Wisdom?

Eat less and exercise. Eat your veggies. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

I have been given correct advice so many times from very wise people. Typically, I would just admire from a distance but be to afraid or unwilling to act on my own.

At the same time, I have experienced various successes. People occasionally inquire how certain things were accomplished. Yet, they think things like....that works for you, but (insert excuse here).

Why do we do that? The only reason I can think of is that we are too in love with our own ways.
