What piece of advice have you been given that has changed your life? And who gave you that advice?
I'd like to know what has influenced other people to become who they are.What piece of advice have you been given that has changed your life? And who gave you that advice?
I grew up in a horrible place and had the worst childhood. I was 17, a single mother and had just gotten my GED. I was talking to a casual friend, a older guy (probably 45 at the time) one night at a meeting and he asked me what I was going to do now that I had my GED. I hadn't thought about it. lol. I was just living day to day. And he said I should go to college. No one had ever said that to me before. I had honestly never considered it as a possibility. I asked him ';What would I take in college? How would I pay for it?'; And he said that I would figure both out if I made the committment. He was right. The next day I went to the college and started filling out paperwork. I got a BA in history - I have $30,000 in student loans. lol. But I make three times that a year. It was one of the greatest achievements in my life. I am the only person in my family to ever go to college.
You never know when you will be the spark in someone elses life.What piece of advice have you been given that has changed your life? And who gave you that advice?
good question, i think that the advice would have to be person spicific. i have tried to share with others my life changing events and they don't seem affected. maybe its my sales skills. whoknows.
but for me it was when someone addressed a problem i was having and made light of it saying maybe it was just something that i needed to learn from and continue on. i have a problem getting stuck on things and this cleared up my thinking and was refreshing. i didn't immediatly change my life but it was a turning point. that set me up for things to come.
Just do it %26lt;%26lt; my mom.
It gets easier %26lt;%26lt; my dad.
Those pieces of advice totally changed how I perceived things. It was like overnight I changed into a whole different person 'cos everything seemed to make sense. When you just take responsibility and do things life is so much easier. I think that's what my parents are talking about ^_^ I know my sister had trouble waking up in her teenage years for school and my dad would always tell her ';it gets easier'; once you wake up. That's so true.
My grandmother told me 'if you haven't got your health you haven't got anything'.
She told me this in her later years as her health was fading, but I understood what she was trying to tell me.
Basically the message was look after yourself now while you are young and while you have control over life and try and keep it that way.
Education is a light load to carry. Given by maternal grandfather.
Do your best and that is enough. Said by my dad around finals in college.
My high school guidance counselor, Ms. Holmes, told me ';you have to realize that everyone isn't as smart as you are.'; When she said that, I didn't know if it was a compliment or a slight. Not to be arrogant, but all my life people have told me I'm highly intelligent, and when I was a teenager I thought that was one of the main reasons for people misunderstanding or resenting me. Popularity was never my strong suit, and I used to think that I had to choose between being true to myself and being accepted. But now I realize that I don't need to change who I am to fit in, but just have a flexible persona. That really makes life a lot easier. And if I come across a young person who reminds me of myself at their age I will tell them what Ms. Holmes told me, and I will also tell them this: Simple thinkers understand simple ideas. Complex thinkers understand complex ideas. But to take complex ideas and make them simple is the mark of genius.
borrow money only to invest in something that promises to return more than the cost of the interest. Never borrow to spend on consumer goods that depreciate. pay cash for all such things even if you must drive a beat up old car.
I have lived cheap, made a lot of easy money and drove some pretty far out older cars that are fun and cool to own and never had a car payment.
Buy real estate on leverage with other peoples money and ret them out for the payment then sell when they appreciate.
This was in an old book by Napoleans Hill ';Think and Grow Rich'; Think positive and believe in yourself. It has paid off well.
also.... ';never pay retail';
do you know know easy it is to get a wholesale license?
get one.
buy for a dollar and sell for two. its that simple folks.
';Don't show your emotions, just have them.'; An acting teacher. Made me a much better actor.
';You can be whatever you want to be.'; My mom.
';You learn more from failure than from success.'; Keith Johnstone
The advice was intrinsic in that I wanted to better myself, and decided to pursue higher education!!!
';'Treat another person the way you would like to be treated.'; I do not know from whom or how.
Another is '; there is always 2 sides to every story';
Iam 57 years old and I still hate this,'; Prejudice';. I am not not talking about race. Iam talking about prejudging people before you know anything about them.
';If you want something form somebody, ask. The worst that they can say is no.'; -Grandma
';Money is only paper, you can always accumulate more.'; -Grandma. Growing up, my parents always lived outside of their means. It caused a lot of arguments and ultimately lead to my parents' divorce. As an adult I constantly worry about money and status. When my grandmother told me this, it made me realize that there are more important things to worry about, and material items are not that important.
the more you learn, the more humble you become. Wise men never speak unless spoken to.

I will be getting back into online gaming soon, but I want to be careful and have a normal life. Got advice?
When I get my new computer in about a month or two I'll be back to playing Warcraft 3, this time on high settings and with no lag whatsoever. I am not interested in playing role-playing games because I want to play games that shows my skill rather than--you know--life-sucking devotion.
I only want to play whenever there's lots of people online, and work or babysit most of the rest of the week. I want to maintain my responsibilities in real life so that people don't think I'm some weirdo (even though I always was).
Yeah... got any tips for me? How do you balance life and virtual reality?I will be getting back into online gaming soon, but I want to be careful and have a normal life. Got advice?

It's odd how some people consider screens an addiction.
I had the same problem, even though my problem consisted with xbox live and starcraft. The way I was able to balance my life out was to set a timer, Some days when I had something to do I would set the timer for an hour or two then get off. Other days when I was truly bored and had nothing to do I set my timer for four to five hours. It had taken me a while to get used to the fact that I had to limit myself, but it eventually payed off, and now I can do other things rather than sit in the house all day, and stare at a screen.face makeup

Can someone give me the best tips and advice in contact wearing for long healthy eye life?Also Pinching Techni?
Can someone give me the best tips and advice for long lasting eye life? Also is pinching technique safe to do to take off the contacts off your eyes?
Thank you :)Can someone give me the best tips and advice in contact wearing for long healthy eye life?Also Pinching Techni?
The most important thing to do is to follow the directions of your optometrist or ophthalmologist. When I got contacts, they stressed how important it was that I keep them clean - wash your hands before putting in your contacts. You can develop eye infections if you do not practice sanitary precautions when handling your contacts. It is also best not to sleep in your contacts, even if they are designed for extended wear. Your eyes need oxygen, and having contacts in all the time can harm them in the long run.
As far as the pinching technique, it's probably fine. I tend to use my finger to drag the lens off of my eye slowly, which doesn't hurt and doesn't tear the contact.

What advice and input would you offer President Obama as he enters what will be the toughest 4 yrs of his life?
Personally, I wish him well, good health, and protection from the anger of the world around him. I hope that he is gifted with insight and knowledge that will bring peace to America, both from within our borders and outside them, as well.
I hope and pray that he is given the strength to study any given situation that may beset him and choose the best option. Above all, may you and your family be safe and peaceful while doing your job.What advice and input would you offer President Obama as he enters what will be the toughest 4 yrs of his life?
I agree with you. I did not vote for him either nor can I stand his plans and policies that he campaigned for. BUT, I will put that aside and hope he does the best he can. My personal advice for him would be to seal the borders, do not gut the military, dont let my brothers and sisters who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan die in vain by pulling out, lets do it right. Forget about the myth of global warming, find and develop a way to use our most natural resource, coal, into cars buy not depending on foreign oil, continue to support Israel and most of all, love this country like you love your kids. God bless you and good luck.What advice and input would you offer President Obama as he enters what will be the toughest 4 yrs of his life?
yeah i never much liked him....well i still don't him but i respect him and that's what matters. advise? hire McCain as a consultant and stair clear of the media (their the ones that gave Bush so much crap he didn't need) actually since bush did a great job but got slammed maybe Obama should do a crappy job on purpose and the media will exult him like a god. just a thought lol
Wage a campaign of terror against all hate groups such as the Aryan Brotherhood, neo-nazis etc. Also seal the f*cking borders, make it a captial crime to sneak across the border.
To stop the campaign slogans and actually do the job.
AMEN to that
I wonder if you prayed the same ';prayer'; for the other presidents, especially President Bush. If not what a joke!
looks like you covered it pretty good

