BEST Advise that your family/friends/stranger gave you

That would be examples adults gave me since I was a kid, I used to observe people a lot and that helped me to not make their mistakes (but I made NEW ONES! lol). I don't believe in advice much, specially coming from those who are not a good example.

I take my advises from my father because he gets more experience in life mote then me.

So far, the best advice I've heard was from my uncle -- "Never hang out with a gossip teller". If the person tells you of other's flaws, chances are, they're also telling other people about your flaws/mistakes. Everyone has mistakes, it's just that we feel better hearing other's that's why it feels great hearing gossip. It's actually counter-productive if you ask me.

I always take advises from my mum. Mother knows best. She always reminds me the things i used to forget. She is my great adviser. And next is my best friend!

Me too, I am the counterpart of Oprah (feeling Oprah I mean). No one should press her/his thoughts to another, otherwise it will be called harrassment and not advise anymore. LOL. Then there is this statement, "Everything happens for a reason", yes that line has been said maybe for about thrillion times already in different languages and different situations. Though it the best advise that you just can't take, isn't it ironic, don't you think? Easily said and pass on to people, but in reality if something very unfortunate happens even the adviser questions, "why.. what is the reason, how could it happend?"

Agree, isn't it ironic. The best advise that you just can't take. Anyway kidding aside, therealmaryyy. Sometimes, people don't need advise, sometimes they just to vent out feelings and disappointments. Just needed to release pain and agony. They just need listener. and You are right no forces necessary. If you don't like then don't. LOL. You know what I like to say most of the time, but I dont like to hear. "Everything happens for a reason." It is a great soother statement, but really realistically speaking, if something unacceptable event happened, you will wonder why... what's the reason.
