It's fun to ask people what their "secret of success" is. Whither that be career-oriented, spiritual, or matrimonial.
So when I heard about the book that Katie Couric put together, "The Best Advice I Ever Got - Lessons from Extraordinary Lives," I didn't hesitate.
(7.5 /10, for those that know that I like to score almost anything and everything.)
As one might expect, the bestest advice was all over the map:
- Be bold.
- There is no substitute for hard work.
- The best learning lesson I can give you on accomplishment is to listen.
- There is no success without failure. Period. And usually a lot of it.
- One person with passion is better than forty people merely interested.
- Sadness is the soul recognizing change.
I like the last one, but my favorite . . . (by far!):
- Don’t give advice.
Not sure why. It just is.
