Friends, teachers, mentors and even parents are among the important people that can shape a person's life. Their love, support and encourage allows us all to be who we are today. What is the best advice you got and from whom?

The best advice I have ever got in my life was from a friend/classmate. That was two years ago. She said I shouldn't be too serious when it comes to boys while I was still a teenager. That's true, but back then, I just said "whateveerr".

I wont say its an advice that i got from my parents but a loving support and better understanding makes me how to keep up a good relationship with the people around me. It made me understand not only the people but how to behave with different personalities inorder to get success in life as they all are part of life.

The best advice I ever had was given by my Boss in a radio station. He told me that I need to finish my college course because it has a big difference if you a diploma as proof that you've finished college. He told me his story that he started or let's say that struggled as a janitor utility boy at the same time as a student. Yet he finished his study. He has a big dream that's why his status then, he was our over all station manager. I havent heard about him for 15 years now, but I want to thank him for that advise that impacted me to finished my degree.

The best advice I've ever been given was from my best friend. She told me that I should never change myself to make someone else like me. I realized this made a lot of sense; if I act differently than I normally would, and they like me for it, they don't actually like me. They like the lie that I am living, and cannot be counted as a true friend. There are people who like me for who I am, and they're the ones I should focus on. If someone doesn't like me, then that's their problem. You can see why she's my best friend.
