What is the Best advice you've been given?

[Ladybj]

The best advice I can think of was from my mom (may she RIP) "Always keep a nest egg". GREAT advice. I've also learned from life that things don't always turn out as you expect - always have a back up plan.

 

[RadishRose]

Don't discuss politics, religion or money outside the home.

 

[Don M.]

"Work hard, and support yourself and family", from my old Dad.

 

[officerripley]

My sister used to yell at me when we were kids, "Who the hell cares what you think?!" I should've believed her. (I wish she had said it nicely in a kindly-advice kind of way; but she was right, I know that now.)

 

[Ellen Marie]

It wasn't a comment to me, but I learned from it.... One of my daughter's favorite two words. Don't. Settle.

 

[Wren]

Keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut

 

[Aunt Bea]

Be good... and if you can't be good, be careful.

 

[ronaldj]

if you knew how little people think of you, you wouldn't care how little people think of you.

 

[Aneeda72]

Nobody cares how you feel, from mother.

Always wear clean underwear from grandma.

 

[hellomimi]

You are the only one that won't leave you nor forsake you. Learn to love yourself.

 

[gennie]

Engage brain before operating mouth.

 

[StarSong]

Don't discuss politics, religion or money outside the home.

LOL I discuss them all - with great regularity, I might add!

 

[StarSong]

Make sure you can earn a living. (From my mother who was stuck in a bad marriage.)

"Stay away from her."

 

[bowmore]

"Get out of Dodge". My best friend told me to get away from home in NYC. I ended up in California, and have been here ever since.

 

[hellomimi]

"Stay away from her."

Who her? Don't stay away from the upstate New Yorker

Best advice

1.always work with a fat man.

Not because they are lazy or slow moving but because they will always find the easiest way to get a job done.

2. Don't be afraid to make a mistake.

Mistakes are learning tools you remember.

"a change is as good as a rest" my father

 

[Irwin]

Don't drink bleach.

 

[Liberty]

Dear old dad..."don't worry about what people are saying about you now, you'll be called worse things by better people".

 

[debodun]

My mother's youngest brother once told me, "If you aren't planning on ever getting married, you'd better be pretty, smart or rich."

That's when I started saving my money.

 

[FastTrax]

if you knew how little people think of you, you wouldn't care how little people think of you.

This is the best comment so far. Truer words were never spoken. Funny when you say that to some people they cock their heads to the side and try to figure what you just said and more so what it actually means, lololol

 

[Pepper]

I don't remember but I'm sure I didn't take it.

 

[Irwin]

You can believe only half of what you see and none of what you hear.

Deb,

That reminds me of the Delaney sisters.
