(The Hill) - President Biden is opening up about the crummiest advice he’s ever gotten, saying holding grudges “gets you nowhere.”“I guess the worst advice I’ve ever received was holding a grudge — because lots of times when people do something that is really not good, it’s because they were fearful when they did it. Not fearful of you, but their circumstance,” Biden said in an interview on Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast released Monday.“It gets you nowhere, which means people will doubt that I’m really Irish,” Biden quipped.“But all kidding aside,” the 80-year-old president continued, “Remembering is important, but holding a grudge is not helpful.”The best advice Biden said he’d been given was to “show up.”“My mother used to say, ‘Joey, get up. Never bow, never bend. Just get up.' But showing up, that's a big part,” he said.In the wide-ranging chat focused on grief and mental health, Biden also revealed he’s definitely not serving as the country’s TV viewer in chief.As...
