1 Answer

Answer :

I rejected the advice at first, and it almost bit me on the ass. I accepted it eventually, but it was close. You know what I’m referring to. I think almost all the time I’ve got great advice and a lot of different viewpoints and it really helps me clarify my thinking. Sometimes an opposite viewpoint opens up my mind. That’s been one of the best things I’ve found on fluther. (And some really super jellies.)
