1. Don't talk to strangers

If you took this rule literally as an adult, you'd never make friends, never network, and never get a job.

This rule made some sense when you were a 5-year-old and thought anyone offering a candy out of a van was just being neighborly.

But in adulthood, it's a social handicap disguised as wisdom.

The original rule was created with good intentions to keep children safe. It's shorthand for "don't trust random adults who might have creepy motives."

The truth is, everyone is a stranger before they're not.

The adult version of the rule would be:

"Don't be gullible, but be open."
