Does a fact count as wisdom?

My coworker was advised by her doctor to soak her feet in water with epsom salt. She decided to put the epsom salt directly on her injured foot.
So my advice is don't literally rub salt on a wound.

Aard's wisdom must be great

-
Most people take interactions at face value and will never think about them again. They will go on with their lives and never give that thing you did you're overanalysing a second thought.
-
Unless you work someplace super dysfunctional your boss will tell you if you're doing a bad job. It's in no one's interest (including the company) to keep it a secret or to surprise you out of the blue with a bad review.
-
Don't make one thing your entire personality. You don't want to be lost if that one thing should change or go away. And, related,
-
There's nothing wrong with having varied, surface level interests as opposed to one single hyperfocused interest.
-
A great way to meet people and make friends is to join a local club or interest group. If all else fails you always have something to talk about - the shared interest.
-
Being right is often overrated. Sometimes it's better to let someone be wrong than it is to try and correct them.
-
Choose your battles. Not every fight has to be fought and not every argument argued. Think about the stakes and ask yourself "what's my end game here? what am I trying to achieve and is it even realistic to achieve that?"
-
If you look like you know what you're doing people assume you do.
-
If you're dressed like you should be somewhere then people assume you belong there.
-
Fake confidence. It's what we (adults) are all doing everyday anyway and it will get you farther than you think.

This is for my 21+ adience. The answer you seek won't lie in the bottom of a bottle. Got this advice from a supervisor who also was my mentor back when I worked with him.

Here's a good wisdom that has been helpful for me personally:
The only way to come to terms with your past mistakes, is to move forward.

Another piece of advice I got was "Be the leader you needed when you started. Because the day people stop coming to you with their problems is the day you stop being a leader."

I’d say that my favorite nugget of wisdom as of late is that it’s okay to ask for help— even if you feel you’re not worthy of it.
nova gazelle
Honestly... that might be the best wisdom so far.

To add to 6 (and a little bit 7), it's okay to be wrong sometimes. Keep an open mind, accept you don't always have the right answer.
But also, it's easier to learn from other people's mistakes (given you understand the thought process that went into it).

You want to cover yourself with the school?
sonic rover
That would be schule.

Oh I'd also share one of my strong convictions:
Never apologise for who you are

Perhaps another one to that could be your existence isn't a political statement.

Communication is very important.
Don't assume the answer will always be no. You don't know the actual answer until you ask.
Don't assume other people can read your mind and stew in your negative emotions. If something is bothering you, talk about it with them.
Misunderstandings are extremely common even in solid relationships! Don't think you can read minds, even those you love! If you think they're upset or you did something wrong, talk about it.
