We all love to give advice. I am not sure about your last point, as to why? I think we all know that achievement takes hard work, it is enticing to think that, SOMEWHERE, there is an easy way to riches and fame. Alas, there is not.

Someone said that success was 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, if I've got the quote right. Do you think it's because we don't want anyone to feel too disheartened that we omit to say that they're going to have to work their arses off? Or do people truly believe that life is just one big quick fix, a "just like that" as Tommy Cooper used to say? So true.

Are they exploiting those that have been led to believe that they need to fix themselves or the societal norm comprised of those that believe it is "all about them"? A wise man once told me "Only give advice when asked". Where have we gone off course? Love your posts! Could it be that all these “advice givers” are trying to make a buck?

Reading this, surfing that, digesting something else, going aha, saying "I agree" and adding something more (we're all so wise and just must offer our tidbits of gold - me included :) Sometimes it's simply a way of avoiding the manual labor of the mind and/or body. As such, I'm turning off Twitter, and this is my last 'blog'wandering' for at least another 2 hours (there, I published my promise!).
