The piece of advice that stuck with me came from my old boss, David, actually. It was about three years ago, and I was going through a really rough patch at work. We'd just lost a big client, and I was blaming myself completely — working late every night, beating myself up over every small mistake.

David pulled me aside after a meeting and said something I've never forgotten. He said, don't take work home with you emotionally. You can take problems home, but leave the blame at the office. At the time, I didn't really get it. I thought he was telling me to stop caring.

But over the next few months, I started to understand what he meant. There's a difference between being responsible and being consumed. You can do your absolute best at work, but when you close your laptop at the end of the day, the guilt has no place at the dinner table or with your kid. I started forcing myself to switch off — no work emails after nine, no checking Slack on weekends.

That advice changed me. I used to wear my stress like a badge of honour. Now I see it as a sign that I'm not managing things well. I still care deeply about my work, but I don't let it ruin my evenings anymore. It's easily the best career advice anyone has ever given me.

💬 Part 3 延伸讨论

Q1: Do people prefer advice from family or from experts?

It depends on the topic. For personal stuff, family usually knows you better. For technical or financial decisions, people trust experts more. The best advice is usually specific to your situation, which is why a friend's anecdote is often more useful than a textbook answer.

Q2: Should young people take all advice seriously?

No. Advice is often just the other person's fears projected onto you. Some people tell you not to take risks because they never took any themselves. Young people should listen, filter, and then decide what fits their own personality. Blindly following advice is as bad as ignoring all of it.
