all day listening to people tell you how to do

00:19

things your parents your teachers your boss everybody's a critic

so it's not fun to be told you're wrong or

00:30

that something you've done and so great But most the

00:33

time people aren't criticizing you just hurt your feelings unless

your family members teacher boss they're trying to help you

00:43

have to make the change if you don't think it'll

01:21

help others khun suggest you cut a paragraph from an

01:24

essay but only you get to the lord high executioner

01:27

and actually swing the ax If you so choose How

01:30

about a thank you would be at least nice and

01:32

nobody likes it when they're well meaning advice has taken

01:34

the wrong way and twisted into something hurtful You don't

01:37

want to be sarcastic or mean or nasty to someone

01:40

who's just trying to help you idea Well may we

01:42

suggest you invest in a punching bag Sounds like you

have some psychological stuff to work out but yeah arguing

01:48

with people who you're tryingto help is not gonna win

01:51

many friends for you or make you very popular If

02:14

for his books He probably stunk it doing his own

02:17

taxes So just remember it's not the mistakes you make

02:20

along the way It's your ability to learn from them

improve and move on And if somebody offers you something

02:26

well intentioned advice that maybe isn't so hot Yeah mom
