My favorite piece of advice was Aaron Burr’s advice to
Alexander Hamilton, “Talk less, smile more.” This has stuck with me because
number one its from Hamilton, but also it stresses the importance of finding
happiness. Everyone has the tendency to get caught up in the latest gossip and
not really live in the moment and be happy. Our society is overrun with labels
and images and we don’t focus on what makes us happy, but rather what can we say or do to
make others happy or think highly of ourselves. Life is so much bigger than
what someone is going to wear to a dance or the latest drama. This quote has
helped me remember to not get caught up in life and take the time to reflect
and find happiness in the little things (no matter how hard it might be for a
pessimist like myself.) Even though a literal piece of scum (Aaron Burr or
rather his actor) is credited for this saying, I think it can be applied to
many aspects of life.
