Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 12, 2021

The great thing about advice is that your don’t have to take it.

Pig would be successful as bacon.

That wouldn’t work. Even if you got rid of your failures, you’ll still have a fear of it.

Work smarter, not harder.

He didn’t charge you 5 cents, did he?;

What about the fear part, Rat?

You need to wake up to be a success. My brother is still asleep.

If at first you don’t succeed, try something else.

Depends on who is giving the advice!

Rat could be a role model and eliminate himself as adviser.

First of all, define success.

Rat is overrated !

Rat the realist.

I think Goat should offer Pig some tea. More helpful than advice from Rat but then again that is really setting the bar low.

Like my dad always says, “Consider the source and ignore it.”

You can either achieve your unknown dreams or end up in some sort of butcher shop.

Why not just get rid of the “of”?

We have nothing to fear but fear itself but that is probably enough!

Well some advice is overrated. You are asking a barista how to be successful (and not even a good barista). You should ask someone who has been successful

Pig just doesn’t take any advice to heart…..

So close….

The pig,if I am not mistaken

Supplies us sausage,ham,and bacon

Let others say his heart is big

I call it stupid of the pig.

Good advice, Pig. Good, but overrated.

Failure is easy to eliminate. Don’t do anything. Of course, you still won’t feel successful.

Let’s Go, Brandon

We all will need advice on occasion / And finding an expert may require some exploration. / Advice you can accept or reject / On any topic or subject / To arrive at your expectation. // So when getting advice, consider the advisor. / Are they smarter than you or any wiser? / If they are, then take heed. / If not, then recede, / And another advisor acquire.

Eliminating either one would be the right answer……

All the most successful people in life have had several failures in their life before becoming a success

I’d love to eliminate failing. Mostly because I hate to fail.

If you fail spectacularly then it is a worthwhile success. We all succeed at failure.

I sense an Abbott and Costello routine coming: Fear? Failing. What? Yes. Why? Fear. Failing? Yes. What?

Often true, Pig…often

If I eliminated failing, I wouldn’t have much of a life.

Rather, Pig is under-motivated. Lazy Pig! Shame!

look who you asked

This kind of advice, for sure!

I’m beginning to think Pastis is spying on me…
