Whats the most brilliant piece of advice someone has given you? Whats the worst one? Some wise man told me once, " If you one to be the best painter don't hang out with the house painters. Hang out with Picasso!". The worst was " Keep dreaming." Well didn't anybody ever knew that you must wake up too in order to make it real?

i came up with my own. i don't know why but i guess it was because i came up with this one when i was a teenager and we all know how teenagers feel down at times (they really, really feel down): nobody has any right to hurt you unless they've proven themselves in their own right. worst advice: true love finds you. am 34 years old now and i've realized and learned that true love finds you if you had found yourself first (and that means you have a sense of self that you take care of and make productive) .

There are so many famous quotations out there that speak to this topic. They all have their own merit. To be of value however we must make it ours.
While I am far from wise I have learned the following through life experience.
Each of us has been given the gift of life. While every human is impressionable and learn from those around us it is still up to us, and us alone, what we do with our God given talents.
Above all, fear of change limits us more than anything else. This is what "Keep Dreaming" refers to. We first must believe that we can do something before we ever will. We must see our self there and know at our soul that we can attain it.
We must envision it, we must plan for it, and we must follow through. If we fail to plan, we plan to fail. This is true no matter what your talent is.
It is true that no matter what we plan...life will get in the way, and will detour us. How we handle that, more than anything else, determines our destiny.
To lose the dream is the single most limiting thing that can ever happen to us.
