something that you regret.
don't let others make the same mistake
thank you for your time and wisdom.What advice can you give to someone just starting out in life?
1) Don't get into credit card debt. Credit is huge especially now. If you have debt pay it off asap. 2) If you have student loans, prioritize to pay them off, ie. sacrifice tax refunds, bonuses, etc. because if you don't the loan may still be with you for decades and when you have a mortgage, family and other bills this loan can become a major thorn on your side. 3) If you are a single woman, don't ever be desperate for a guy to marry you. There's a man somewhere that will love you and do anything for you. 4) Be a whole person before marriage, a man will never complete you, they will only complement you and be a companion in life. 5) Don't lose touch with good friends, it's easy to do when you're young and move around, but there will come a day when it's all been said and done, you'll probably be married with children and sometimes you hit a wall and really start missing old friends that you lost touch with and when you try to reconnect, it's like too much time went by and it's never the same again.What advice can you give to someone just starting out in life?
I've been around for awhile and I;ve been around some great wonderful people and unfortunately some not so good people who hurt me. I have not let what others done to me to retaliate I have not stooped to their level and I feel very good about myself for that.
Be a good person and it will come back to you.
My advice would be to be responsible, respectable %26amp; take time to smell the roses. Life goes pretty fast and you cannot turn back time, so enjoy life . good luck to you

What advice would you pass on to someone just about to start grad school?
Make sure that your values dictate how you spend your time. I know that when I started grad school, I wanted to please my professors and eventually I said ';yes'; to so many responsibilities that I got overwhelmed. This is a disservice to them and yourself because you won't be able to do your work well if you don't have as much time to spend on any one thing. So, my advice is, choose carefully about what projects and what activities you want to spend your time on. This means: don't take too many classes in one term, don't take on too much teaching/TA/RA responsibility.
I would include that you shouldn't put your life on hold for graduate school. When I started grad school my attitude was ';I'll just sacrifice these two years of my life and focus only on school and then pick things up when I finish.'; I've found that I'm much happier when I continue non-school activities that are important to me while I continue to pursue my graduate studies. If you look to your professors for advice on this, they might share the attitude that ';everyone just gives up their life and happiness for a while to be a graduate student; that's the way it should be';. But I don't agree.
Ultimately, pushing yourself too hard and giving up things that you love can lead to poor health and feeling miserable. Keeping school in its proper place and perspective is really helping me. For example, I've decided that, for the rest of my grad school career, I will only teach one class per term, even though they want me to teach three classes a year. I think it'll help me to make sure that I have time to focus on other things in addition to school.What advice would you pass on to someone just about to start grad school?

study from day one, don't leave things to pile up

What kind of advice do you have for someone who puts the effort in getting the grade, but doesn't get it?
I am super-interested in Economics and Mathematics. They both are subjects that I could study for the rest of my life. What kind of advice do you have for someone who puts in the effort, but has lower than normal scores in one of the subjects? I am doing great in Math. It's Economics I'm having trouble with. I understand the material, and I put my full effort in it, but the time and effort put into it isn't getting me the grades I feel I should have earned. So what could I do?What kind of advice do you have for someone who puts the effort in getting the grade, but doesn't get it?
Reflect as well as get a friend to comment what you have done wrong or not done. You may not have noticed it, but perhaps after many years of doing the same subject you might reflect and realise your mistake. So don't start late, start now. Sometimes a 2nd or 3rd opinion can aid you better.What kind of advice do you have for someone who puts the effort in getting the grade, but doesn't get it?
You have a very common problem. Sometimes when a person puts to much emphasis on one particular thing. They worry to much that they don't do well. Maybe your are in this situation. So relax when it comes time for the big exam.
Best of Luck
maybe it is the testing that is a problem
if you understand the material, but still score low, it could be you are not studying for the test
review the old exams, find the pattern of testing and see what you are missing
never give up and you will get them
more efforts are not enough. beside study hard u should also study smart coz study right in place is very important...

