I wish Americans would stop obsessing over learning languages that they don't use and bother to do something they could actually realistically accomplish. Like read a reasonably reputable newspaper or weekly news magazine and a book (English)
But no good student who approaches the grad school process in a sane manner is going to work for a professor whose students stay there for 12 years and don't graduate. A common thing for deciding if you want to work with someone is seeing how long their students took to graduate, where they ended up, emailing them, etc.
I feel like most guitarists are so extra about equipment. Most good guitarists I know will sound fine playing mediocre guitars through cheap amps, while a bad guitarist is just not going to sound good on anything
My grandpa is into his 80s without many health issues while drinking occasionally but not everyday or anything. His brothers all loved drinking more and died earlier in much worse condition. Hence I will just drink smaller amounts of alcohol and not obsess over such issues

I consider most of that stuff to be trash. I think, according to common sense, bad things happening to you is actually bad (for a variety of reasons). Many people who make it out of difficult situations end up with minds and belief systems so twisted that they borderline can't function in human relationships (e.g. a relative who would borderline abuse his children by screaming at them until they were crying and cowering over minor infractions because he believes you choose how you react to external circumstances and his dad pulled a gun on him so this obviously isn't even a big deal and the kid needs to stop overreacting and just try harder)
