Okay, one of the pieces of advice that I initially disagreed with but that I found to be useful is the advice that I was given by my parents. And this advice was that I should always respect the elders, that whenever an elder says something that I find to be useful, I should ask to respect that decision. The advice given does not have a negative impact on my life. And this advice was that when an elder is talking, I should not have or I am not supposed to interfere in the statement. I should first let them finish the statement before I interfere. One day, an elder was looking at me and he told me that I should have to marry before I am late. And I found that at first I disagreed with that statement because I told him that life now is very challenging. The cost of living is very high and if I go to marry, I will not be able to afford to feed my family. But later I found that after some time, I found that marriage was not only about the cost of living, but it was about being left to live. And to have marriage would give me a new challenge of working out.
