I was listening to a radio program where the host was having people call in with the best advice they had received. Years and years ago, my husband had a colleague who told him this when he was about to do something foolish beyond his level expertise, "
There are no jobs in those canyons." He meant it literally about the geography. My husband worked outdoors in a treacherous area. If you injure yourself by going down that canyon, you won't have a job.
However, I think it applies to a lot of things just not physical activities. The quote applies to risk. Do I say something about someone's job performance if that is just going to make my life harder? Do I physically push myself at my job if it is destroying my body? What is a good risk? Is this a wrong, I meant to right? Just something I am ruminating on.
What is the best advice you ever received? Leave me a note in the comments
