What is the best advice you've ever received?

Posted on 05/24/2014 9:32:56 PM PDT by MNDude

Maybe it was some wise warning your dad once gave you, or maybe it was something useful your coach told you that still guides you today, but what would you consider that best advice you've ever received?

There are perhaps a couple of ways to do a job right, and thousands of ways to do it wrong.

My mentor in my current line of work many years ago. “In life either you’re the pigeon, or you’re the statue. You are one of the 2. Pick one”

That the only thing that matter in this world is love.

In the end, it’s all you ever had, and it’s the only thing you can take with you

hands inside the ride at all times.

eat your vegetables.

do not let me catch you doing THAT (fill in whatever THAT is).

if you can’t afford it, don’t buy it.

tv will rot your brain.

when you have sex with someone you’re sleeping with everyone they’ve slept with.

Wait until after 30 to get married. Maybe the feeling will go away and then you can buy a sports car.

From my Maternal Grandfather married at 33. I married at 34.
Neither of us ever got that sports car.

Steer clear of drugs and booze.

I recently got a ticket —tons of scuzzy perps had to go first and nearly everyone there in court was for SOMETHING that somehow had SOMETHING to do with booze or drugs.

Don't marry that girl.

I didn't.

I waited, and I ended up marrying a different girl who is the love of my life.

“Twice I cut it off and it’s still too short.” Told to me by Dad when I started snarling about some stupid mistake I’d made in the shop. Always calmed me down and got me reconnected. Dad always said it in German, too.

Also “You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.” Although a good life lesson from Dad, I never understood why I wanted to catch flies.
