You know, like “always split on 18,” or “having kids is the most rewarding thing you can do in life.”

What’s that one bit of advice you got from a trusted friend that you know deep, deep down would just ruin your thing?

    “Many hands make light work” vs “Too many cooks spoil the broth”

      I don’t know that those have to be in conflict… If you make a 1 word change to the second. “Too many chefs spoil the broth”. Good to have extra hands helping, in almost every case - but only if the hands are well directed. If everyone thinks they’re in charge, or doesn’t know the scope of where they’re in charge, odds of success drop.

        I liked it the way it was thank you. I guess too many editors spoil the sentence. ;)
