The Best Advice You’ve Ever Received (and Are Willing to Pass On)
Lately I’ve been thinking: How many other people have life-changing words of advice to share? And wouldn’t “Crowdwise” be a perfect place to publish them? And so, dear readers, I invited you to submit the best advice you’ve ever received. Here’s some of what you shared, conveniently categorized.
I Was America’s First ‘Nonbinary’ Person. It Was All a Sham.

“That’s the way I was brought up and that’s the way I believe,” he continued. “I have black friends, I hired black people.

- — Eleven percent of survey respondents have never traveled outside of the state where they were born.
- — Over half of those surveyed (54 percent) say they’ve visited 10 states or fewer.