What ';life'; advice would you give someone in his early 20s?
based on your experiences..What ';life'; advice would you give someone in his early 20s?
Don't screw up your credit! Be sure to not miss any payments.
Oh, try to save 10% of everything you make.
Being financially stable is very important throughout your adulthood.What ';life'; advice would you give someone in his early 20s?
Save some money. You have lots to look forward to. It's ok to not know ';what you want to be when you grow up'; and it's ok to have several different careers. Nothing all that great happens at bars. Volunteering is great. Keep a journal. Life happens fast - don't forget to enjoy it.
You need a credit card to establish credit. But don't think of it as ';free money';...use it unwisely, and you'll pay for it for the rest of your life! Never buy anything with a credit card that you didn't have the cash to buy!
Don't be afraid to take a job at the bottom of the totem pole, you never know where it could take you.
';Plastic';
do not have any kids untill your sure!
Nothing...because i ain't 20. Im 16
i always say ';think about how much things change. think about how different you are from when you were16 to now. how many of your ideas have changed, values, goals etc. now can you imagine how the next ten years are gonna be? you learn even more from 20-30, from 30-40 etc'; you can never say never and do anything based on that cause it will probably turn around and bite you in the butt later';
I just turned 20, and all I can urge you to do is just read your bible and Love Jesus Christ with all of your heart. Because He will take care of EVERYTHING.
Never, EVER get a credit card. If you have to, only charge what you can pay immediately.
Also, don't let your friends know when you have an open bar tab ;-)
have fun! being young only lasts for so long and you wont be young much longer. get schooling out of the way find a good job and have fun with life! cherish those you love

What advice do you have to help me face my new life?
I've recently become homeless. I feel I've lost my whole world. I find it hard to face the future. I've rediscovered my relationship with God which helps. But I still get really depressed.What advice do you have to help me face my new life?
first of all keep your head up. ive been through homelessness on and off for four years and im finally self-supporting and pretty happy. i dont know if your situation is drug or alcohol related (as mine was) but the best thing you can do is stay sober, stay positive, and find someone to talk who has been through the same. i promise you if you make the effort (hard as it may be) you WILL get through this. tell yourself that when you get low. keep praying and think about what steps you can take to get back on your feet. take care of yourself, you will be in my prayers.What advice do you have to help me face my new life?
roll up your sleeves,get busy and get back on the right track..your faith will help you along the way,good luck,stay on the good path.-
you are homeless and have a computer,i doubt the validity of your question.
Desire to have a home. Before going to sleep-picture out yourself in a your dream house. When waking-up, imagine this things again. You will achieve whatever you desire if you are positive in life. I believe you can have a home again. Your dream home. Erase negatives thoughts. Fight negative thoughts. You can do it. Good luck.
Go to the Library...and read the book...';Conversations With God'; by Neale Donald Walsh...he was homeless too for awhile. And you will see how God works in our lives. He is always with you, and this part of your life was PLANNED....go read it, you'll be glad you did.
find a good paying job, try to take a shower as often as possible and do your best to get back on your feet. My boyfriend was homeless for a little over a year before I meet him and he mad it through it some how. Just don't give up. good luck.
Well, from the way you write alone, it seems you're a very intelligent and eloquent person with computer skills. I'm sorry things have become hard for you. But I'm glad you've found great hope in God's company.
I work with teenagers in difficult situations, some who deal with homelessness. I've become amazed as to how many local resources there are to help people bounce back. Search the internet (google resource lists for your area) or better yet your library should have a thick book with all that info (ask the information desk).
If you feel lonely, think of this as a time to work on yourself, learn a new skill, read, etc. so when interesting people or opportunities come along, you can take pride in yourself.
Well, it's a good sign that you're homeless and have been able to keep your computer and internet access. Must be hard to get a place to plug it in. Good luck in the future. Perhaps you can sign up for DSL soon.
Your homeless but have the internet???
o.k.well that is great that you have discovered god though:)
Keep your faith with Jesus and it will all work out I promise.

I am seriously comtemplating switching to a MAC. I have been using a PC for my whole life. I would like advice
Have any of you switched, and are you happy about it? How long did it take you to learn the transition? It seems I finally know my way around the pc, and it scares me to have to learn all over. But most days I want to take a sledgehammer to my pc , when it freezes up, etc. I'm wondering if I can transfer all the tags on my photoshop pics, as I have spent a great deal of time tagging them, and would hate to start over. Any opinions out there?I am seriously comtemplating switching to a MAC. I have been using a PC for my whole life. I would like advice
Switching PC operating systems will always take time to get accustumed to the ins and outs. The biggest problem you'll encounter with the MAC operating system is software or hardware compatability.(the programs or hardware you have now will not run on a MAC) and you'll have to purchase new software and hardware exclusively for the MAC os your using .(video cards, sound cards.printers scanners,camers,modems routers etc... This results in less freezing as software and hardware conflicts are the culprit.(thats the problem your having now) So its not just picture tags but everything you have:knowledge ,software and hardware, you'll be changing.Research your software and hardware BEFORE you change operating systems. You may not like what you find.I am seriously comtemplating switching to a MAC. I have been using a PC for my whole life. I would like advice
I made the switch and am glad I did. I just like OS X better. I have been a computer support tech for over 15 years now and am pretty good at just playing around and finding how things work so the switch was not hard for me. I can't say weather it will or will not be for you. As far as Photoshop, I don't know what tagging means but there is Photoshop for the MAC and you can just bring the files over and work on them, nothing should change. Hope this helps. Send me an email if ya want to know more.
When I first got my Mac, it was so easy to use, and it took me less than a day to figure it out. And if you get Photoshop for Mac, and transfer over all your files in their Photoshop format, then yes, your tags should still be there. I am extremely happy about the switch, and will probably never go back! Contrary to popular belief, Macs are great for gaming! (Aside from the low-end Mac Mini and MacBook) So long as you download Boot Camp for free, and install Windows (Which will run you $120-200) you can still have a PC to install games, Windows-only applications, etc!
they' ll charge u extra for all this crap and if u wanna use files between and PC and a mac it may be hard to do considering the different configurationsface makeup
Switching PC operating systems will always take time to get accustumed to the ins and outs. The biggest problem you'll encounter with the MAC operating system is software or hardware compatability.(the programs or hardware you have now will not run on a MAC) and you'll have to purchase new software and hardware exclusively for the MAC os your using .(video cards, sound cards.printers scanners,camers,modems routers etc... This results in less freezing as software and hardware conflicts are the culprit.(thats the problem your having now) So its not just picture tags but everything you have:knowledge ,software and hardware, you'll be changing.Research your software and hardware BEFORE you change operating systems. You may not like what you find.I am seriously comtemplating switching to a MAC. I have been using a PC for my whole life. I would like advice
I made the switch and am glad I did. I just like OS X better. I have been a computer support tech for over 15 years now and am pretty good at just playing around and finding how things work so the switch was not hard for me. I can't say weather it will or will not be for you. As far as Photoshop, I don't know what tagging means but there is Photoshop for the MAC and you can just bring the files over and work on them, nothing should change. Hope this helps. Send me an email if ya want to know more.
When I first got my Mac, it was so easy to use, and it took me less than a day to figure it out.

I need to get my life in order, and advice?
I'm 17 and will be graduating from highschool this year. I am taking a year off before going to college simply because I'm not ready to make such a big decision yet. While I am off for a year I plan to get my lifeguarding license, volunteer around locally just to gain experience, and work a part time or perhaps even full time job. I am also considering getting a scuba license.
And I have some future goals I want to achieve. I want to work on a cruise ship for a little while as an activities director or something. I know it's hard work but I think it will be very rewarding for me. I also want to join the peace corps at some point in my life. The thing is, I am kinda shy and reserved.. I don't want to live my life like this. I want to be outgoing, happy, travel the world and meet new people. How can I become more of a people person?
I am also not sure how to organize all this. Should I go to school before doing those two things I mentioned above? If so, what should I go for?I need to get my life in order, and advice?
A college course in Social Sciences would be a good start. However, being a shy reserved personality isn't a bad thing. Once you have found what your Passion is, your shyness will diminish, and your growing confidence will fuel your desire to succeed in what gives you personal satisfaction. Happiness is a reward that comes from doing what you do BEST. What do you do Very Well? The answer to this is a great start. All the Best in your efforts, Doll!I need to get my life in order, and advice?
talk to god..am serious he'll guide u thru anything
I am still in school, but my favorite teacher always says, ';Smart people don't know the answers, they know where to find the answers.'; I think that you should try to do some community service that works with all types of ages and see what age you like the best. Then you can go from there and see what jobs you can get with those ages. Those jobs that you mentioned are good jobs, but most of them need patients, and that is a virtue that you need to strive to get.
Those are admirable goals, but once you are out of school, it is very hard to go back. I would suggest taking core courses at a local community college. They might also help you more clearly define your goals, plus you could get a lot of basics of a college education out of the way. I wish you the best.

