About This Quote
Saying, "You should listen to me" is like saying, "You should get your wisdom teeth pulled." It's not helpful. The only thing you will get out of listening to people when they tell you what you should do is the hurt feelings of them telling you what you should do. If you find yourself in this situation, it's probably best to just walk away and save yourself the discomfort.
