They say that people who ask for advice are only looking for an accomplice. But the best advice I ever got was to never listen to anyone else's advice. Actually, I listen to others and agree with myself, LOL.

now that is good advice. you are right, most people just want you to agree with what they are going to do anyway. however there are those few who really are asking for some guidance.

I think the most important life lesson for us, especially in this day and age, is to remember that fear is our only true obstacle. We can do anything we want, but in order to do so, we must first be ready to set aside any hesitations.

you are 100% right about that. fear is the only thing is this world that keeps it the way it is. stuck in hate, greed, jealousy and all those things that keeps people hating and killing and not knowing true love

Well, I can think of a few actually. The first one is to always think positive about things. If you have a negative outlook then you will receive negative feedback in your life. This is so true. Ever since I started having a positive attitude about lots of important things, things have changed for the better in my life. Some aspects things still need to change, but for the most part my life has changed. The second is "the best way to predict the future is to create it". This one is about making your own future. If you want something, make it a reality to your life. Your furture isn't set, you can always change it for the better.

this phrase got stuck in my head "everything will be alright" and "what the eye denies the soul sees" . the latter , i heard david carraine said it on the tv series "kung fu". these phrases made so much impact in my life because i was a worrisome person and i need to be assured that all is well and that God do provide. i am not judgemental but the phrase i heard from kung fu struck me because i knew a lot of friends who are judgemental , one of the things i dislike.

Try not to worry about what other people think about you. Don't worry if you do not have any close friends in your real life. there is someone out there for everyone of us. you just have not met them yet. Never give up on your hopes and dreams. they are actually right around the corner if you keep on looking.

Love yourself..... Take stock in who you are. Behind the games, behind the masks, admit your faults to yourself, forgive yourself and begin to enjoy who you really are. If you find something within yourself you don't like, change it.... Become the best person you can be. That's one really good thing everyone can do for themselves.

My parents have always taught me not to care about what other people think. I think this is the best thing I have ever learned. Not very long ago after I had shaved my head, I went home for the first time since. My parents saw what I had done and they hated it!! My dad said to me, "Molly, you know I am going to tell you something. I know that you were raised not to care what other people think so what I'm going to say shouldn't matter to you. But you look ridiculous!" We just laughed because I didn't care what he thought! Another good one is from when I was little.. My brother was making fun of me. I think he called me stupid. I told my dad and he said, "are you stupid?" I said, "no." and he said, "well then what's the problem?" so to this day whenever someone says something mean about me I think of that and ask myself if it's true. If it's not, then I just blow it off :)

ha ha ha ha ha... the advise would be CMC square. Can Means Can. Cannot Means Cannot. Most of the time, when we are going thru life, we have to make a lot of decisions. To do something or not. To get something or not. To try something or not. And then we will sit on it and ponder and ponder and ponder. Till at some point, we would be so overwhelm with decisions that needs to be made, but none are made yet. Well, my motto is this, If it can be done, it will be done. If it cannot be done, it will never be accomplished. And then you will know whether to go ahead with the decision or not. So using the CMC square as a guide, it is possible to decide easily. Make the segregation of decisions so much easier. If you know for sure it cannot be done, don't waste time. Move on and get to the next decision or task.

ok the advice i had from my mother was when i was 17 yrs old my mother advised me to take care of friends i move around with , for me am not a bad girl i am a good friend but the reason why my mom is saying this is because when i go out she don't no the kind of friend i meet or talk to. because for now am a teenager and by all means guys are going to start saying love things to u, but for now we can see that love do not exist it is now lust. she told me and i have taken that very serious and it is really helping me , for me i have a lot of male friends but am very of them but having male friends help u to no more about them and also sharing ideas together.

The best advice someone gave me was to remind me that "there is no free lunch" long time ago. I don't expect to have anything handled to me that I didn't earn and that is something important to learn and remember. It makes life much easier and it avoids disappointment:)

Keep your eye on your own money; Look you could make a cool mill or a few G's, but STILL despite of it, control it, and control it well. If your married, yes put your money together and work your business right, but keep some to yourself in case something hit the fan(and it usually does). Save money and money will save you.

I have one... THINK WITH YOU HEART AND LOVE WITH YOU MIND. I think the equillibrium will keep you grounded. If we think with our heart, you will make a good judgment about things and not forget compassion. If you love using our mind, it will give us the freedom to see the negative and consider it and in that case we will never regret anything.
