Best Advice You Ever Received (Or Have to Give)

[nikki1920]

Lol @ "Unofficial office spy", but that is SO true.

I concur with "be nice to the (seemingly) little people". You never know who they report to or where they will get promoted to.

Remember your manners. I work in Social Services and I like my job, but some of my clients are just NASTY for no reason. I can bend over backwards to help you out, but if you insist on being nasty, then I insist on going by the book.

Say your prayers every night.

Read your Bible/Koran/Torah/holy book everyday.

CALL YOUR MOTHER!!!

Take time to smell the roses.

If you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, be sure you can live with the decision you make.

If someone offers you gum, take it.

Don't ask for advice unless you REALLY want to hear it.

Three little words from my dad ... life goes on.

Things will get bad, and sometimes they'll get really bad. But no matter what, we can't eat, sleep, drink or smoke those problems away.

Don't have sex if you aren't ready to be a parent.

Expand your horizons; get to know others who are different from you.

Never Give Up.....Don't Ever Give Up!!!

This was from Coach Jimmy Valvano......

From my parents: You can do it as long as you put your mind to it

And from Mr. Tom Petty:
"You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does..."

True words...I have learned my lesson too many times. Sometimes it can be hard to give "tough love." But you have to know your limits...and realize you can't save the world by yourself.

another one i learned that came to mind...and this goes for parents, children, co workers, significant others...

if someone knows enough to ask, dont lie about it. they probably already know...

I tell this to folks all of the time.
It is what it is.

[Live_Wire17]

Keep it moving...

I say this to people who are determined to argue with me.
