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?

Watch out for short men. They are bantam roosters.

#1 A co-worker suggested I get serious about knowing
Jesus.

#2 “You should really go out with that guy”. This
was in 1994. It quickly became apparent “that
guy” was my soulmate. We married two years later.

#3 “You should check out Free Republic.” This from
a woman in my email loop and a longtime Freeper.
She has since opused out and left, LOL.

Dad:

“You have got to ‘Learn from other peoples mistakes’, because there isn’t enough time to make them all yourself.”

It ain’t full ‘till it runs over.

People don't treat you the way they treat you because of who you are. They treat you the way they treat you because of who they are.

Sometimes the adage "treat others the way you want to be treated" really doesn't work, especially if the other person is an immature, self-centered, narcissistic jerk who thinks only of themselves and not of the consequences of their actions.

In the form of a prayer:
The Peace Prayer of Saint Francis

"O Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace!
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is discord, harmony.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sorrow, joy.

Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not 
so much seek to be consoled as to console; 
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive; 
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; 
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life."
As sung by John Michael Talbot

When I got married I asked the happiest married woman that I knew for advice and she told me to put my husband first, even before the children. She told me that the best thing we could do for our children was to love another and raise them in a house where that marital relationship was the top priority.

My first boss in the military told me that, and I remembered it ever since.

Never let anyone take away your joy.

Then they control you.

if you’re bored in those meetings, you’re just a wall hanging.

those not bored in meetings are the leaders setting direction and policy
