This is wonderful advice, and it touches on the issue spot on. Thank you very much

Noted, thank you :)

I came here for advice and opinions, not to be scolded. You should really practice the way you give “advice”. I’m sure you’re aware it’s a different concept than giving orders.

Good advice, thanks.

Very nicely put, thank you

Haha. Busted.

Edit: I guess it is too philosophical for early morning talk
