What is the best piece of advice you ever got from your mother or father? (Or someone whose advice you value.)

Mine, from my mom, was this: Don't waste time worrying...little things are not important, and big things take care of themselves!





(I think the advice is sound, but I am a worrier by nature--I think it must be genetic!)What is the best piece of advice you ever got from your mother or father? (Or someone whose advice you value.)
i'm 15 before my dad died, he sat up in his hospital bed and said


you never no what life's gonna throw at you, you can be 8 or 48 and you'll never know. so take each day s it comes, try your best and roll with the punches





this basically taught me to be brave and optimistic which has helped me through a lot, including his death





a teacher told me once when i was getting bullied that it's better to be hated than ignored - so in other words if you've made an impact who cares, at least you've not wasted your life, you've made your markWhat is the best piece of advice you ever got from your mother or father?

My great grandmother is almost 90 now. My great granddad, her husband of 53 years just passed last year. When I asked what it was that made their relationship last so long she said to me:





';When it comes down to it, it's just not that serious';





And that's how I look at every problematic situation in my life.
everyone who shows up at the birth experiences something different.


i remember screaming and being sooo cold. my mom thought what a mother's day pain in the woo hoo. my dad was thinking, crap, one more mouth to feed! my brother was drooling and wondering what toys does he have to share/not share.....





in other words....dont think that what you experience/think/remember is what anyone else experiences/thinks about/ or remembers. what you take away from an experience in life is yours alone. same as a fingerprint. everyone is a miracle and has a destiny
This isn't from my parents but my best friend Val's step dad, ';No one is ever good enough for you. You just allow them to be in your life, not the other way around. When you find the right one you will know what I mean.';





He was right. When I met my husband, I knew what he meant. I still believe this even if my inlaws insist I am not good enough for my husband.
You are grounded! It may seem dumb but all those times I was grounded I look back and realize damn they were right I feel bad I put my parents through hell. The one thing I say to my son that my dad used to tell me is manners never go out of style.
Don't deal with it when it's not worth it





That applies to my friends, family and will when I get a career when I am old enough...
