It applies mostly to guys (at least that has been my experience), but I think everybody could find it useful. Here it is: If you are ever in a situation where&nbsp;people are&nbsp;encouraging you to do something by telling you &#8220;don&#8217;t be a p&#8212;-y,&#8221; then don&#8217;t do it. In other words, never do what they are encouraging you to do. Simple, right? Not following&nbsp;their advice is 100% always the right choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, there&nbsp;will be&nbsp;instances&nbsp;in life when you&#8217;ll be advised to step up, take responsibility, even &#8220;be a man.&#8221; Sometimes&nbsp;those giving&nbsp;the advice&nbsp;will have your&nbsp;best interests in heart, and you&nbsp;can at least consider taking it. But if&nbsp;they say&nbsp;&#8220;don&#8217;t be a p&#8212;-y,&#8221; yeah,&nbsp;they don&#8217;t&nbsp;care about you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a similar one: People&nbsp;who talk&nbsp;only&nbsp;<em>rights<\/em>&nbsp;but never&nbsp;<em>responsibilities<\/em>&nbsp;are&nbsp;better off not being listened to. What they are saying is&nbsp;all about them and nothing about you (or anybody else really).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t come up with&nbsp;the rights\/responsibilities life&nbsp;hack myself. It&#8217;s from a podcast I&nbsp;heard recently, but it might as well have been from&nbsp;a high school civics course.&nbsp;Citizens taking care to exercise their rights responsibly&nbsp;is a basic&nbsp;tenant on which&nbsp;democracies&nbsp;depend to function properly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, don&#8217;t drink bleach. That&#8217;s&nbsp;another&nbsp;good one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a life hack for you.
