Share with us the best advice you've ever received. Did your parents have some good advice for you as you were growing up? I don't think my parents ever gave me any advice at all. I think a friend told me once to pay attention to the "red flags" you get when you meet a man. I don't think I listened for quite awhile and I have regretted it. So, share some good advice that you've received from someone in your past.

Well a friend of mine gave this advice "If it dont kill you it can only make you stronger". Nothing useful ever comes from his mouth really but when it does, it makes a huge impact. Also my parents always used to say this, " No school no future".

don't jump to conclusions. if you are mad, don't rave right away and calm down. there is always an explanation for everything.
