Top 30 Best Life Advice From Men in 5 Words or Less…

I see it all the time, older men are always trying to give advice to men and share their “wisdom” on what they’ve found to be the secret to living a successful life.

Men seem to have this primal urge to help the next generation of men to avoid the struggles of life which they have experienced.

This is great because every man needs a community of men helping each other out but it’s hard wading through all of the “wisdom” which has been bestowed on us from the generation before us.

I wanted to make it a little bit easier to figure out what is the best advice and make life easier for you.

So, I put together a list of the 30 best pieces of advice I’ve heard men give to other men, in 5 words or less.
