This is kind of a random topic, but I figured that since most of us don’t blend seamlessly into society we might be more prone to strange advice than most people.
My favorite piece of advice that I’ve ever been given came from my piano teacher when I was 15. Completely out of the blue, she told me that I should marry a rich husband. Based on my interests, I reminded her of young girls from the Victorian era, so she thought that I should marry a rich man to enable me to fully devote my time, energy, and some money to honing my skill on the piano, reading, crocheting, weaving, training my birds, and sketching a little.
