After being given an assignment for my writing group on the subject of advice I thought about it and all that came to my mind was that I wished that I had never given any advice to anyone whether I was asked for it or not.  I can not remember a single time when it turned out well.  My perspective on things didn’t usually match with the person I was talking with. Usually they were too polite to say so, fortunately.  Hopefully they didn’t even try to follow the advice.  I now have just one set piece of advice and it will serve me well if I can only remember it for myself.  Here it is, the Golden Rule. 

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
