Hm.
Don't let $soandso convince you to do X.
Push harder for Y.

I mean how is it any different from living in the past ?

I suppose there's "the reason you keep ending up putting bases together on Set Crew is that you keep wearing short skirts and although you don't realize it you have good legs"

or "just because it's expected doesn't mean you have to keep staying in choir when you hate it"

except there were fun times, too, in choir. And good friends, thuogh I've pretty much lost track of them all.
