Assignment #19- Noah Ford

The thing about advice is that while it frequently is considered inane and repetitive, that is because good advice doesn't change. There isn't some magical new advice that gets invented. Advice is the passing of knowledge to someone else based off of your own experiences, and lets face it, the world fundamentally doesn't change from generation to generation. Sure there are some technological advances, but the major aspects- wealth, hunger, employment, and other matters- don't really change. Advice from one generation is easily applicable to another generation that is like 300 years later. For example, the advice, "practice makes perfect," is used so often because repetition is what makes you better at an action. The more you do something, the better you get at it. Another example is the "don't do drugs." Drugs are bad for you. Period. Not doing drugs will leave you better off and prevent you from ruining your life with an addiction. Anyways, there hasn't been any foundation shaking advice that I've been given. The most applicable one is probably practice makes perfect because I have played or am playing three sports. I played baseball and soccer, and am currently playing golf and practicing archery. So I understand and apply myself to the practice of those sports, because at the end of the day, practice does make perfect."
