What is the BEST advice your Mom or Dad ever gave you??

Hi Tallygirl,I love my parents who are always remind me when ever or wherever you don't afraid of anything,Once we are afraid we can not do any thing.boldness give success or good achievement. when ever I scared about problem I remember my parents automatically boldness will come..

Since my target is to work abroad and leave my family here in our home country, they told to be independent because i'll be on my own when i get to a foreign country. I have to do things on my own because lets just say that no one's gonna spoon feed me and help me when i get into some kind of trouble. I've always wanted to live alone so i'll know how to live my own life. Nothing's permanent in this world even my parents. Being dependent on them won't get me nowhere. So i guess that's the best advice given by my parents.

Parents advise us many things all the time and that is for good. My father used to suggest that if you do not do bad to anyone, definitely there will be good things for you. My mom always says that if you hurt others it will come back to you so never hurt. hurting others is hurting self and you should not hurt you in any way. I try to follow most of the things in my life and have been successful.

Every my advice given to me is the best!! Theres so manyy..

For me, it is to keep my feet on the ground especially when the time comes that I'm soaring high. Success is nothing if in the process, you forget where you come from and all the values you've learned during your humble beginnings. Another advise is to always show kindness to other people. Life is full of challenges as it is and it doesn't help if you also give everybody a hard time. :)

i thought my dad give me the best advice is "Grasp the nettle and it won't sting you."

If you choose a job that you love, you will never work a day in your life. Your Mom was a wise woman! The best advice I ever got from my Mom and Dad was finish school. Secondly, like your Dad saying slow and steady wins the race, my Dad tells me to stop when I am tired, while working hard, otherwise mistake may happen. Lastly another good word of advice is that it is okay to say no. Being true to yourself is definitely a number one! Never conform and fly your own flag is a good way to go, be yourself and enjoy! Thank you for this discussion. Cheers.

my mom and dad worry a lot about me.so they every time keep on giving me advices but most of the times its not right.the best advice so far they have given me is that i should not talk to strangers.i guess that advice is very true.and also the fact that respect your elders.but the best one has to be the stranger one.

The best advice that my parents gave me is "study hard so that you can earn a college degree". Having earned a degree would help you a lot in having a successful life or career. We do not have lots of money so sending me in school is the only thing they can afford for me.

This is a tough question for me because my parents used to advise me all the time. Let's see... my father once told me that I should strive to be the best that I can be in everything I do and that even if I turn out to be no good at what I'm trying to do, I shouldn't feel too bad because the important thing is that I tried. I think he's right because it's better if you try instead of not trying and then later on thinking of all the things that could have been if you had tried. It's also better to fail knowing that you tried than failing because you didn't try to do your best.

Since young, my parents have always stressed to me the importance of looking ahead, in other words, to plan and anticipate. This piece of advice has stuck with me since then. It is really very useful to me, and I am going to pass it down to my kids as well.

The advice that my parents, especially my mom would always remind us, is to never get married without a stable job. I know the essence of what she means and I really appreciate it. There are still other things that she would always tell us. I'm grateful that I have such wonderful, responsible and self-less parents.

Hi Like you my mum and dad have long since passed away, but what I am today I know I owe to them. Do you know that I don't think they ever gave me any actual verbal advice, but what I found was that to follow their shining examples was a really good way to live. I don't think that I could be as selfless as my mother was but I do try, and as for my dad - well there's NO ONE as good as Daddy ever, is there?? Nice question.