When it happened to me at 24 years, I spent some time getting my true self back. I did everything I'd wanted to do but couldn't- I painted my house the colors I wanted instead of boring neutrals, I read for hours without feeling rude, I cooked only what/when I wanted, I left the TV off for days at a time (unheard of when he was there!) and I even chose the type of Christmas tree I loved instead of bowing to his wishes. In short, I was 100% selfish, and it felt GREAT.
Have fun, sometimes being set free is the greatest gift you can get!What advice would you all give a women that is starting her life all over?

How can I improve my life? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
Hi everyone,
What do you think about my life? How can I improve it? (Sorry for the poor grammar--English is my second language.)
I am 22 years old. I am a lower middle class. I am a virgin. I am a good person. I am studying full-time (last year in a Master's program) I am working two part-time jobs. I want to save my money ;therefore, I have no cars, no phones, and living in a little room. I hardly have a social life because I am spending my time working and studying.
Sometimes, I am proud of myself because I will have my master's without debts or student loans. Sometimes, I feel so discourage and down to see other people my age have fun and enjoy life while I have to work so hard.
What do you think? Please advice. Thank you so much for your kindness.How can I improve my life? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
You have discovered the joy of delayed gratification.
Once you have your masters, no one can take your education away from you. No one can take away what is going to open up to you when you graduate. You are one year away from all sorts of new opportunities and having the life that you had dreamed about and worked towards.
Your life will improve when you stop perceiving it as being anything but desirable. You want to be like them. Three quarters of the world want to be like you -- a debt free education and a master's degree. More than 80% of the world never even see the hallways of a college or university.
Don't feel sorrow for your situation. You have the ideal situation by most standards.How can I improve my life? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
Find more balance to your life. I believe that what you are trying to do is admirable, but I also believe that you're going way too fast. Many people your age have just finished up their Bachelor's degree. School and work are not the only things to life, there is also social aspects (there are so many things to do, and I don't mean just the stupid college kid things like drinking, but live music and art and museums and coffee houses and parks and barnes and nobel's on a saturday afternoon withOUT studying), relationships - friendships and romantic (dating, not just serious), and relaxation. Honestly, how much time do you spend just doing nothing? Are you okay with being you, all by yourself, with nothing to do? From experience, its a hard place to be, especially if you've never done it.
Good luck.
I think for one thing the link below is something that can keep you focused
darn, link is now dead but it said ';Benefits of delayed gratification'; and was a villa on the ocean somewhere with several very nice automobiles outside of it
I would say ';stick it out';, stay on your present course. Once you get to the end, it will have been worth it In the mean time answer a few questions on yahoo as a temporay escape from your demanding routine, Also, kind of keep on the look out for someone that has a simular schedule as yours, You could like get together once a week and do whatever. But don't intentionally spend your time trying to find someone. YOU DON'T HAVE TIME!
The first thing I would suggest is that you don't classify
yourself as ';lower middle class';...that alone will keep
you in a rut no matter how many degrees you might have.
Secondly, look around and try and share a house with a lot of
others...they have cars and phones you can borrow..
and there will be lots of people coming in and out that
you can interact with. Also, try and set aside at least
a few hours a week for fun. Go to the local club and
dance your pants off for a couple of hours to some
really loud rock. You don't need a date..just get out
there and shake it out...even if you're shy...no one
will notice and you'll feel great...and come back with
renewed energy. You need to feed your soul on some
level anyway each day. Rock, meditation, playing with
animals...something away from your intense schedule
or you'll end up resenting the pace and the work. You're
doing a fantastic thing with your studying but the teeter
totter needs to be balanced to work properly. Bon chance.
you are still young and there is so much life yet for you to enjoy. once you make it you can use that money to do far more than what some may never see or do. Im going through the same, never give up!
The simple answer is to define your personal happiness. Your dilemma seems to revolve around your interpretation of the value of material things versus the internal qualities that you hold dear (owing things and having fun vs. perseverance, frugality, and hard work). To me, it sounds like you need to find a balance between these two needs.
I would try to accept the basic principle that you can never be perfect. Instead you can try to strive to do your best, rely upon your personal moral compass as your guide, and trust your instincts. Everything will work out fine.
Milk and Cookies. I found that when I was in school and doing my homework...I would get frustrated if I was sitting too long with my face in my books, reading, writing, doing essays, or studying for exams. I discovered that the quality of my work improved when I paid attention to my body signals [I'm too tired, or I was hungry]...so I would have a snack, like milk and cookies,...and relax in front of the t.v. for an hour, or call a friend, or go outside and play tennis for an hour and a half...and then resume to my studies. Your mind and body need periods of relaxation in order to function better. Good luck and God Bless.
You shoudl be pround! Good for you, studying and working so hard. Been there, done that, your reward is coming. For now, get some relaxation when you can. Walk in the park, talk to a friend. Going out is good but you can do that when the hard part is over. And you'll be in a better position to really enjoy yourself.
im only in highschool, but what you are doing is the typical life of a normal person. Jesus can improve your life so much. you should get to know Him more. He will be your joy and comfort. this may sound dorky to you if you are not christian. but believe me, Jesus can brighten the rest of your days. He's always there when you need Him. :)
Stick with it. Eventualy you will graduate and you can get a good job. Then you can be the one enjoying your life. Hehehe, then you can go on nice vacations to places like Greece.
But honestly, I think you should try to have atleast some fun time. Donate atleast 15 mins to do whatever you want, to have fun. Maybe get a hobby. Find something that you will look forward to doing everyday.
Also try to enjoy EVERY little thing that you do. Don't walk just to get from one place to another, ENJOY the walk.

Why do people want advice from complete strangers about intimate issues involving their personal life?
Even if you're a school-age kid, and you come on here...at least have the sense to go to people you trust (friends, counselors, parents) when it comes to your personal problems! This is NOT a good place to do it. I can see asking for information on ';things'; (cars, financial concerns, college choices, music, etc.), but really...pouring out your heart to no one in particular is just sad...not to mention unhealthy.Why do people want advice from complete strangers about intimate issues involving their personal life?
Sometimes it's a good thing to get an objective opinion from a completely different viewpoint......which is only possible because a stranger has no emotional ties to the person, and therefore does not try to come up with a solution that the first person ';wants to hear';.
A stranger can work with the facts rather than the emotions.Why do people want advice from complete strangers about intimate issues involving their personal life?
This is actually an excellent forum to get ';preliminary'; information before going to another source. For example, you might be intimidated to go to your parents or a counselor so you test the water here, first. Sometimes a little encouragement - especially from total strangers - will give you the courage you need to confront the issue you came here to ask about. Sometimes people come here just to find out if what they are thinking or feeling is ';normal.'; And some people are simply lonely and need a place to vent. I don't see anything unhealthy about the practice unless you use this forum as a crutch to keep from actually addressing what is bugging you.
Sometimes people NEED an outsiders perspective.
If you ask a person who is too involved they generally can't give you a different opinion. It's nice to have multiple view points so that you can make an education decision. You know, someone from the ';outside looking in';.
Also, many children feel that there so-called ';trusted'; family or friends will be hurt or make judgments based on preconceived notions rather than genuine advice. Not to mention they're afraid they'll get into trouble.
Having somewhere to discuss openly, without judgment and receive unbiased opinions is a great resource. Strangers are far more honest than people who know you who may sugar coat things or try to cater to what they think you want to hear.
Asking here offers a slew of opinions and ideas that perhaps you hadn't thought of. There are people on here who have experience which may not be available freely or quickly in person.
With that said, there are certain things which are asked which should be taken care of with a professional. Generally these questions seem to be in the health related areas. :)
Not sad or unhealthy at all; it is because of the anonymity that people come here to ask questions they are afraid or uncomfortable to ask face to face. And it is a great place to do it; if you feel that strongly about it, why are you even here? To pass judgment on what people should and should not do? Save your censorious attitude for someone who actually gives a damn.
Hi, I'm a parent of two and you make a valid point.
In *some* cases I can see how an anonymous stranger might be more honest %26amp; objective than a family member. And have certain relevant expertise.
Some of the questions here are people being facetious, asking outrageous questions just to see what kind of goofy responses they get. And some are people just venting. --Jeff in Houston, Texas
Sometimes an outsider just sees more of the game.
I don't ask about my personal life but maybe they feel that strangers will be more honest then people they know.
Sometimes you need an opinion that's outside the box. Someone not in your circle.
because they wont %26amp; cant judge

