What is the best advice someone has ever given you?

My father gave me good advise at two vital moments in my life.First was in high school when i did well in all subjects but French.I was despondent. At that moment he told me failure was the stepping stone to success.I took his advise and well in the next exam.The second instance was when i was about to graduate, i felt i was not very bright and told my dad that i wouldn't be able to do well in the exams.He told me whatever my shortcomings be if one applies oneself and works hard good results are bound to follow.I followed him and did reasonably well in my exam.

I can't exactly point out the exact thing because I don't remember all of them. From this you might come to know that I was bombarded with all sorts of advices. It was as if I were preganat. As we know that pregnant women get all types of advices for free and from unwated persons too. It was the same with me. But what I specifically remember is that, from one SMS that I had got. Not one but three good things were mentioned in it. The first one was never take a decision when you are either too happy or too angry. That is because you are not your own self in such moments and it is wise not to promise something that which we cannot fulfil next. I think I learned a lot from such a small sentence.

hi rondita, i do not what the best advice i had ever taken, but i am a person that easy to listen to other's advice as what they said was right, and i like intelligent people to give me some advices about life. when i was in university, i would be if there was a good lecture, and i would feel so excited and freshed as hearing a professor's lesson.
