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. |

It's really a tie,
If you want friends, first, be a friend. Buy low, sell high. The Ten Commandments.

This was from a dear friend....
"Don't be afraid to ask for help. Get the help you need. Do it for yourself because if you do it for someone else... it won't mean a thing to you in the long run." Abbie

My Dad was good for pithy sayings.
 "Don't let your mouth write a check that your butt can't pay for" "When someone/something knocks you down, get back up and hit them/it harder" "Close mouth. Open ears. Engage brain" "If your friend stuck their head in the toilet, would you follow them?" I always hated the last one!  I'd give anything to hear him say it again.
