I got a bunch of solid advice and put it into this presentation that I will better format soon and use to teach a group of young adults selling home services.
I fed the presentation to GPT4o and it summarized each piece of advice with the person’s name. I then asked it to give me 20 more pieces of advice in same style from fictitious people. I like the real people advice way more…why is that?
Here is the convo:
The "Untitled Presentation" contains a collection of personal advice from various individuals to their younger selves. Here's a summary of the advice shared:
Volodymyr Reznichenko: Focus on emotional intelligence (EQ) rather than just intellectual intelligence (IQ).
Ken Johnson: Maintain a consistent pace of learning and growth throughout life, not just during early years.
Davis Warnock: Embrace challenges and discomfort as opportunities for growth.
Gunjan Bradshaw: Seek multiple mentors across different age groups and areas of life, and ask lots of questions.
Andrew Phillips: Document and quantify accomplishments, pursue goals persistently, and befriend everyone you meet.
Dan Hendricksen: Be humble, ask questions, work hard, and be ready for opportunities.
Krista Andersen: It's okay to change your mind and make different life choices, even if they deviate from past decisions or societal expectations.
Jennifer Moore: Affirming the importance of choosing the right life partner and cutting negative influences early.
Brad Fortuna: Take initiative in achieving goals and start saving early.
Wade Walker: Sales advice includes not taking rejections personally, following up, being helpful, and building long-lasting relationships.
Chris Smith: Perseverance through hardships and understanding that life’s challenges are not personal.
Mike Bates: Respect the experience of adults but recognize they don't have all the answers.
Jason Owen: The choice of life partner is crucial and significantly impacts life.
Mike LeMieux: Slow down and enjoy life’s journey without rushing.
Rob Sorensen: Hard work continues until the job is truly done, inspired by a ranching anecdote.
Dave D'Angelo: Build a community around whatever you are selling.
Mindy Lowry: Follow your heart and pursue what you are afraid to do.
Brad Hendersen: Build resilience instead of just pursuing happiness, and teach children to be capable of happiness independently.
Jonathan Bench: Think about life’s trajectory, learn from mistakes, and keep working towards success.
Kristi Holt: Embrace your power to choose your thoughts, feelings, and experiences; stay curious, learn quickly from failures, and honor your true self.
Krista G: Do your best each day, improve gradually, and maintain a positive attitude.
Each piece of advice emphasizes different aspects of personal and professional growth, resilience, and the importance of relationships and continuous learning.
ME: Can you create 20 more life advice in this same style from fictitious people?
ChatGPT
Sure, here are 20 pieces of life advice from fictitious people:
Alex Turner: Always be kind, even when it's difficult. You never know the battles others are fighting. Kindness costs nothing but means everything.
Mia Rodriguez: Take risks and step out of your comfort zone. The greatest rewards often come from the biggest challenges.
Liam Chen: Prioritize your health—both physical and mental. Without good health, it's hard to enjoy any success or wealth.
Emma Johnson: Learn to listen more than you speak. You'll gain valuable insights and build stronger relationships.
Noah Patel: Be patient. Success rarely happens overnight, and the journey is just as important as the destination.
Sophia Martinez: Surround yourself with positive people who lift you up and inspire you to be better.
Oliver Davis: Never stop learning. Stay curious and keep expanding your knowledge, no matter your age.
Ava Lee: Embrace failure as a part of growth. Every mistake is a lesson in disguise.
Ethan Brown: Practice gratitude daily. It shifts your focus from what you lack to what you have, and brings more happiness.
Isabella Clark: Follow your passion. When you love what you do, work feels less like work and more like joy.
Mason Hall: Be adaptable. Life is unpredictable, and your ability to pivot will determine your resilience.
Amelia Thompson: Invest in experiences over things. Memories and personal growth are far more valuable than material possessions.
Lucas Hernandez: Keep your promises. Integrity is one of the most important qualities you can have.
Charlotte Robinson: Learn to forgive, both yourself and others. Holding onto grudges only harms you.
Benjamin Walker: Be open to new perspectives. Different viewpoints can enrich your understanding and spark innovation.
Lily Young: Take time for self-reflection. Understanding yourself better will help you navigate life's challenges more effectively.
Jack King: Don't be afraid to ask for help. It's a sign of strength, not weakness, to recognize when you need support.
Ella Wright: Stay humble, no matter how successful you become. Humility keeps you grounded and respected.
Henry Scott: Focus on building meaningful relationships. People matter more than achievements or wealth.
Grace Nelson: Take care of your environment. A healthy planet is essential for a healthy life.

This is how I see myself doing presentations like this In the future. I will send ScottBot as proxy.
I wonder if the students will send their StuBot as proxy? I felt no measurable emotional difference in the advice columns for the 40. Which group are you going out to teach for the home services? I did something like that last year. Fun and rewarding.
