“Advice is good when it is specific to your situation and considers long-term consequences,” Staples shared with Bored Panda.
“It should also support your personal values, provide you with an idea you didn’t already have, and be clear exactly what you’re supposed to do with it.”

“For example, many an infuriated millennial has complained about their boomer parents advising them to ‘Show up and ask the employers if they have any jobs in person! It will leave an impression!’ But maybe that’s not the impression they’re going for. That advice applied to the parents’ situation but doesn’t apply now.”
“Advice can also be bad if it’s based on flawed information or doesn’t account for long-term risks. Exercise caution if, for example, someone seems just a little too excited about Bitcoin.” Otherwise, you might lose your savings in a pump-and-dump scheme.

“You need to know: 1) Can you trust the intentions of the person giving the advice—do they actually want to be helpful? 2) What are they claiming to know, and how do they know it? (Life experience? Citable sources?) And 3) do they understand your situation well enough to have an opinion?”
So don’t worry if some of these entries don’t apply to you!
