Summary

This quote suggests that advice holds little value and is essentially worthless. It implies that one should not place too much importance on the advice given by others, as it may not necessarily lead to desired outcomes or offer genuine assistance. The speaker acknowledges that advice has no tangible cost because it is often subjective and may not consider individual circumstances or preferences. Therefore, the quote encourages individuals to critically analyze advice received and make their own judgments, emphasizing the significance of personal experience and intuition.
