If there was One Piece of Advice or Pearl of Wisdom

[Koko]

That You Could Share With The Whole World or a 'Little One' as they begin Life's Great adventure......

What would It Be??

Not so much smartass one liners (well maybe) but something you think is relevant or could be to peoples lives.

The other day I read somewhere to live a life of contentment and show others how to:

Do Your Work / Job Like The Money Doesn't Matter
Dance Like No One Is watching
Love Like You've Never been Hurt.

Dare We Have The Courage.

[Alysoun]

A cultured pearl for the ladies on the list:

Something my mother always told me that has proved to be excellent advice:

Before you move in or get married be sure you know who you are and be able to support yourself financially.

Truly a very smart piece of advice!!

I think that could apply to guys too. It seems unfair how mothers always seem to win custody, then fathers have to pay maintenance and get to see the kids one day a week. Truly unfair.


My pieces of advice:

"Never draw for an inside straight (without 10.75-1 pot odds)."
"Always keep carm in a crisis." Or any other situation for that matter.
"Never base any decision on any supernatural force or feeling."
"There are more marks for woking out than the answer."
"Never smoke ciggies or drink alcohol."

[yesindeed]

Nothing is more important than your children. Wait until you can afford to devote the time that it will take to bring them up right before you allow yourself the indulgence.

...and a smartass one liner: Children are Gods birth control.

[illusion]

Genevive - it relates to maths exams. If a question is worth 3 marks, then you will still get two for using the correct method.

"The working out is worth more than the answer". I put "woking" before!

NICE ONE ROB!!......
Isn't it interesting you can meet someone who says they love you..and the first thing they try to do (whether consciously or Unintentionally) is change you...Been there. mmmmm.


A Little Gem of Wisdom (not knowledge!!...there is a difference)
that my dad gave me many years ago.....I'd been up more or less 3 days straight cramming for one of my final, finals...and was 'wired' and looking ill and ghostly...not that I could see it.....
Luckily I was home for a few days to get away from the pollution, chaos and noise of London....My Dear Old Dad (Bless Him!) walked into my room and handed me a 'cold one' (bottle of Lager)
I said I can't I need to stay focused...knowing full well that one could well lead to 5 or 10 more....I said 'I've got to get this down ..I've got to pass'

He took the pen out of my hand turned my chair and looked me right in the eyes....

'There's only One Thing you HAVE TO DO in this Life and
that's Die'.....The rest my Son is Up To You'...because when it comes to it (death)..... everything else is a whole big mountain of
inconsequentialities of NOTHING...
I sat for about 10 mintues with the lager in my hand..just travelling on his words.
I closed my books and downed the beer in one...then we had a few more...

He did also say ' BUT bearing this in mind...what ever choice/s you do make..you must be willing to take 100% responsibilty for your choices, words and actions or inactions'

I passed by the way...(not that it matters now....I'd happily swap my degrees etc to have him back in the world).

STOP! for just a moment

...I'm not trying to be clever clever here...I just think it's AMAZING!


The only thing that is constant is the unconstant and the only thing that is notconstant is the constantinconsistency of itself.

Peace of mind, heart,body & soul to you.

[WhiteKnight]

There's one main, broad thing I'd like to pass on to my children: respect your fellow earthlings.

No one is born to life with a user manual or ever gets to complete understanding of what life is. Whatever anyone does, s/he does because s/he doesn't know any better; our (in/)actions stem from the little facet of this life that we got to understand. If you think someone is wrong, think that s/he is probably just right from his/her facet viewpoint.

All we can do is extend our understanding, and the primary source of deeper understanding is learning from the differences between ourselves and the next human being out there.

I am an optimist, too: I think that's the direction the whole world is going. Of course there's plenty of barriers and cultural/political forces that fight counter, there's war and inequality and abuse all around us, but there's a chance to get rid of them in the long run if we understand that they all come from the same devilish "i am right; you are wrong - absolutely".

Honesty is in many cases the worst policy. (Please tell me that you didn't think the opposite was true)

[Altres]

Treat life as a holiday from death.

[Dances w/PURPLE]

Read auto/biographys. You can learn from other's mistakes.

Never shoot down someone else's dream.

From Daddy: Always leave a job on good terms. Don't get too personal with your boss or co-workers. Your personal life and your job should never mix.

From Mama: A bird never flew so high its (tale) tail didn't follow. "Remember dears as you pass by, as you are now so once was I, as I am now soon you will be, prepare yourself to follow me. ~ You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. ~Marry equal or marry up but never marry a fixer up.~ If a man cheats on his wife for you, he'll cheat on your for another ~ If you want to see how a man will treat you, watch how his daddy treats his mama.~
>>>And from all the women in my family!!! A man likes to come home to a clean house, clean children, and the smell of a home cooked meal.~ Be a lady in public and a tramp in the bedroom.

~Marry equal or marry up but never marry a fixer up.~

Pam, that's a very good pearl of wisdom...


Everything is always in flux. Everything is always changing. Life will be good and bad...when it's bad, you have the ability to remember when it was good. When life is good, appreciate it and don't take it for granted.

OMG, once upon a time, out to lunch with a saleman from where we both worked, I asked him out loud, "Where's the condom bar?" As he walked all the way to the back to sit down with our tray, he couldn't talk to me. As he turned around, I saw his face was all red and he was dying laughing. It still took him a few more minutes to tell me what I had done and why we were sitting all the way in the back. We didn't go there to eat for a long time.

"The captains of eternity knew the secret. You have to find your own way. No matter how scary it gets, or lonely, or baffling, or insane, you have to cut your own path. There is no shortcut to salvation. As soon as you butt in line with a bunch of other lazy and ignorant people and start following someone, it's over. There are as many roads to paradise as there are people on the planet. We're all captains of eternity, baby. F*ck the long lines." - Robert Sedlack

NEVER EVER post anything on the internet that you wouldn't mind everyone in the world reading, even in moderator space...

Be yourself, it's ok to be your best self, but if you fabricate, it will eventually catch-up to you. Dance your own dance, and revel in it, never copy without putting your source material in the index, so to speak.

Life is too short to fret (unless you are fretting on the neck of a guitar).

If you read a word in a book that you've never encountered before, look it up, write it on a slip of paper, put it in your pocket and refer to it a few times, use it a couple of times in your daily speech that day. This is how one enhances their verbal paintbox. Words are worlds.

Irony and satire are fun, and valid tools: Look to the work of Mark Twain, laugh your ass off, and emulate to taste. But never leave the irony hanging there at someone else's expence. Say something kind in the end, a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down!

Practice The Golden Rule: It's simple, and appears in the works of the Buddah as well. If you live accordingly, you will have many friends, and you will find love in this crazy world, I swear!

An elder Cherokee chief took his grandchildren into the forest and sat them down and said to them, "A fight is going on inside me. This is a terrible fight and it is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is the wolf of fear, anger, arrogance and greed. The other wolf is the wolf of courage, kindness, humility and love."

The children were very quiet and listening to their grandfather with both their ears. He then said to them, "This same fight between the two wolves that is going on inside of me is going on inside of you, and inside every person." They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked the chief, "Grandfather, which wolf will win the fight?"

He said quietly, "The one you feed."

Live so that your friends can defend you, but never have to.

Everything one says or does effects those around them. A person creates their own destiny and if it is by your hand alone that causes things to go awry in your life, then a person has no one else to blame but themselves.

The first step to self-awareness is being able to vocalize your feelings and thoughts honestly and openly. And even though they are your thoughts and feelings, just remember that no one can take them from you unless you allow them to do so.

When you speak from your heart, you can never go wrong.
