Useful Advice

[Tank]

My father, a clinical Psychologist of many years, once elucidated his approach to therapy by saying:

"You must be willing, in each case, to approach the person in treatment as the exception, rather than the rule."

I'm willing to bet the application of his advice is wider than the narrow limits circumscribed by his profession...

I don't think it is, but it should be. This axiom should apply to every child, always; particularly in school.

I should have said the potential application of his advice...not the actual degree to which it is currently implemented.  I see it as proscriptive, rather than descriptive.  Anyway, I agree with you, particularly with regard to children in school.

Give a person a reputation to live up to, it is very motivating for them (me).
I learnt this from a wise and experienced Project Manager.

I have a somewhat different angle: Give people someone else to fail. Preferably, someone that matters.

Be patient with the people giving you advice and choose wisely the advice you'll follow.

I live by this ^ Haven't gotten really good unsolicited advice in years when it comes to some problems IRL.

Ask and ye shall receive

This is how I do it:


 
1)  Click the handy-dandy hyperlink button from your forum toolbar thingy.

 
 
2)  Type the message that you would like visible between the url tags


 
3)  In the first url tag, insert a "=" directly behind the letters "url". Do not add a space.


 
4)  Paste the web-address that you would like to link to directly after the "=" in the first tag. Make sure there isn't a space between the "=" and the beginning of the address.


 
5)  Hit preview to make sure you didn't shag it up somewhere along the line.

6)  Post

My Grandmother once admonished "Don't be such a bastard". (*picture Judy Dench as 'M'*)
She was very wise, though I still struggle with it.

Never invest in a business you do not fully understand.
Advice which if I had heeded, would have saved me more than a modicum of money and grief.
