I acknowledge the fact that the title of this post blaringly declares me to be a nerd, but if you caught the reference, you can't talk. You nerd.
I've decided to undertake a bit of a project on this blog o' mine. I'm beginning a mini-series of posts that will each be derived from some scrap of wisdom I've gleaned along the road that is my life. Here's the lead-in/first post:

WISE WORDS IN A SEA OF STUPIDITY pt 1
"Listen to good advice - regardless of the source" - anon.
I don't agree with everyone's points of view. That much should be obvious to anyone who has read my older posts. There is however, this principle I try to live by: If someone - ANYONE gives you a piece of sound advice, take it. It is the height of foolishness and arrogance to ignore a sign that says, "Hey, Mack, there's a cliff ahead. You might want to stop before you go careening to your death."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This one's shorter than I plan for the rest to be, but it more or less sets the stage for the other tidbits I'll have for you. Feel free to comment with your favorite quotes/nuggets of shining brilliance.

But the question is - how can you tell it's SOUND advice...it may not be, so if you listen you mess yourself up...
I'm just being contrary ya know...
That's where discernment comes in. :)
There's an astounding lack of logical thought in today's western culture, so discernment may be even more rare that "common sense" these days.
I'm not completely jaded; just jaded enough to see clearly. (In other words: "I'm not a cynic; I'm a realist.") *sigh* credo of cynics all over the world. Oh well.
