One word of advice to give to your children?

[Hunter65416]

Theoretically, If you were on your deathbed, what one piece of advice would you give to your offspring? Mine would probably be something boring (but important nonetheless) like 'for gods sake stay in school and do well'

 

[Calibanbutcher]

Be awesome

 

[Popadoo]

'A second spent being sad or upset is a second that could be spent being happy.'
We aren't going to be alive forever, and that makes our time precious. I don't see why you would want to spend some of that limited time being sad or upset when you could be happy!

 

[Esotera]

Don't make the same mistake twice. (assuming that we're going by one sentence, rather than one word)

Otherwise, I'd probably tell them to go for a job that pays well and they can enjoy/bear, and to spend enough time relaxing & generally doing nothing.

 

[Spambot 3000]

On my deathbed? 'Find the purple cheesestick before the tin man descends!'
And then I die. (the joke is that they never find out what the hell I'm talking about)

 

[DrRockor]

Don't change yourself for anyone because when you find the people that will accept and love the real you it won't be there any more.
You should also invest in apple, hipsters have lots of money

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Be careful what you're taking. I don't mind you taking certain drugs, just be sensible.

 

[Luftwaffles]

Always.

ALWAYS.

Blow on the pie.

[Jedoro]

Don't forget... to bring... a towel.

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

I thought this would literally be "One word" advice.
In which case my advice would be just "Don't"
--------------

If I had longer than that I suppose I'd say
"Always do your best"

 

[Lord Kloo]

Don't become... a... hipster

Then I'll die at the shock and horror of hearing the word on MY deathbed

"It's a cruel, nonsensical world out there; keep yourself above the mess. I'll... see you later. Don't keep me waiting, punks."

 

[King Billi]

Never let the bastards grind you down.

 

[RJ 17]

"Billy, there's three types of people in this world: those who can count, and those who can't."

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

"Don't make the same mistake I did. When you're on your own deathbed, make sure you prepared an inspirational quote for your children beforehand."

captcha: just dance. Sound advice captcha.

 

[Ljs1121]

If I wanted to be the cheesiest dying dad ever, then: "Don't let anyone discourage you. Follow your dreams and become the best you can be."

 

[Twilight_guy]

'Duck!' Oh wait, you mean an entire phrase, not just one word...

'pull my finger'

'Don't visit gaming forums, they're full of tools and idiots'

'When I was your age... I wasn't dead yet'

'Be sure to drink your Ovaltine!'

'I see a bright light! It's calling me... oh wait, that's the lamp'

'Never be serious when it's not necessary'

 

[In Search of Username]

'I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel.'

 

[Ruedyn]

"Death squads are actually dangerous. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES."