What's the best damn advice you've ever gotten in your life?
Basically I'd like to know what was the most poigant, life-alterating, true to the core advice that you ever got or lessons that you've learned?What's the best damn advice you've ever gotten in your life?
Always take half a second to think before you say anything - this has saved my bacon on numerous occasions!!!What's the best damn advice you've ever gotten in your life?
';pick your battles';
works for a happy marriage, works for being in the military, works for just about everything.
The best advice I've ever received is to 'take the long view'. It's very easy to get caught up in thinking that a problem or situation will last forever, but it won't. Just keep moving forward. The saying, 'This too will pass' is very important to keep in mind.
believe in the one God, never let it go away. it will benefit you in this life and after.
Don't sweat the small stuff.
and most of what you are worrying about is small stuff.
Look up the four fold way. it has only 4 or 5 rules that can change your life. Something like:
show up
pay attention
tell the truth
be open to outcome
but not dependent on it.
read the Tao te ching
Don't. Regret. Anything.
You cannot change the past, so why bother regretting it? You have done what you've done, %26amp; if you hadn't maybe things would be different, maybe you would. But i assure you they if something about whatever happened that has made you better, made your situations different - but in a positive way. Sometimes it seems there is absolutely nothing good, no silver lining. But i'm sure there is!!!!! Positive!
Not regretting things has made me a much happier, relaxed person. Now i live for the day, the moment. No need to dwell.
I don't regret a single thing i have done, no matter how bad.
When I graduated, I received some medals and I walked down the aisle holding them to my chest to keep them from clinking together because the sound was a little annoying. When I shook the hand of the dean of the college, he whispered to me ';You've accomplished a lot. Let the music ring.';
I've always been a fan of modesty, but as I thought about those words, I realized that there's a time and a place to take pride in your accomplishments, and I've tried to find a way to find something to be proud of every day, small or big. Some days, it's tough, but I manage. It keeps you going when things get rough.
Be selfdependent... Never depend on someone else coz oneday. maybe tomorrow maybe in 30 years u wont be able to.
Eat your betting money but never bet your eating money.
Two:
- Never focus on what you lost, focus on what youve gained
-Assholes get what they want now, nice guys get what they want later.
hahahah the 1st answerer says ';selfdependent';..dude...it's independent. anyhow, yes, independence was a key one for me. so was being told to ';get over it %26amp; move on';. basically, things didnt work out the way i planned %26amp; i kept dwelling on it, until my mum told me bluntly she was getting sick %26amp; tired of my whinging %26amp; that i need to freakin get over it, which i finally have. it's so much easier living w/o baggage
The magic word is attitude! Have a positive attitude and people will reflect positively back upon. Conversely if you have a negative attitude people will look negatively at you.
Shut up and listen.
Stand your ground if it is worth it. Concede to the other if it isn't.
Be careful of what you do and say because bad things have a way of coming back to bite you later.
Be honest and don't have secrets. That way nothing will ever be held against you for a ransom and the truth is so much easier to remember.
You can only be afraid of what has not come to pass. Get it over with and you will no longer fear it.
Always take half a second to think before you say anything - this has saved my bacon on numerous occasions!!!What's the best damn advice you've ever gotten in your life?
';pick your battles';
works for a happy marriage, works for being in the military, works for just about everything.
The best advice I've ever received is to 'take the long view'. It's very easy to get caught up in thinking that a problem or situation will last forever, but it won't. Just keep moving forward. The saying, 'This too will pass' is very important to keep in mind.
believe in the one God, never let it go away. it will benefit you in this life and after.
Don't sweat the small stuff.
and most of what you are worrying about is small stuff.
Look up the four fold way. it has only 4 or 5 rules that can change your life. Something like:
show up
pay attention
tell the truth
be open to outcome
but not dependent on it.
read the Tao te ching
Don't. Regret. Anything.
You cannot change the past, so why bother regretting it? You have done what you've done, %26amp; if you hadn't maybe things would be different, maybe you would. But i assure you they if something about whatever happened that has made you better, made your situations different - but in a positive way. Sometimes it seems there is absolutely nothing good, no silver lining. But i'm sure there is!!!!! Positive!

What advice do you all have on general things to remember to do to stay out of trouble in life?
For example, change the battery in your smoke detector once a year, or clean the lint trap in your dryer or check your credit score etc. I'm creating a sort of manual to give to my son to help him out there in the real world. I know there are thousands of advice tips and I want to cover as many as possible. Thanks.What advice do you all have on general things to remember to do to stay out of trouble in life?
I wish someone would have made me a Life's Little Instruction Book before I reached the cruel reality of adulthood.
Here are some of the things I had to learn the hard way:
Clean your gutters once a year after all of the leaves have fallen from the trees
Clean the coils on the fridge once a month
Shop and price comparision shop for all insurances in the month before the premiums are due - you usually get a discount for having your home and autos insured by the same company
Tune your car up and change the oil - now they are recommending every 3,000 miles
Pay attention to the idiot lights that come on the car's dashboard
Have your chimney cleaned professionally if you burn wood in the fireplace, once a year or after every cord of wood (I had a fire)
Sharpen and tune up your lawn mower at the start of the mowing season
Use the right tool for a job (a screw driver is NOT a pry bar)
Drain your hot water heater once a year to remove mineral deposits from the elements and make it last longer
Clean out the fridge and freezer once a month
Keep all of the receipts, instruction manuals and warranty information for small %26amp; large appliances, yard tools and major purchased together in a binder or file for easy access and troubleshooting
Take the filters off of the faucets every quarter and empty the debris and deposits for better flow
Clean the traps in bathroom sinks removing the hair and soap scum to keep drains flowing freely
Run vinegar through the coffee maker and steam iron once a month to clean and remove hard water deposits
Balance your checkbook when the statements come
Have a regular savings plan and pay yourself first
Learn to say NO when you need to so that you don't over commit yourself and take care of yourself first because you are no good to any one else if you are not healthy
Life has priorities, like food %26amp; shelter, decide what yours are and make certain that you always have those provided for above all else
Be a good citizen to the world, reduce, reuse and recycle where ever you can
Always be true to yourself and trust your intuitionWhat advice do you all have on general things to remember to do to stay out of trouble in life?
Respect people, but if somebody does not respect you, then they are not deserving of your respect.
If you mess it up, clean it up.
if you take it, put it back.
if you break it, fix or replace it.
Take responsibility for your actions, even if you now see the error of your ways. There are infinite things to blame for your problems, but it ultimately boils down to personal responsibility. You are in charge of your own life.
Learn from your mistakes, but more importantly, learn from the mistakes of others.
these are more 'life lessons' than tips i guess...but they will help to stay out of trouble.

also, one thing that my dad told me that has stuck with me my whole life, applies especially to driving and todays fast paced world:
';It's better to waste a second of your life, than to waste your life in a second';
applies to many situations, but it always flashes through my brain when i am about to make a dangerous turn into busy traffic...
Be aware and take your time, so you don't burn the house down so you wont need a smoke detector. Don't use credit unless you have to and then pay it off immidiatly! Dry your clothes at a laundrette or on a cloths line...it saves energy and the planet. The ';real world'; is changing. Dont change for it because youll never figure it out. And a woman is different than a man that they have different roles to play in the world, so don't compare the two as one in the same...thats very important.
never eat yellow snow?
LOL, just kidding. How about paying by direct debit for any household bills so that you don't forget about them and get cut off (or whatever the equivalent is of direct debit where you live)
Also, keeping the central heating on for just half an hour each day during winter when he's away to keep the pump running.
Tell him not to turn off his fridge when he goes away either (as it'll just grow green mould!

What's your advice for success in life in general?
I'd like to hear whats your very own personal secret to success.What's your advice for success in life in general?
Follow the Golden Rule and ';Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.';
Be kind to everyone...especially the young, the old and animals. I believe God will judge us based on how we treated the least among us.
Be honest. The truth is never as bad as the lie...never. Dishonesty breeds dishonesty...and lies become like snowballs rolling downhill.
Make time for your family, no matter how ';grown'; you get.
Keep a few good friends...they'll be honest with you and help keep you grounded.
Work hard at whatever your job is. If you're a ditch digger...dig the best ditches anyone has ever seen. If you're a doctor...be the most attentive, caring, knowledgeable doctor you can be.
Listen to music every day. It lifts your spirits...soothes your aching heart...and just generally makes every day a little more enjoyable.
Volunteer. Do something for someone who has less than you. It will make you feel good...because you have helped...and it will give you a sense of ';There but for the grace of God go I.';...which we all need.
Play. No matter how old you get...play. Play cards...go bowling...wrestle with your spouse/gf/bf/kids...play board games...play charades...just play. It keeps you feeling young.
Always...ALWAYS...tell the people that you love that you love them. Never risk a person leaving this world without knowing that your world was a better place for having known them.
Say please and thank you. Manners matter.What's your advice for success in life in general?
it depends on your definition of success. if it means making lots of money then my advice would be to do nothing but work. but on your deathbed you may be like ';what was the point? i have money, what has that done for me?'; if success is to be happy, then don't conform and do what other people tell you to do. do what you want to do. think for yourself. that's the only way to be happy.
Success is not always about money, fame, or wealth. it's about living your life in your own way and be the best person you can be for those you love.
Get interested in lots of things and choose from among things that interest you the few that you are best at doing. That way you will both succeed and find that you are not working.
Remember the importance of family and you will not fail to succeed in life.
There are two kinds if people who won't amount to much: those who cannot do what they are told, and those who can do nothing but.
like attracts like so be positive if you wanna be successful.
Be quick to forgive and know when you need to ask for forgiveness.

