Default 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?

It's really a tie,

If you want friends, first, be a friend.

What to teach your children about money:

How to earn it
How to save it
How to spend it
And how to SHARE it

Um, since I wasn't great at following advice . . .LOL. j/k

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.

accomplish the important, first

be it 'things to do lists' or decisions ...

you can't ever move back home ... always learned to survive alone - anywhere I was ...
