"Read more books without understanding is the disease of the scholars."
Before, I love reading very much. I read many kinds of book. But then, I even have not remembered them. I see that sentence as an advice of a scholars with me( Although I can't remember his name!). Up to now, this is the most valuable advice I've ever received.
How about you? Have you ever received valuable advice? What is the most valuable with you?

The best advice I have ever receive was that I should not stop believing that whatever I want, I can have it for as long as I have the perseverance. It is a journey, haven't gotten to that end , but I am all hopeful of making my dreams a reality in due time.

The best advice I received was from a teachers assistant I had in 8th grade. She told me "Follow your heart it will never lie to you, the tricky thing is to know when your brain is tricking you into following it instead of your heart."
It took me 10 more years to understand that. Your brain can get you into trouble. Your heart leads you to do what is right and leads you to love. The greatest emotion in the world.

Time and Tide waits for none! :)
but the best thing Ive learned is never to study at the last moment of the exams. Im too lazy and never open my books to study and always end up in getting less marks because of last minute preparation. but then too i wont learn.
some people are too hard to learn. hehe

People learn what they are interested in, what your problem maybe is you haven't found yet what it is your interested in, what your passionate about? Many people think because they don't have an interest in something that makes them lazy or stupid, but that is not the case, everyone is different, we all have different passions, we are all different and that is what makes the world a wonderful wonderful place. Now if we could get governments to stop fighting, repressing people, we might as a human race have a chance to really explore our universe, but we are too busy bickering, for real progress to be made. So sad. I hate to see anyone think they are lazy because they have different interest that don't sync up with the world of industry. Education is centered around industry.

"Love yourself, more that anything else".
It's the most precious advice I ever had. It's an advice from my best friend. I can still remember that I am crying as if I am dying when he told me those words. I am suffering from a heartache that moment. I even get mad at him when he told me that thinking that he do not understand me. I even didn't talk to him for a week. But I just realized one day that hes correct. I should indeed love myself more that anyone or anything else.
Hes not with me right now but were still best friends, and I will always treasure that advice from him.
