We've all been given advice over the yrs (good and bad). What would you say is the one piece of advice you've received that has helped you the most? And who was the one that passed it along to you (or how did you receive the advice)? There's so much to choose from, but I'll go with my uncle telling me when I was around 18 yrs old (in my early 50s now) that trust is something that has to be earned. You don't give it away (or receive it) for free. Runner up would be everyone gets scared, but you have to press forward despite the fear. The more you do it (facing your fear) the easier it will become. My mother told me this when I was about five. Who knows, we might get some great advice by this thread.
Careerwise, never quit in order to run away from a bad situation. If the job sucks, change course by running towards a better situation.
There's two bulls standing on top of a mountain. The younger one says to the older one: "Hey pop, let's say we run down there and f*** one of them cows". The older one says: "No son. Lets walk down and f*** 'em all."
So the advice here would be if you see a DVD with Sean Penn and Robert Duvall on the cover, it's probably worth a watch.
"If you button your shirt all the way up, you will look like a nerd." - Dad "When you've done your best, that's the best you can do." - Mom "There's only one captain of this ship." - Mom "If your right arm is preventing you from seeing the kingdom of God, cut it off." - Mom "When you turn 18, you are out of this house." - Mom "Tell your father, you're his responsibility now." - Mom "A business degree is useless, you're going to end up managing a Walgreens." - Mom "You're using too much water to wash the dishes." - Dad "Why the hell do you use Super Unleaded? There's literally no difference between the two!" - Dad
The things you own end up owning you. I didn't really understand this quote when I first saw Fight Club. It was probably a decade later that I took it to heart. i didn't need all this crap i accumulated so i threw out most of it. i'm not a minimalist but i stopped being a consumer. also, someone once said don't put the p***y on the pedestal. life has never been the same.
OR; never trust a woman or anything else that bleeds for 7 days and doesn't die. My best advice was: "you don't want to stick that needle in your arm..." Thank the maker I took that advice!
