Best advice you ever got
After responding to another thread and sharing the best advice I ever got, I thought I'd like to hear what each of you consider to be the best advice you were ever given.
The best advice I ever got? I went to a clergyman and rattled on and on how my son would go to jail if I didn't intervene, blah blah blah. He just sat there and smiled. When I finally shut up and asked him what to do, he gave me the words of advice that I would keep leaning on: "Just love 'em." I did and I do. Just love 'em. I backed off and let my four kids make their mistakes and learn from them, just like I was allowed to do when I was a young person. |
My Dad:
Apply the Law of Proportionality to your life: You have two ears and one mouth, so listen twice as often as you speak. |
Victor, you have a very wise father. So, did you always listen to his good advice? :winky:
|
It's really a tie,
If you want friends, first, be a friend. Buy low, sell high. The Ten Commandments. |
What to teach your children about money:
How to earn it How to save it How to spend it And how to SHARE it |
My Dad said, never be afraid to admit you''re wrong in anything - choices, jobs, life, etc. Start over.

Tomorrow is a new day.:)

Don't worry about the "What If's. . . " - My Dad You are far stronger than you think. - My Mom Learn to be content being alone and you will never be lonely. - My Mom Always try to look at things objectively before making a decision. - One of my sisters Don't ever borrow my clothes again when going out partying. - Another one of my sisters. LOL. She really did advise me on that and I never borrowed another article of clothing from her again. LOL. |
