Good advice

[Necrofudge]

(Search bar approved. Maybe)
What is the best advice someone has ever given you?
Mine would probably be from my brother, who told me "If you ever get into a fight, go for the kidneys so you don't mark up the face and leave evidence."
Most practical advice I've ever heard.

"Some girls just aren't worth it."- The only piece of honest, heart-to-heart advice my older brother ever gave me.

First off i've never fealt a kidney punch that actually hurt. Second dad always said, there is nothing wrong with drinking with friends and having fun but don't be a dumbass and stay away from dumbasses they'll get you in trouble. He then went of on a tangent about using condoms, a fight isn't a bad thing until someone pulls out a knife or gun because their ass is getting beat, don't drink and drive, etc... He likes going off on tangents.

From myself:
Shut the fuck up!

Yeah I'm not the most confident guy but it is pretty damn good advice... for me.

EDIT: I forgot someone else.
"Be confident if you want to meet girls."

... Yeeeaahh...

"Always, ALWAYS avoid looking girls in the eyes. They're Medusas, the whole lot of them." - Older friend.

"Don't be such an idiot." - My older brother.

It was actually good advice. :/

"Car!!!"

As I almost walked into the street and gotten killed.

but in serialness: "Get off your lazy ass and do that in real life" I was playing a sports game on a sunny day and my dad saw.

When somebody taught me how to break the collar bone, that will be useful somewhere in life even if I have to make it useful.

If you intend to get anywhere in life you can't ever give up

Something that's stuck in my head since I first heard it from my grandfather when I was 13 or so...not sure why he said it to me, and I'm not depressed or anything, but it's always seemed like a perfect piece of advice.

"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem"

 

[Good morning blues]

"Nobody will ever pay you for anything other than the responsibility you're willing to take on."

 

[ReincarnatedFTP]

"If life is meaningless, then its just more meaningless to quit than to carry on."

 

[Heart of Darkness]

"Speak softly, and carry a big stick."

"Nuclear fusion isn't user-friendly"

-My friend, Ryan.

 

[quiet_samurai]

"Kicking someone in the crotch isn't a dirty move if you're already on the ground."

Thanks dad.

How very Nietzche-esque of it.

"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem"

I think a Buddhist would tell you it's a temporary solution to a permanent problem.

OT: "Justin, don't go through life trying to find a woman that's not crazy. It's like trying to find a Unicorn, it doesn't exist, and even if it does there's like one, and you're not going to find it. Instead, try to find a woman whose type of crazy doesn't bother you. When you've found that, you've found your wife."
-My Dad, when I was about 15.

"Never trust anyone.
People will always lie to you, people are always trying to set you up, and most of all, people do not care about you.
They care only for themselves, and they will betray you. Maybe not at the first chance, but as soon as they stand to gain something.
Never trust anyone.
People only care for you as long as they stand to gain something from doing so.
The second you're no longer useful to them is the second you see who they really are.
Never trust anyone."
