certain degree, due to feeling, like, for something to be accurately defined as ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ I would want to know the context, goal, perspective for it.
475
Saul Bellow never took my advice when he was my friend.
476
I think Joan‘s advice would be: always know more than anyone else, always be discreet as possible. And never cry at work.
477
Well, I don’t give it out very often, but I reject the notion that you have to be a practitioner to give good advice.
478
A girl’s got to be fun. It’s the one bit of advice I always give to friends of mine who are thinking of getting married.
479
480
I am excited to join the Workday Board at an exciting time in the company’s growth and look forward to leveraging my past experience as a technologist and entrepreneur to provide advice as they continue to look at new areas of growth.
481
My clerkship with Justice Douglas was tremendously important. He told me, Christopher, get out into the stream of history and see what happens. I’ve tried to follow that advice.
482
483
484
I think once I fail enough as a dad, I’ll be looking for help wherever I can get it. I just need enough time to screw things up and then I’ll start looking to TV dads for advice.
485
I’d like to believe that achieving a leadership position is all about competency, capability and ambition, so I try not to distinguish between the sexes when it comes to giving career advice.

There are a lot of people who will come to me for advice or whatever.
488
I ask for a lot of advice from different fathers – all kinds of dads.
489
My advice to composers is, ‘Try to reach 90, and everyone will love you.’
490
491
I don’t believe in that term ‘self-made‘ – not to be offensive, but I believe everything happens for a reason, every single person you meet. Even if it’s one single person giving you advice, that person helped you get to where you’re at today.
492
Marriage is something that needs to be worked on every day. I don’t know if I’m the one to give marital advice since I’ve only been married for a little over a year, but marriage is certainly easier if you are open, trusting and loving.
493
And that’s another piece of advice I’ll give junior writers; when you get to the point where they take you to lunch, let the editor suggest where to go.
494
My so-called bad dress-sense phase happened when I was confused – I think I was taking advice all too often, without listening to my inner voice. Add to the fact that I was a little overweight; so every wrong ‘outfit‘ got compounded all that much.
495
I don’t even know how to speak up for myself, because I don’t really have a father who would give me the confidence or advice. And if you’re always the new kid, you never get a chance to adapt, so your confidence is just zilch.
496
Real Texans don’t want any woman to die of cancer because she can’t get decent health care or medical advice. Real Texans don’t want any woman to lose control of her life because she can’t get birth control.
497
The advice that I was always given when asking for advice about acting was that if I could imagine myself doing anything else, anything else at all, then go do that.
498
Once I was in a cafe in Portland and the woman at the next table and I began chatting and in the course of our conversation she strongly recommend I visit this web site called ‘The Rumpus’ so I could read this advice column called ‘Dear Sugar.’ It was so painful not to tell her that in fact I was Sugar, but I didn’t.
499
500
Whatever you do, don’t take shortcuts. It’s great advice to take and live by.
501
The best advice I was probably given and the best advice I could give someone who is trying to get into the comedy field is to take advantage of every opportunity you have to work to hone your skills.
502
503
504
505
Advice? Look at your pay statements.
506
507
The best advice comes from people who don’t give advice.
508
At least for the people who send me mail about a new language that they’re designing, the general advice is: do it to learn about how to write a compiler.
509
I was brought up in a very religious household and did a lot of praying throughout a big part of my life and always thought of God as being not only a powerful father figure and the ruler of all time and dimension but also as a friend with whom I could chat and ask questions to and get advice from.
510
If I could only give three words of advice, they would be, ‘Tell the truth.’ If I got three more words, I’d add, ‘All the time.’
511
512
Don’t take too much advice.
513
You need someone in your life to give you advice without yelling at you.
514
I would hate to think my songs were giving advice to people.
515
516
517
I don’t use ‘always do this,’ ‘never say that’ and I never give advice because I’m not the end-all, be-all authority.
518
My mom is just so good with fashion! She always tells me what looks good, what doesn’t look good, and she gives me great advice.
519
520
I haven’t gone out of my way to seek advice from people I don’t know.
521
I always had really good teachers, that were always about more than what was in the books. Those little advice and tips can set you down the right path in your life.
522
523
When a man spends his time giving his wife criticism and advice instead of compliments, he forgets that it was not his good judgment, but his charming manners, that won her heart.
524
My advice would be to write what is most personal and specific to your experience or your life. And your voice will emerge and because of its specificity, it will be universal.
525
Never forget, the real secret of giving advice is this: Once you’ve given it, don’t concern yourself with whether it is followed or not, and refrain from saying ‘I told you so.’
526
527
Meyer and I have a bit in common because we’re both left-handed. I think it’s great that he seeks out that advice because he’s not too cool or too uncomfortable to ask for it.
528
529
The only really good piece of advice I have for my students is, ‘Write something you’d never show your mother or father.’ And you know what they say? ‘I could never do that!’
530
I’ve never believed in dieting, but there are people out there who have problems. My advice would be don’t ever stop yourself to a point where you start craving something, because you end up bingeing. I think the key word is moderation.
531
532
When you’re a young talent, and you want to launch your brand, you always have tons of questions: Where should I produce? Should I launch a second line? Should I do shoes, accessories? If you have someone who can coach you and give you advice and help you find the right supplier, it’s a big help.
533
534
If you are going to do something, you have to do it for yourself, and that’s what I try to do. I try to be authentic and try to be original, so that’s what I try to be. A lot of people try to build big brands but have received bad advice, and they don’t try to be authentic and real with themselves.