Do you think someone with 10 years of dating experience qualifies to give love advice here?
Why or why not?
Especially to teens.Do you think someone with 10 years of dating experience qualifies to give love advice here?
I think their are no qualifications to give advice. Life experience does mean a lot, but it's not everything. The whole purpose of Yahoo Answers is to get different perspectives from many different types of people to help you solve your problem. I think if this site required a certain level of experience to answer a question the answers wouldn't be any better and there would be fewer of them. Do you think someone with 10 years of dating experience qualifies to give love advice here?
have they experienced love?
that is a prerequisite I believe. The question doesn't necessarily mean that they have learned anything in their relationships.
especially to teens?
I really don't think that anyone on here, especially teens, should be asking for advice. I think that you need to experience everything on your own. So I say take the good and the bad. You can't appreciate love without having your heart ripped out and stomped on the floor right in front of you.
The advice on here is pretty worthless if you have read some of it. I have seen comments that could destroy a relationship without letting the other person get a chance.
I would say yes. Any experience in dating gives you some knowledge and growth. But, the person receiving the advice would have to keep in mind that these are average people and therefore the advice is not what you would receive from a professional relationship counselor. Everyone has been through the teen years, so everyone can give some advice. But, those in their 80's had much different experiences in their teens than today's teens. I'm 24 and I've been dating since I was 15. I feel qualified to give advice to teens. But then again, I don't answer questions that I don't have any experience with. It is much easier to see both sides of the situation when you are not directly or personally involved in that situation.
Of course..You don't have to have 10 years of experience to answer some of these questions on here. Some are just common sense that some people have just forgot it seems. Its all about putting yourself in that persons situation, using past experience or just common sense to answer the questions on here. Most people think they are qualified to give advice and there not but they still do so anyone and everyone whether there qualified or not still give advice
Well, theres a lot of variables to take into account. the first being, teenagers, by design are pretty dumb. Especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Second, ten years don't account to much if you don't have anything to show for it. I could date for 20 people in 10 years, i could date 10 in 10 years, but obviously its showing something isn't working. And most importantly, in 10 years of dating, its entirely possible to never have tasted the bittersweet tang of love. And that, is the nail in the coffin for giving love advice
I hope im making sense. In my head, its crystal clear.
Yes. Experience is something to go by. And while other people can read stuff off the internet or put their two cents in, the person with experience is talking from the heart and has probably been through whatever it is that they are giving advice on.
Everyone has the right to answer questions on Yahoo!Answers, so no one should knock anyone else's answers. People with experience know what they're talking about, but if you don't agree, then don't worry about it. They are only trying to help.
I don't see why not. Ten years of experience is more than adequate in other fields that require advice. I think it's all about the way that you approach the person seeking advice, especially when its a teenager. So as long as you don't dominate the conversation, it should go over just fine.
I don't think it's necessarily the years of experience that count, but how experience-filled those years were. A person can have 20 years of dating experience and still not know as much as someone who had more pitfalls and ups and downs during 10 years of dating experience.
It depends. Maybe if it sounds logical but just because they've been dating for 10yrs doesn't mean they're doing it right....maybe there's a reason (a bad one at that) that they've been dating around for 10yrs and can't find someone that will stick with them. Just follow your heart w/e it is.....friends have always given me advice but I always end up doing what I think will make me happy in the end. Goodluck :)
who cares, you know there are people out there who give advice and they dont have 10 years of experience, this isnt a job and no experiece or qualifications are needed, in the end if the person who asked the question is happy with your answer thats all that matters, right?
Not necessarily. I mean just because they've been around doesn't mean they have their heads screwed on better than someone that has been dating for say, 4 years.
One would assume that person is better equipped to give advice but it isn't a given imo.
I think everyone qualifies to give advice here. That's why it's called advice. It's not a professional, paid comment. It's just my experience, and yours, and hers, and his -- we each bring something different to the table.
No, experience does not necessarily make you expert at something. Lewis Hamilton is a young inexperienced yet brilliant driver. My mother is an experienced motorist but is probably the worst driver in the world.
I dont think anyone should give anybody advice about love.. because its impossible to know a persons situation.. thoughts.. feelings.. I think people listening to peoples advice about love is how people mess up there relationships but trying to place someone elses views into there relationship
They qualify. That doesn't mean their answers will always be right, though, since situations can vary so much. Someone with a month of dating experience might be more familiar with a certain situation than someone who has dated for ten years.
No, they don't.
the only way that someone should give advice is if they use though same strategies, don't speak and advise if you yourself are walking down the path blindly.
i think anyone with some common sense and experience can give love advice to anyone... just having another person look at a situation might be the thing you need to solve the problem or dilemma because they have a fresh view about the topic
I don't think anyone qualifies to give love advice. Love means something different to everyone and the situations are never the same.
Everyone is qualified to give advice...
...but you should only take the advice of those mature enough to follow their own advice.
It depends on what type of experience they've had in the past ten years.
If they've slept around for the past ten years, I certainly wouldn't want them giving advice to my teen daughter.
yes,i do. they have been out there and have many experiences that will help others along the way to finding the right person for them.
umm....that depends. I think if someone has had one good relationship or good relationships over time then they would be good to talk to about love because they know the ups and downs of relationships.
I think we all take a shot. Personally, I also had a long single/dating life but I've learned a lot more about love from my marriage.
yea i guess so..you can give me some advie...i need it!
