"Recently, a BuzzFeed article about the worst "life traps" one can easily fall into got a pretty great response. The discussion spurred members of the BuzzFeed Community to share some of the best, most niche pieces of life advice they've received, and honestly, reading through them was so thought-provoking that I just had to share! So, here are some pieces of sage wisdom, from home advice, to work advice, to just plain life advice:"
"I worked with a married couple who came into the office on Christmas Day after they opened their presents to write computer code. I worked with another woman who took a long lunch on Thanksgiving. That's bullshit. At the same time that was happening, another good friend suddenly dropped dead at his desk at age 32. You think you have all the time in the world."
Decisions should not rely solely on family obligation; making major choices requires personal certainty rather than deference to familial pressure. Homeownership demands budgeting for mortgage plus maintenance, taxes, insurance, and utilities to truly afford a house. Value the present because future time is not guaranteed; prioritize life and avoid sacrificing every holiday or moment for work. Punctuality and consistently performing job duties reduce problems at work. Respect elders' advice as their experience often mirrors current challenges. Request annual raises and reviews to clarify performance expectations and advancement paths. Seek joy in daily activities to sustain long-term happiness.
