5. Breathe deep,
put your pride in your pocket, and listen to what your brother has to suggest.

If you're quoting him verbatim; it's time to ask him:
1) How do you think I should have researched?
2) How do you think I've misplaced my priorities?
3) Which decisions are you suggesting I made in haste?

Try to view his criticism from an analytical perspective...the way you might read a "how to" manual, regardless of his intent. You have everything to gain by considering his advice. And you may find in living with him that your advice will be just as welcome.

I'm glad you're getting out of that place!

Good luck!