What is the cause of exaggeration in life (what books or advice would you have for striving to live moderate)?
I'm referring to things like eating, sex, gaming or any activity that i enjoy and i feel that i take it too far to a point where i feel like its a vice What is the cause of exaggeration in life (what books or advice would you have for striving to live moderate)?
The middle path in life is to do all these acts in a moderate, middle way - so you don't be too excessive in them acts, and that you do enjoy them - in the permissible ways also. You need to do a mix of activities throughout ur day, including; physical, mental and even spiritual. These keep the person balanced in the right way without going into excesses.

Happiness, its benefits and how to apply them in your life:

Just check it out, it might just make some sense and benefit u somehow.
I'll give you some examples though anyway;
try to eat moderately, not to your full - but to fulfill your hunger, to sleep but not excessively [7hrs?], and to be moderate in all the activities you mentioned above.

Senior Citizens: What's the best most intruiging insightful advice anyone has ever told you in your life?
hey, im 16 and i find hearing what older people have to say really interesting and take it to heart. theyve got so much more wisdom and experience than kids my age and i have alot of older friends about 50 and 60 that i love so much and was just wondering what advice, spiritual or not that someones told you that you will never forget and just believe with all your heart is true? and who told you? thanks so much.Senior Citizens: What's the best most intruiging insightful advice anyone has ever told you in your life?
well i don't have anything intriguing to offer but my dad gave me some real good advice when i was a teen. when you work-----work, always give all you got and get the job done right, also to help out the neighbors and watch out for the elderly and be kind to them along with the mentally challenged. thanks for asking your question, not a whole lot of teens your age give a darn what us older people think, you are one of the good ones, keep up the good work!!!!Senior Citizens: What's the best most intruiging insightful advice anyone has ever told you in your life?
I learned...
That you take a piece of paper and write down everything you want in life.
If you do not know what to write down, make a list of what you do NOT want in life, and then wait a couple of days and try again. You can then focus on ideas of what you want in life, and write them down.
I then learned that you WAIT for the things on your list to become true for you. Do not chase after them, then they will never happen. WAIT for them to ';come to you.';
As you grow older in life, you will modify your list accordingly. Add things, take away things, as you grow older.
Next, equally important; EXERCISE EVERY DAY. Why? When you turn age 18-21, you are all grown up. What you see is what you get. From 18-21 on, every year you get older, you get weaker. No way around it. But with DAILY EXERCISE, the aging is greatly SLOWED. So when you are 50-60, YOU!! are stronger than every one around you.
Yes, you will be weaker, but not as weak as everyone else.
My mother
told me when I was five not to judge people by the color of their skin.
She explained that people have different skin color just as they have different hair color as they have different eye color. People are PEOPLE.
and it's true.
If i had ';avoided'; people due to their skin color, I would have missed out on a lot of great friends.
Some wise person once told me ';You can't change the past but you can learn from it, the future is not here,so don't worry about it, just give today your best effort and enjoy it.';
My dear Mother told me this:
When you fall in love, look long and hard at how that persons family act. Do Mother and Father get along because, the way they are is how you will live with this person.
And she was correct.
My dad said
Never put it in writing unless you are sure because you can take back the spoken word but cannot take back the written word.
Growing up, my mother said:
1.Let your conscience be your guide
2. Just be yourself
3. Remember the Golden Rule....Do unto others, as you'd have them do unto you.
A mentor once told me when someone compliments you just smile and say thank you.
I had a habit of deflecting the compliment by denying that I had done anything special.
My Mom said, Get a good education, be able to take care of yourself, financially and take care of your teeth,
My Mom: Never let them know what you are thinking.

If you had to make an important life decision, what 3 people would you get advice from?
In what order would you put them (from greatest influence to least)? Also, feel free to add why you chose these people.If you had to make an important life decision, what 3 people would you get advice from?
Spouse (live with him, should consult with him)
parents (no one care more about your well being than your parents)
Sibling/ best friend/ aunts/ uncles/ grandparents/ religious leader/ next person who cares for your best interestIf you had to make an important life decision, what 3 people would you get advice from?
My mother and father (I know that's two, but technically they count as one :p) - so many times in my life I have made a decision against what they suggested, and it has backfired. I usually listen to them now... Usually...
My boyfriend - If I were moving overseas or something, I think it would be quite important to get his opinion first
My best friend - she knows me better than anyone, and would be able to encourage me to do the right thing, and combine that with what makes me happy.
My man, beause we live together and he always asks for my opinion when he makes a decision.
My mom, because she is very smart and would never give me an ill advice.
One of my best friends (know her from college), she cares for me and would advice what she thinks is best for my well being and happiness.
husband (he would probably be affected by my decision, and he's very smart, good judgement)
sister (best friend, equally smart, and wants the best for me)
one of my children (all of them are intelligent, know me, good judgement, and a different youthful perspective on life than my own)
me

Spouse (live with him, should consult with him)
parents (no one care more about your well being than your parents)
Sibling/ best friend/ aunts/ uncles/ grandparents/ religious leader/ next person who cares for your best interestIf you had to make an important life decision, what 3 people would you get advice from?
My mother and father (I know that's two, but technically they count as one :p) - so many times in my life I have made a decision against what they suggested, and it has backfired. I usually listen to them now... Usually...
My boyfriend - If I were moving overseas or something, I think it would be quite important to get his opinion first
My best friend - she knows me better than anyone, and would be able to encourage me to do the right thing, and combine that with what makes me happy.
My man, beause we live together and he always asks for my opinion when he makes a decision.
My mom, because she is very smart and would never give me an ill advice.
One of my best friends (know her from college), she cares for me and would advice what she thinks is best for my well being and happiness.
husband (he would probably be affected by my decision, and he's very smart, good judgement)
sister (best friend, equally smart, and wants the best for me)
one of my children (all of them are intelligent, know me, good judgement, and a different youthful perspective on life than my own)

What advice did your parents give you that you find is relevant to your life today?
Also, what would be the one piece of advice you would give to your children?What advice did your parents give you that you find is relevant to your life today?
';respect yourself or you'll lose it to a scum bag'; - momWhat advice did your parents give you that you find is relevant to your life today?
Repay evil with kindness.
Do to others what you want others do to you..
Follow your heart.
To finish school and don't depend on someone to take care of you.
My mom was brought up that a man should the one to take care of you which i believe that also.
If i had a daughter (or ever do) i will tell her to not depend on a man for nothing.
The main thing though was to be happy
My parents told me to listen to that little voice inside that I'd hear/feel when trying to make a decision. If it made me feel hopeful, excited etc. then it was probably the right choice to make (as long as it wasn't illegal, immoral or life threatening). If it gave me a feeling of ';I don't know if I should do this... Then it was most likely not the thing to do. Often I'd ignore my inner voice and learn an unpleasant lesson.
One thing I'd tell my children, ';If it's illegal, immoral or life threatening, stay away from it.';
find God for yourself, and find yourself in God
don't call chicks broads, they don't like it
treat someone the way you like to be treated!! and i would say the same to my child
Don't get credit cards, pay cash for what you have, then you own it, they don't. Also, never abandon your children, no matter what
Do what makes you happy

