    Default What is some of the best advice you've been given?

    I know we all use some kind of guidance from others, be it a quote or saying or etc..

    Heres a example.

    Way back when i was going through relationship difficulties, someone on here sent me a message, it wasn't chastizing me or anything. All it said was "On the bad days just remember you love her.
    I was slow to take it as /advice/.
    but then
    I guess the worst advice is always the best advice.
    Cause the very next day i was in a argument, and that popped into my mind. Common sense most people can call it i suppose, but when you're in the heat of the moment you think very little for rationality in a argument.

    I was going to say something, but it came into my mind, and i stopped myself from arguing further, things went way smoother.
    Pretty amazing advice, that i will heed for the rest of my life actually.

    So how about you?

    Its so true.

    Ever see that graffiti on the internet that said "don't chase women, chase money. Because when you get the money, women chase you."

    It sounds stupid, but thats really the best advice I've ever heard.

    I take it for a slightly different meaning though. The btches part goes for men as well because some of them act like bcthes too

    keep your chin up

    Haven't been given any real advice afaik or I just forgot. But I doubt I would forget a good advice. Like V-Opolis said, figuring things out on my own.

    Any fool who says to "never give up" has never tried pushing a square through a circular hole.

    Without getting unnecessarily complicated and technical, the statement makes a lot of sense. Some things do require giving up as the only sensible option. One should not give up easily, but sometimes giving up is smarter than persisting.
