The Best Advice You Ever Received.

[chinangel]

for me it's 'just be yourself'. That may not seem really important, but when you're a fifteen year old transsexual strugglign to find her identity and how to be the person she is...well it means the world.

What about you escapist?

"Never let the bastards grind you down."

 

[Alternative]

"Hopes and dreams arnt acceptable qualifications for a job"

 

[White Lightning]

The greatest advice ever... also a contender for the scariest.

 

[Al-Bundy-da-G]

"Invest in a wood chipper, bathtubs, and industrial strength lye."

Wise words grandpa, wise words...

The greatest advice ever... also a contender for the scariest.

Not as creepy, but still kind of funny hearing from Sonic.

And that's NO GOOD!

OT: "Writing is Rewriting" your first draft is not good enough.

also "remember the golden rule: he who has the gold, makes the rules. it's the only rule there is."

Pretty much when my aunt told me "always say excuse me whenever you burp". Yeah I burp alot as a kid and I guess that was one of the stepping stones that made me polite as a kid.

"Know when to fold 'em."

People fall victim to this "sunk cost fallacy" so often, after putting a lot of effort into something, they'll cling to it even if it's not going to work, feeling all their efforts where "wasted" and keep wasting them...

So really, I'll say, knowing when to fold 'em and walk away is one really important thing.

Advice to live your life by

"Don't put it in your mouth" seems like pretty solid stuff too

'Decide'

My dad told me that when I was approaching my university finals about 3 years ago. I wrote the word decision in my hand and every time I feel I have had enough, I take a look at my palm. Works wonders.

TLDW; religion is a non-issue. If god exists - cool. If he doesn't - cool. "The only '-ist' i am is a scientist"

really changed my perspective on life and living.

 

[Syzygy23]

"Shut your mouth, open your eyes."

Those words turned my life around, for the most part.

I went from being an obnoxious spineless twat, to an ANGRY, disgruntled prick.

Trust me on this one, it's a huge improvement.

 

[Pinkamena]

Do what you think is fun and interesting, and do not make important life decisions based on money.

[Roguelike]

"Calm the hell down."

 

[Sandernista]

"Shut up, listen, think.

Then when you can't think any more, then you can speak up."

If only more of the world operated on these maxims

 

[FEichinger]

"Everyone is an idiot. Get over it and stop listening to anyone."

Oh wait, that's my own philosophy, but it makes my answer to the thread quite redundant

 

[thesilentman]

"The world already has perfect things. Break them down and make them better! There will never be a thing called perfect unless we go on and change the world around us"

That would be my dad. Such an awesome guy.
