#Microblog Monday 542: Bad Advice
Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.
*******
There are so many lists of “good” advice out there, but not enough lists of bad advice. This list aims to correct that.
This one especially made me laugh: “Assume a new dopamine hit is a good indication of long-term joy.”
What was your favourite one (or piece of bad advice)?

Are you also doing #MicroblogMondays? Add your link below. The list will be open until Tuesday morning. Link to the post itself, not your blog URL. (Don’t know what that means? Please read the three rules on this post to understand the difference between a permalink to a post and a blog’s main URL.) Only personal blogs can be added to the list. I will remove any posts connected to businesses or sponsored posts.

I love that list! So many gems but my favorite is: Assume that all your success is due to hard work and all your failure is due to bad luck.
Oooh, I love this one:
Value the appearance of looking busy. (Jeez I hate the “cult of busyness.”)
Also the one Beth picked, and:
“Assume learning is complete upon your last day of school.” That one for me goes with going into trainings by saying, “we already do all this” and not looking for ways to improve.
Oh! And the highlight reel/incomplete picture of other people’s lives. Great list!
I love that list. I loved the ones the previous commenters chose. I know several people who have taken some of this wrong advice, including this one, “Associate net worth with self-worth (for you and others).”
This one too – “Allow your expectations to grow faster than your income.” I will admit that I have also been guilty of this at time to time over the years, indulging in occasional extravagances! (But always within reason.) Mind you, right now I am very glad I did do that.