Life in Houston Texas. Need advice on Safe areas to live and names of well respected and known apartments?
I need advice on where to live in Houston. Some tips-moving from NY. What are the safest places? What areas should we avoid due to danger and crime? What are the names of well respected apartment complexes that we can rent at? What is so great about sugar land?
Thanks for all your help in advance!!Life in Houston Texas. Need advice on Safe areas to live and names of well respected and known apartments?
Hello from Houston. First, avoid Alief and the Southwest ( the police stay busy night and day; gang activity) ). Two inner loop residentail locations with great schools are Bellaire and West University. There are many very nice and safe apartments and town homes in this area. Also, these two neighborhoods have their own police and fire depts... they are little cities within a city and close to down town. . Professional people live here. Sugarland is nice, it is about 20 minutes from Houston... depending on traffic. That area is developed around a lake and has beautiful homes. Many of our professional athletes live there ( Rockets and Astros) and other professional people. It is very nice . but the traffic is conjested . Be warned... this area is one of the fastest growing in the USA, so there is much development and construction. Outside of the loop are the Woodlands, ( very pretty ), Klein, and Cypress Fairbanks. These are northwest of the city and have great schools, but they are a distance from downtown. Avoid the West TC Jester area and the Tidwell , W. Fairbanks areas... low income and pockets of trouble. I encourage you to use this info to go on line and see where they are located in the city. Another nice area is around Rice University... close to the museum district, the medical center, and down town. Many older homes and nice but older apartments. Also, get in touch with an apartment locater here ( go online ) . They will guide you to a nice area . Once you are here, drive around on a Sunday and get the feel for our freeway system. Over 100 languages are spoken in this very diverse city of about 5 million and with that comes diverse driving habits, too. They all run red lights, and watch out for the Bubbas in their pick ups ( I'm something of a bubba-ette myself) . Last... I really encourage you to live close to where you will be lworking. You'll be glad you are !!! Welcome.... I hope you can get past all of our Texas-isms and southern ways and learn to like it here !!Life in Houston Texas. Need advice on Safe areas to live and names of well respected and known apartments?
1st Houston is a large land area.
some nine major city can fit in it.
a drive across town can be up to sixty miles.
suggest you check out the Houston city website.
figure out where you are going to work.
find some places near (with in 30 minutes drive
at rush hour) to live. Do not Buy until you have been on the job a year or you have a few months layoff cash stashed. Do not over buy/rent utilities and taxes are high.
I have lived in the Houston area for nearly 30 years and I don't know what the hype is about Sugarland either. Some parts of Sugarland are really nice. I think most people who rave about that area like that it is really clean, has a fresh country like feel to it with all the amenities of a large city.
Personally, I prefer the Clearlake area, a suburb of Houston. It's on the water and the community is just nicer than average. Here is one of many links to check out that area: http://www.clearlakeapartment.com/

Houston has crime like any big city, our murder rates are down but we still have a fairly high rate. The Northside of Houston is probably the absolute worst, avoid it at all cost!!!!!!! Key places to avoid are: Greenspoint; Northside; Chimney Rock; Denver Habour; any of the Wards; and Channelview.
Good luck and you will enjoy our Southern hospitality!
First,Sugarland is a well respected area of Houston because it is mostly populated with affluent people. Katy is another GREAT place to live. I grew up there and had friends from Sugarland. The Woodlands is another good place as well as the Heights, historic downtown area near the Museums and the University of Houston. On Westheimer and Bell-Air area are also nice.
Anything on I-10 from katy to downtown is decent as well as fast.
Stay away from any area with the word ';ward'; attached to a number such as fifth ward. S. SW Houston is less desirable than West and NWest Houston. The ';west side'; is the ';best side';!
Maybe you should contact a real-estate agent or broker. My dad is one. He name is Lamprose ';Greek'; Vrinios. He also goes by Louis. He will point you in the right direction. www.heightsvillage.com He has been in Real-Estate since the 70's and has lived in Houston just as long and is very familiar with all the areas!

How can you live an extraordinary life? (Any advice appreciated)?
What do you think an extraordinary life is?
And how can you you live an extraodinary life if you don't know your passions let alone if you are passionate about anything?
Last but not least, what do you think of this quote(?):
';You don't find yourself, you make yourself.';How can you live an extraordinary life? (Any advice appreciated)?
I agree with the quote. The entire purpose, methinks, behind an intellectual life is to realize that humans are at our best creating ourselves. This whole modern wave of self-discovery is a farce for the self creation embraced by previous, far more ingenious people, like Nietzsche and Foucault and Rorty.
For example:
';Maybe the target nowadays is not to discover what we are but refuse what we are.'; - Michel Foucault
As for an extraordinary life, this is a very difficult thing to answer. It depends on your definition of extraordinary. Since I do not know this, I will go by my definition.
I would call an extraordinary life one which distinguishes itself, although not immeasurably, for it is still a human life-- a life which is constantly amid discovery, that is, an artistic life, lived by someone who appreciates the world, sees its complexities, has dispensed with fear, which is most often useless for the human animal. Fear came from evolution, but except when we really need it, like to run from a man with an axe, it is a hindrance for us, and it must be eliminated from one's vocabulary.
In this way-- run, read, watch, experience, do not be afraid to do what you want to do, but the most important thing of all:
Always, constantly observe yourself and your motivations-- that is, know yourself very closely, so that you can evaluate what you want to experience, why you want to, and what else you can become before you are dead.
On a very basic and practical level, the best way to begin approaching a great life, I think, is to understand philosophy. Be taught philosophy, if necessary, but one way or another obtain a real understanding of what past philosophers--the important proofs and basic arguments are the most essential part-- have discerned about existence. It will change your entire life thereafter, I guarantee you, and it will veer you in a direction you did not know possible.How can you live an extraordinary life? (Any advice appreciated)?
i guess and extraordinary life would be one where you face so much adversary but still survive, or when you do things that affect the world (not necessarily help)
I guess you can still live an extraordinary life without knowing you passions by surviving through some kind of struggle, or struggles.
the quote is very true, or maybe its just true, i'm not sure how something can be very true, it just seemed right to say.
We are, in fact, products of our experiences and our environments, everything you do and know and think and learn makes you who you are. So say someone takes a sabbatical to find themselves, really they're making more of themselves by doing more, they are norealizingng who they are because if they hadn't done the stuff they do on their sabbatical then they wouldn't be the same person.
Who said that quote?
...one, move out from your parents house, tell them not to help you in anyway or means...
...find a job to support yourself, cause if you can't you'll end up sleeping where its dry and warm - with the other homeless people...
...in regards to your quote - you make yourself - becomes an extraordinary fact of life...
...advice: sleep lightly, be quick and fast with your hands and feet, good luck...
Nice quote, who's is it?
I have always lived by my principals and remained open to new information and views. It has not been as profitable as liars and cheaters, but I am at peace with my soul.
Depending on what extraordinary means for you...I will say that extraordinary has a lot to see with your own ideas. what you think is good for you, it may not be for me.
By your definition only !

What's the best most intruiging insightful advice anyone has ever told you in your life?
people have got so much more wisdom and experience and was just wondering what advice, spiritual or not that someones told you that you will never forget and just believe with all your heart is true? and who told you? thanks so much.What's the best most intruiging insightful advice anyone has ever told you in your life?
For me, it was the book ';The Selfish Gene'; by Richard Dawkins. It changed my outlook on life.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Selfish鈥?/a>What's the best most intruiging insightful advice anyone has ever told you in your life?
Through resourcefulness and hard work, my parents rose from near poverty to being fairly well off. At a very early age, I was taught by my father to know the value of a dollar. I was given an allowance of several dollars a week, and if I ran short, it was my own fault. I worked my way through college, and had to make my money last. Even today, I am a good money manager even though economic times are at an all-time low. There's a passage in the Bible that states: ';Raise a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.'; No truer words have ever been spoken.
My best friends Grandmother always told us to ';Kill 'em with kindness!'; I really believe that is the way to treat others. This coincides with many spiritual beliefs about giving unto others. I think goodness prevails in most circumstances and have had pretty good luck with it.
Some of the most difficult lessons (experiences) in life are the ones we learn the most from. I don't remember who told me, however it has stayed with me for a long time.
';You can only control yourself'; - kind of goes without saying and although I knew this already it helps to be reminded of this whenever someone else does something that makes no sense to you at all.
Act in a way you want to be treated. If evreyone did that the world would be a better place. My mom said that to me.
There will always be someone who has it better off compared to you and someone that has it worse.
Get up you son of a *****, cause Mickey loves ya!

