I got a phone call this morning asking my opinion about the something.
Instead, I shared some experiences on the subject and then went on give thoughts, errrrr...opinions.
When considering someone's advice, be sure you understand the difference between experience and opinions and whether you are getting what you believe you are getting. We all have opinions but are they really worth much? Not really. Most are just thoughts birthed from someone's idea of "if I were in control...." or "if they asked me..."
Sam Elliot's character in an old Louis L'Amour movie told this hot-shot young gunman, who was trying to draw out an older gunman, "son, do you see those wrinkles on his face? Those are miles and miles of hard work and more killings than he cares to remember. Do you really want to take on that experience when all you really have is some far-fetched opinion of how good you really are? Are you willing to bet your life on that opinion?"
Well, Tyrell Sacket (Sam's character) said it much more elequently!, but it was something like that.
Give me someone that has been down the path and stumbled, or fallen, gotten back up and ran the good race and won, or lost. Those experiences are worth something.
Opions are ok I guess, but be sure you know what you are getting.
Evaluate and correct your information.
To that end.....
