I think the most tip are more likely to backfire is get movin’ because
sometimes in doing such things we only think what is best for us, what we
wanted to achieve in our self and because of that we tend not to think if someone
is having a feeling of hatred to us because sometimes being full in our self can
hurt someone’s ego, can change our attitude and our perspective in life.
For example: You accidentally step someone’s foot and say sorry but that
someone is kind of excessive for attention, instead of accepting it she was angry
and give you a sharp looking eye and then left.
I think I would revise the tip into “ Don’t get easily affected and keep moving”