I'm 24 and my BFof 2 years joined the CG. I want to marry him, but he doesn't want to ';ruin'; my life. Advice?
I'm graduating this May with a BS in criminal justice. I have plenty of opportunities out there, so I'm not worried. He just isn't sure I'm cut out for it. I was looking for help on what I should do to make sure I can do it and not hold anything against him. I don't care where we go as long as I can be near him.I'm 24 and my BFof 2 years joined the CG. I want to marry him, but he doesn't want to ';ruin'; my life. Advice?
I was an Army wife for 20 years and also in the Army Reserve myself. A successful military wife is one who is fairly independent and makes good decisions on her own. She sees her home as the one she shares with her husband, not the one where her parents live. With your education and maturity, you would do very well. You have to be prepared for separations if your husband is away at school or deployed overseas, but if you work and keep busy, it's not too bad. There are also family support groups in each military unit, so you have a built in support network when your husband is gone.
When a servicemember is deployed, he/she very much needs his/her spouse to take care of things at home so he/she doesn't have that worry and can focus on the military job. A happy marriage and a supportive spouse allows the servicemember to excel at his military job.
When my husband was on active duty and we were separated, we corresponded by phone and letter. However, when my son was in the Navy, it was wonderful to be able to email back and forth. Even our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan have access to email and the internet so communication is relatively ';live';. You don't miss someone as much when you can email and perhaps exchange video messages.I'm 24 and my BFof 2 years joined the CG. I want to marry him, but he doesn't want to ';ruin'; my life. Advice?
Listen to him -- life as a military wife is really, really hard. He may be using this as an excuse, as other people have suggested, however, he may also want to give you both the best shot at afuture together, and he realizes it won't happen while he is enlisted. Let time work things out for you. It will.
I agree with all of the above, but when I married my husband I had already completed college, and he felt the same as your boyfriend. He felt inferrior to me, so my solution to the problem was to encourage him to earn a degree, which he did. Once he earned his BS we worked on our Masters degree together. Now we are both working on our doctorial degrees. You have to try to put yourself in his situation. If you are bettering yourself, you should encourage him to better himself. You truly have to be self sufficent. There are so many things that you have to do on your own, take care of the household, attend functions that the both of you would normally attend together, make sure the kids are taken care of, thats like being a single parent, etc, etc. So maybe you should talk to him a little more to find out exactly what made him make that comment.
I would not keep trying to marry a man that is trying to convince me it's not a good idea. What is that telling you? You shouldn't have to ';talk'; a man or woman into marriage. good luck to you.
Sounds like he is just using this as an excuse to delay making any further commitments. It really doesn't sound like a problem you can fix. Sorry. I could be wrong especially since I don't know either of you. But since he is settled into CG life and you are about to receive you BS, I don't see how marrying you would ruin your life. With the health care, job stability, housing, and getting to be together and all.
my boyfriend went in the army and he used that as an excuse although i supported his decision. but when he was being sent to iraq he used that as an excuse and ended up breakin up with me and got with another girl =(
Military unions have a high fail rate. Maybe he understands that and doesn't want to get hurt down the line. It could also be that he thinks he might be getting deployed soon. From personal experience, a deployment is very tough on a couple. Keep him near, but be ready for anything.
Just live together and see how that works out

You don't miss someone as much when you can email and perhaps exchange video messages.I'm 24 and my BFof 2 years joined the CG. I want to marry him, but he doesn't want to ';ruin'; my life. Advice?
Listen to him -- life as a military wife is really, really hard. He may be using this as an excuse, as other people have suggested, however, he may also want to give you both the best shot at afuture together, and he realizes it won't happen while he is enlisted. Let time work things out for you. It will.
I agree with all of the above, but when I married my husband I had already completed college, and he felt the same as your boyfriend. He felt inferrior to me, so my solution to the problem was to encourage him to earn a degree, which he did. Once he earned his BS we worked on our Masters degree together. Now we are both working on our doctorial degrees. You have to try to put yourself in his situation. If you are bettering yourself, you should encourage him to better himself. You truly have to be self sufficent. There are so many things that you have to do on your own, take care of the household, attend functions that the both of you would normally attend together, make sure the kids are taken care of, thats like being a single parent, etc, etc. So maybe you should talk to him a little more to find out exactly what made him make that comment.
I would not keep trying to marry a man that is trying to convince me it's not a good idea. What is that telling you? You shouldn't have to ';talk'; a man or woman into marriage. good luck to you.
Sounds like he is just using this as an excuse to delay making any further commitments. It really doesn't sound like a problem you can fix. Sorry. I could be wrong especially since I don't know either of you. But since he is settled into CG life and you are about to receive you BS, I don't see how marrying you would ruin your life. With the health care, job stability, housing, and getting to be together and all.
my boyfriend went in the army and he used that as an excuse although i supported his decision. but when he was being sent to iraq he used that as an excuse and ended up breakin up with me and got with another girl =(
Military unions have a high fail rate. Maybe he understands that and doesn't want to get hurt down the line. It could also be that he thinks he might be getting deployed soon. From personal experience, a deployment is very tough on a couple. Keep him near, but be ready for anything.
Just live together and see how that works out
I would like advice about a whole life insurance policy.?
I had the policy when I was employed full time at an area hospital. I am no longer employed there but still have the policy. I have not been paying the premiums and there is an outstand loan balance, over $1000.00. What should I do about this?I would like advice about a whole life insurance policy.?
The loan is against the cash value, you don't have to worry about having to pay it back. Call the insurance company they can walk you through your options. .I would like advice about a whole life insurance policy.?
If the policy has not been canceled and you want to keep it in force, start paying the premiums again. If you started the policy while you were young, the premiums are probably fairly low. If you need cash value life insurance in the future, the premium will be much higher.
I would see an agent or advisor and have them assess whether you need the policy or not. Most will offer a free consultation.

Well, cancel the policy. Otherwise, the longer you keep it, it will keep eating up the rest of your cash surrender value. Cancel it now, maybe get a couple hundred dollars out of it.
Call the Dave Ramsey show, he can help you with your question.

Does anyone have advice on life in gereral?
I want to know what people have learn over the year from life general. maybe you have experienced it, read or have been told, or your parents tought you.Does anyone have advice on life in gereral?
I learned, the hard way, that nothing in life worth doing or having is easy. A good life takes work, and we shouldn't be affraid to work hard for it.
Be yourself, and if you don't know who that is, find out before you meet someone and let them define it for you.
Have an open mind, and accept peoples differences. There isn't enough time in our life, to fuss over dumb things.Does anyone have advice on life in gereral?
live your life to the fullest,
never question why something bad happens
because in the end it will be even more gorgeous than it was before.
treasure everything , never take things for granted.
Be honest to yourself. We spend our young lives being taught to hide our emotions, not make waves and keep a stiff upper lip, by the time we are adults, some of us might have no idea what we are even feeling anymore. Don't lie to yourself.
Live your life to it's fullest everyday. Be good to yourself and others. Don't buy what you can't afford. Don't put things off until tomorrow. If you want ice cream for dinner, go for it. Be open minded and know that everyone has their own opinions and they are all right. There is no such thing as a stupid question. Always be at peace with yourself, and if you are not take a step back and figure out what went wrong.
Take care of your health -- no one else is going to.
DON'T get fat.
PAY YOUR BILLS ON TIME and be smart about money management.
Try not to take yourself too seriously.
Find a hobby -- this can be a life and marriage saver, unless you get obsessive about it...
HAVE FUN!
Proverbs 3:5,6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.
Live like you were dying. None of us know what tomorrow has for us or even if there will be a tomorrow. Live today to it's fullest.
Through your question, you're lacking of a lot, or just want others opinions. Build your intelligence by reading psychological books, watching documentaries. Use each experience that life brings you to understand what's to do with them. There's always something to learn, open your mind, listen to people. Think!, it's important!
Learn patience, love, communication, relationship, behavior, politeness, kindness, non-discrimination, self-reliance, gift of your time, all you can think of that's good; do it! That's how we learn life in general!
Take care!
Life is unfair, and it sucks, you need to accept that. Just get as much pleasure as you can before time runs out.
put god first everything else will fall in place, know a person at least two years before you make a commitment, watch a person don't listen just watch you can learn alot, laugh laugh and laugh somemore, take time to smell the roses, watch the movie pass it on and try it for yourself
Do what makes you happy, just dont hurt anyone along the way.
take each day as it comes, live each day as though it is your last and remember to smile, it is good for your well being. laughter really is the best medicine. be true to yourself , live loud and be proud. cheers sammi

