How to Win. Every Time.

In light of this post being about when to take advice and from whom, I thought a post-script prologue was due since……

Harder for some than others, and I believe that’s because of constantly training ourselves to either think positively, which is hard and must be consciously done sometimes or think negatively. Thinking negatively……
