    Polite: “Thanks.”

    Less polite: “Thank you for your feedback.”

    My fave: “UNSUBSCRIBE”

      All work best when voiced audibly.

    Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.

      That’s certainly an advisable way to look at it.

    I generally listen and compare it to what I do.

    If it’s useless, I silently feel smug and superior. If there’s something good, then I try to take it onboard.

    First you should ask yourself why you would not want advice.

    Which results in: a) accept and implement advice OR b) prove the advice wrong
