It's much easier to live with such attitude. However, it should be treated with care when it comes to relationships with close people and other essential things.

     Couldn't agree more!

Devil-may-Care

Meaning:

– worry-free or carefree attitude
– reckless
– relaxed and not worried about the results of your actions

Examples:

She had a rather devil-may-care attitude towards money which impressed me at the time.
 You must get rid of your devil-may-care attitude if you want to succeed.
 He has a rather devil-may-care attitude to his studies.

     

This Devil-may-Care attitude to things helps a lot.

What People Will not Do

     These are some of the things that people generally will not do. They will not look beyond their own self interest. Their first thought is "where do I come in?" or "what will I gain?" New ideas are hard sledding because people will not accept changes willingly.
     It is considered that people are negative by nature. People will not differ from the crowd.

IF I get it right, we need to remember that 'silence is golden' sometimes.

     Oh, yes! It is. And I am coming to the conclusion that we should try to learn when and how we can use it.

I do agree. It's better to ask women. But I can assume, that people these days are satiated with a variety of choices, so the majority no longer know how to enjoy simple things. Which is rather sad.

     And what do we enjoy, if anything?

  What People Will Do

     There are certain things that people generally will do. They will readily, easily and promptly do things that are repeatedly suggested to them. It is said that 70 percent of the people respond easily to suggestions. People will follow all habits. They will follow all slogans.

    To Das. I believe this advice can be successfully used in the teacher's work.

Maybe if implemented correctly, such approach might make one more successful. However, there are tons of cases when such behavior led to opposite results

    Sure, it might! And if you give it a thought... It's becoming the way of life nowadays.
