JadeStar Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 What is the best advice you ever received from anyone about anything? It could have been from a friend/family memeber, or perhaps it was advice given to you from someone on here. Share what that advice was. Jade

Yamaha Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 That my ex wasn't even my friend. Advice given by LB. Really helped me in dealing with what she was doing to me.
lilmoma1973 Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Has it worked? Some what and figured out Sunday who was the problem and it is my h he went to record some mexican music for a guy he works with and he had to finish them up and promised daughter that he would be home early so that we could finish christmas decorations!!

quankanne Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 from my mom, "Never go to bed angry with someone." because it really screws up a good night's sleep!
LBC Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 You can have everything you want in the world, just not all at the same time. Focus on the task at hand, then move onto the next.
Author JadeStar Posted December 19, 2005 Author Posted December 19, 2005 I have received lots of good advice from many different people. One that sticks out in my mind someone once told me, to "trust people only 99 percent of the time and always leave that one percent, because you just never know." That came from someone on here along time ago not long after I joined. I can not remember who it was. Jade
alphamale Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 my parents always used to tell me and my brothers that education and intelligence are the keys to success in life.
lilmoma1973 Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 from my mom, "Never go to bed angry with someone." because it really screws up a good night's sleep! My mom always told me that my dad and her always made up if they was mad at each other and she also said the if you don't make up then you can't have the make up sex !! I GUESS THATS WHY THEY HAD 5 KIDS ALSO!! LOL:laugh:
JS17 Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 I got a tremendous amount of advice when I went through my breakup in January from friends and family. When I saturated that market I came to LS. One of the other threads reminded me of a few pearls of wisdom. My mom told me that from the worst pain comes the greatest growth. A friend told me that you could never be a good girlfriend/boyfriend to anyone without having your heartbroken at least once. That one stuck with me and I realized how true it was. When I met the guy after my ex I knew we would never last because he had never had his heart broken. I was right too, the kid had absolutely no compassion or empathy for anything much less me. I'm sure I have a ton more but those two were on my mind at the moment.
lindya Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Best advice - when I was having a really crappy time in a job where office politics were wild and bullying was rife. I just wanted to walk away and never have to look at those people again. A colleague who I confided in told me not to walk away until I could honestly say I'd put in 100% effort to stand my ground and master the situation rather than let it master me. So I did, and I did. If I'd just walked away when I wanted to, I don't think I'd have ever stopped runnning away from difficulties like that - and let's face it, we all run up against them sometimes.
LucreziaBorgia Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 My grandfather would tell me all the time "Its not what you know, its who you know" and I used to scoff at that... I think to a great extent, particularly in a small town like where I live its fairly accurate.
TUDOR Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 "Not getting what you want is some times exactly what you need" My mom use to tell me that and I have found it to be true on several occassions.
Outcast Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 My grandfather would tell me all the time "Its not what you know, its who you know" and I used to scoff at that... I think to a great extent, particularly in a small town like where I live its fairly accurate. A commissioner in a government agency told me the exact same thing and I do believe that's the smartest piece of advice I've gotten.
jayteresa Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 I have been heart broken a couple of times now, and my mum being the great woman she is, feared I would become bitter and negative about relationships. She gave me a card one day which read "OMNIA VINCIT AMOR" which is latin for "love conquers all". She made me realise that that no matter how terrible things can seem in life, I still have a lot to give, whether it be for family, friends or a future love. parents are great!
Becoming Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Dating advice from my father: never seriously date anyone you wouldn't consider marryinglove's initial passion fades, but good companionship with a good man will take you through all life throws at youit's just as easy to fall in love with a rich man as a poor one (hey, he was a banker! He was also a kidder, and I didn't take him seriously on this one.) Best advice is from my grandmother, though, who used to always say, "Life is what YOU make it." She also had another proverb I like: "Can't never did nothin'."
jayteresa Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 "Can't never did nothin'." I love that one, my nan said that too!
tanbark813 Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 I've received a lot of good advice on here and from close friends, but one piece that sticks out most right now was during my last break-up about a year ago. I was discussing with a girl friend why I was trying to work things out with my ex. "I guess that as long as there's a glimmer of hope then I'm willing to hang in there," I said. She replied, "Why are you wasting time on someone for whom there's only a glimmer of hope? Why not move on and find a girl who gives you lots of reasons to be with her?" It seems so obvious but always struck me as brilliant in its simplicity. It was also something I really needed to hear at the time since I was being such a pussy.
Walk Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 My Dad once told me: We may only have average intelligence, but the only time your dumb is if you turn my back on learning. I was explaining to him my frustration with how quickly other people learn material in school, and how hard I have to work to learn the same information. It struck me because it made me realize it's not the faults or failings you have, but how you deal with them that counts.
