Quotes to ponder:

"This advice is applicable to me, the author/blogger/columnist. If you are exactly like me in every way, this will probably work pretty well for you. Otherwise, results will vary."

"Definitive advice is often faulty from the outset. Not because the people divvying it out are scam-artists, not because the people receiving the advice are no-talent dreamers, but because the conversation the two are having isn’t the one they should be having."

"The world is full of advice, and much of it is useful in the right hands, but also essentially worthless to most people."
