The Best Advice You Ever Got

The best advice I ever got was from Bill Cosby on his t.v. show. He said to his son, "Never follow money instead of dreams." I think this advice is very applicable. Money won't make you happy. Some people think it does but it doesn't. They find out too late what I already know. Do what you love doing, and as long as you're not starving, that is fine.

My grandma always told me to live life to its fullest. This, I believe, is the best advice anyone has ever given me. We only get one chance to live, and if we waste it, then we waste it. We'll never get it back, so while we're here, we should enjoy life as much as possible.

The ebst advice I have ever gotten came from my Mom when I was very young. I remember her words and listen to them as well. She told me to always be sure I can take care of myself and my family financially, and not to rely on anyone else to do it because it can all be gone in the blink of an eye. Those words helped teach me to be the very independant woman I am today.

Most people give unwanted advise that completely puts you off.It is happening to me all the time.relatives, especially the elderly relatives advising me on what to do and what to wear etc; i, ofcourse do as i please.But some people have a way of telling things that make an impact on you.My granny was one such person.Once she told me never do anything about which you have reservations and doubts even if all others are coaxing you to do so...I feel it was a very wise advise.

I remember once when I was in high school a good advice that I he taken from my math teacher. I was doing good in school and in the same time I was "helping" other pupils with ther exams and homeworks. At that time I was helping and not waiting for someone to say thanks or even ask fo the help. My teacher said one time to me "Do not give help to someone unless they ask you to". I did not consider it first but now I am stick to that advice.

the best advice i ever got was be brave to decline other request. justify yourself. just say 'no' if you are really can't do it. do not accept the request just because you don't want to hurt others feeling. i you take the responsibility on doing something that you are not capable to handle, you will just suffer yourself. if worst, your action will also hurt others and affect their trust on you. so, just be realistic, measure your ability, and make the best decision on it.

Probably the best piece of advise I got was from my parents. They told my brothers and I that when we wanted to buy something that we would need to borrow money for to make sure the item was worth it. They were talking about big ticket items like a car or our homes. They said to save as much as we could and when we approached the bank for the loan to ask for a little bit more and to keep some of our savings aside. That way if something went wrong, we always had a litle bit of money to make the loan repayment and would not lose the car or house or whatever it was we had borrowed the money for. Also to make payments off the loan every time we got paid, as that would reduce the term of the loan and also enhance our credit rating. For example, my first loan was for a car and the repayments were to be made monthly but I was paid fortnightly. So every 2 weeks I would pay half of what the loan repayment was for the month which meant each year I paid 26 @ half which was 13 repayments. There are only 12 months in a year so by the end of the year I was at least 1 repayment ahead. That is just what I have done every time that I have had to borrow money for over 40 years now. The only difference now is that our mortgage is paid monthly so every fortnight when I am paid, we pay half the monthly mortgage repayment and put another 25% of the repayments into a special account. At the end of June every year we pay all of that extra money off our mortgage, except for the equivalent of 1 month's repayments. In 8 years we have reduced our laon by 10 years and saved thousands of $'s in interest.

The best advise I got was "And this too shall pass" Now that does not sound like much but at the time I needed that advise. I had hurt my back at work while doing CPR on a patient and was in the process of getting PT for it. Well I knew I was all better and cleaned my shower. Well you can see the writing on the shower wall. I was back not being able to walk up right once again. The massage therapist said "And this too shall pass and you will heal and be fine." She was so right.

I was offered advice throughout my whole life from when I was a toddler and even still now. Whether it be friends, co-workers, family, or even that occational stranger you bump into at a store giving their views on a product and giving their advice about it, etc... I was told many things when it came to advice like take care of your teeth when you're young or you'de better eat healthy or you will pay for it later, or don't smoke because it's bad and so on.. did I listen? NOPE! I was the same as you were when it came to using my defense and thinking that people were just idiots. Now I wished I did listen because I wouldn't be in the poor house and would be able to manage my finances better, eat well, and not smoke. I guess I was just curious and rebelious and had to learn my way which of course was the hard way. Have a great night and merry christmas

While i was reading the post i also could not make out the meaning of what your uncle told but when i reach the end where you clearified the meaning, I kind of impressed by what your uncle told and this is something that i also never realised. One should really not hold on to mistake rather should learn to from it

As said, advice is one thing you get free of cost and in huge number without asking for it. It is always easy to get advices on your life and everything but it is difficult to manage each of them. I think the best advice I got was to carefully listen to people and not interupt in between. Sometimes silence does wonders and it has done that with me. So be observant.

The best advice I got was from my mom. Don't ever be bother by your past. Our life is like a runaway Train. Its a one way trip. So don't be alarmed if your mistakes lead you one misery.Instead, stand straight and face the world with smile.

Advices helps us ease pain. I would never took advice out of my misery. And then I tried. Its the best relief I've ever had.

I dont remember every peace of advice people give me, but i remember only the ones i think i may need in the neer future. Not every peace of advice is right for me so I make sure i compare my style of life to the advice. I also try to make smart choises in my life because advice only makes you wiser.

The best advice I ever got was - when you are so down, there is no way but to go up. I encountered a lot of big problems that pinned me down. But that advice motivated me to go up and carry on. Life is really too short to waste. It should be enjoyed to the fullest.

A couple of weeks ago i went to a university conference and the people there seemed alot more posh. They seemed to always try showing off a vocabulary to make others feel stupid. When i sat with a group of girls..for the first time in my life i cut up a tortilla wrap and put pieces of chicken into smaller mouthfuls because i didn't feel right eating the way i normally do around those people. I tried to dull down my outfits to 'fit in' as it were and i hated it. When i went home i mentioned this to my mum and she said that you have to conform to society and then you can go home and criticise and be hateful about it... for some unknown reason i resented this (no distaste for fashion or anything, i just hate to feel like im controlled^^) My nan replied... be true to yourself, while you can change and dress differently to fit others, inside your the same person, the same humour, the same interests and dreams, why be ashamed to hide that if you're not hurting anyone by just being you? While i know it sounds weird that it come from eating BBQ chicken tortillas it was the best advice, because3 while you may think it you nevere truely feel it until someone points it out to you. It was the best advice i've ever been given.

I think that the best advice that you can get in life is along the lines of live life to the fullest or do what makes you happy. If you aren't happy then you're usually miserable and life is basically worthless and you don't really feel like living anymore. I remember my mom giving me that advice over and over again and I have followed that advice by staying true to myself and trying to do only what I think will fit me.

In the eighth grade I was on my school trip to Boston. Me and my friends were feeling awful about life and stuff... anyways, we were all crying and we decided we'd go to our teacher. He was the wisest person we knew and even now I believe he changed our lives. When we knocked on his door around midnight he answered and told us to stop being ridiculous. Looking back we were being particularly ridiculous but even now I live my life without being ridiculous. I stay level headed and deal with the things that come my way in a practical way.
