    The problem is that successful people can also give bad advice.

    A common one is the Boomer advice of walking into a place, asking to see a manager, and talking with them about getting a job. That strategy might have worked in the 80’s, but it doesn’t work today.

      Now that you mentioned it, my mom gives good advise to other people and I was thinking “why don’t you give the same to us?” I kinda realise maybe it’s easier to provide good advise to others as an independent observer, if you don’t have as much personal and emotional attachment to the person.
