โฒ 178 โผ What small piece of advice you would like to give that isn't heard enough ? (lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Vcio@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml 187 comments fedilink hide all child comments Computer related: Don't be your family computer savy guy, you just found yourself a bunch payless jobs... Long desks are cool and all, but the amount the space they occupy is not worth it. Block work related phone calls at weekends, being disturbed at your leisure for things that could be resolved on Mondays will sour your day. Buying stuff: There is expensive because of brand and expensive because of material quality, do your research. Buck buying is underrated, save yourself a few bucks, pile that toilet paper until the ceiling is you must. Second hand/broken often means never cleaned, lubricated or with easy fixable problem.

TLDL: The phrase is about realizing wealth and life isnt permanent, eventually it will be gone. Not caring about money when poor leads to a shitty life, but not caring about money because you're famous and driving a Ferrari is a hell of a lot better. The phrase makes poor people docile, you can only not care about material wealth when you have enough that you don't need to worry about it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] paradrenasite@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago This, my friend, is an overly cynical take. You can apply it to your life in any way that serves you. You can imagine it as a good reminder to live life to the fullest, to not let your ego run away from reality, or to give perspective on all the little things we worry about when we consider how many weeks we have left on this planet. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks [B] 2 points 2 years ago Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://www.piped.video/watch?v=Y3r0JIXVabk Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
