“Good advice at the wrong time is bad advice.
Life is full of seasons and each season has different requirements.
Know what season you are in, and you can better identify which ideas to utilize.” – James Clear
The first line in this quote really hit me!
“Good advice at the wrong time is bad advice.“
My immediate thought was parenting, and then I thought of teaching. You know when a kid screws up and you ask, “What were you thinking?” Well, pretty much anything you say after that, no matter how good, will not be appreciated or learned from. At this point one of two things is happening in the kid’s brain: Either they have already got your point and now you are rubbing it in, or they’ve switched off.
Ever get in an argument with someone you love and live with? When you are right, and you know that they know you are right, is that enough to let it go? Do you let it go?
When advice, lessons, corrections… no matter how wise… are tossed around at the wrong time, how effective is it?
“Good advice at the wrong time is bad advice.“