Are you old? What would your advice on life be?
I am just about to turn 30.
I never had any parents growing up and would like some advice on life from others who are older (50/60/70 etc)
Do you have any advice on life?Are you old? What would your advice on life be?
Bravo for asking! Most younger ppl have no idea of the resources walking quietly all around them.
My advice would overwhelmingly be this one thing: as it turns out, love is CENTRAL to us, to our happiness, to everything. Devote yourself to the finding, and care of, love. It is more important than everything else put together.Are you old? What would your advice on life be?
and that is All hat Report Abuse
I agree with ';all hat,'; and I would add this: try to keep learning and educating yourself, make NEW mistakes because you learned from the old ones, ask lots of good questions like the one you asked here and let love lead you instead of your fears. Report Abuse
I am 16 years old but I am not the typical type of teenager so that doesn't stop me from giving you advice on life. My advice would be for you to abstain from hedonistic pleasures and find something pure and natural to satisfy you. Maybe have faith in God and you will know what your true purpose of being in existence is. I am sorry that you didn't have any parents while growing up. The others have posted good advices for you so I don't have to say anymore. But just don't get influenced by the pleasures in today's society. Hang around with nature for it's purity.
1. Enjoy the perception that time is slow, that minutes sometimes seem like hours. It really does fly by as you get older.
2. Never take for granted that you can move every part of your body without stiffness and pain. Run and jump and bend those knees!
3. When you're young, feel blessed that you can look forward to things that will happen in 20 or 30 years. When you're older, celebrate all that you've done with your life. And, for Heaven's sake, don't skip over all the little things that are so easy to ignore. They're what fill up most of our time and give spice to our lives.
4. Say ';Hi'; and smile when you can. Give a kind word to the people you see all the time, like the folks at the grocery. These little things are what the others in your life will remember about you and love you for.
5. Appreciate your life every minute of every year, at every age. When you can no longer do what you did at 30, do something else. Being alive is a trip on the opportunity bus. Age tells you when to change gears;-)
6. Don't get bogged down in the things that don't matter. If you must ask ';Why was I born?';, then answer ';Because.....'; and realize that ';because'; is the only answer anyone can give. Each of our lives is important in ways that we'll never know. It's part of the mystery of life.
I wish I could advise people. I wish I could tell them how to be happy, successful, caring, forgiving, and content. But with all my knowledge, a blessed and charmed life, I have learned one thing. We would like others to learn from our mistakes, but we forget that the only way we learned was through our own. So my only advice; fear nothing and anything you want can be yours.
My advice is : Don't kill yourself with hard work, everything in moderation, and learn how to say no to yourself, and others. I'm in my seventies. I wish that I had asked that question when I was that age. Have a star
G Use the ';life+decryption+key'; as soon, and as much as you can. You can make a huge change in your future without agonizing efforts. I waited until I was 43 and lost a lot of useful time.
Your not that old.

What advice do you give your kids to have a good life?
I have a 3 year old and I trying to get her excited about school. To me, having a good education and means to make a living are sooo important.
What do you tell your kids? Especially the teens.What advice do you give your kids to have a good life?
I raised two really smart sons so here is my advice.
Spend time with her and read to her every day. My youngest son learned to read when he was four. You can take her to the library and let her pick out books. Children who are interested in reading will be interested in learning.
I also baked with my kids (both are excellent cooks!). Baking is a reading and science lesson all in one. Start with a cake mix. Let her add the water and the eggs. Baking is chemistry, kids learn to follow directions, fractions. And you get cake to eat when you're done. How fun is that!
You are your child's cheerleader. When she shows an interest in something, let her pursue it. Let your daughter find something she loves to do and then get paid to do it. That is the definition of happiness.
It isn't necessary to have your child in lots of classes or sports. Children need time to daydream and have fun and be kids. So encourage, don't push. And lastly, enjoy your little one! She will be grown and gone in the blink of an eye.What advice do you give your kids to have a good life?
in this day and age it's so hard. I feel sorry for the teens these days they don't have a clue. they defy school they walk all over their teachers and parents. I don't know what's going to happen. I've tried to tell them not to depend on anyone be able to support yourself. do good in school save money before leaving home you can give them all the facts of life they're gonna do what they want. you gotta let them trial and error as much as it hurts. if your lucky your children will listen keep encouraging and let them know you love them and will be there for them show them the pros and cons of things life changes so much

I need some Life Advice/Life Coaching? Much appreciated for your answers?
I'm 24 and I've been thinking a lot about moving or staying in my current location (Chicago area), making new friends, finding a passion. I NEED A CHANGE! Or I think I do. So I'm looking for people to share life lessons with me, past mistakes, past regrets, etc. Also, I'm wondering, in your opinion, if you're me, where would you be living and what would you be doing at my age. Where= any state, country, city. I like details. More details = best answer point. Thanks!I need some Life Advice/Life Coaching? Much appreciated for your answers?
finding your passion is the key. all else will follow.I need some Life Advice/Life Coaching? Much appreciated for your answers?
I'm 21, and I have no regrets in my life. I am happy with what I am doing, and where I am living. I think the most important thing in life is doing what you love. For me this was very easy. I have always loved animals, so I went to college to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician. Loving my job is important to me, and I feel like I am making a difference, in both animal's lives, and people's lives. I don't know what you do for a living, but I think it is important to be excited to go to work every day. I met my boyfriend in college, and we are now living together. We are just starting out, we are renting a small house in a very bad area (Detroit area). But that doesn't bother me, because we are saving money and working towards buying a house in a nicer area. I don't have a lot of friends, but I have a lot of family. My family is the most important thing to me, because they are ALWAYS there for me, and we all get along. I could never move too far away from my family, because I would be miserable if I couldn't see them often.
The most important things to me in life are finding your passion, and making it a reality, always having goals to work towards, and surrounding yourself with people you love, who can always make you happy.
Hi, HeloMoto
I'm 42 and also live in Chicagoland area. It's difficult for most to give you their best advice when they now little about you. So in light of that, details can only come from knowing specifics about you. Generally most will tell you to do what makes you happy. Not easy to do if your not sure exactly what will make you happy, and happy to what degree and for how long. Some will say that you should read certain books, go to church, go to bars, live a year in Europe on the road, etc, etc.
I found that in my live the simplest advice reaped the greatest gains in terms of happiness or contentment. So with out knowing much about you or being able to give you the details I'll leave you with this adage.
Ask life what you will and it will give it in return. Ask for penny and you will get a penny, ask for the world and it will give you the universe.

How can you stay married for life? Do you have any advice on how to stay happily married?
Don't always insist that your way is the right way.
Be considerate of your partner's feelings.
If you are upset about something, talk about it but don't yell, scream or blame.
Be honest and be fair.
Say ';I Love you'; everyday even if it's not always easy.
Don't feel that you have to always be joined at the hip with your spouse - both of you should have your own interests and friends and be okay to spend time apart without jealousy.
Don't hold grudges.
Talk about all the big steps before they happen - like big purchases (house, car), big moves (changing jobs or homes, retirement) and big changes (having children) - even though you think you both want the same things, you will find that you have differences and if you work them out before a change, things will go much more smoothly.
The main thing is just the old golden rule - treat your spouse the way that you want to be treated.
Oh - and don't give up at the first sign of trouble. You have to work hard to have something worthwhile and that includes a long, happy marriage.How can you stay married for life? Do you have any advice on how to stay happily married?
coming from someone who has never been married i think to stay married for life, you have to remember that you are not always going to be ';happily Married';. Marriage is work, and that is why there are so many divorces these days, because no one is willing to work for the person they fell in love with. so just remember that when you do get married, you will have amazing times, and you will also have times where you really have to work to keep your marriage together.How can you stay married for life? Do you have any advice on how to stay happily married?
Staying happily married is a choice. For a marriage to last for life the couple must love each other, communicate and be considerate of each other. Also couples should seek counseling regardless of if they need it or not. Everyone brings baggage to their relationship rather it's small or big baggage. Counseling will help them deal with their partners mood swings. Keeping a healthy and happy marriage together takes hard work.
The fist thing is to choose wisely before you get married. You have to have the same basic value system, and you should have similar interests. With that said, marriage is about caring enough about the other person that you would literally be willing to die for that person. You can never let selfishness rule. If you really evaluate why people don't stay married, whether it's money, infidelity, or a host of other problems, most of them boil down to selfishness. You need to place your spouse's needs ahead of your own. That's not saying to don't do things for yourself, because you do need to take care of yourself and do things for yourself. Just don't do it at the expense of your spouse.
The other bit of advice, never go to sleep until a conflict is resolved. In 25+ years of marriage, my wife and I have never gone 'till the next morning without working things out. There have been some pretty late nights, but in the end we have always come to terms.
The best idea for marriage is just keep doing it... Don't let the bad things break you up. The problem with following this idea, is that someone (who you may be married to) might have other ideas. You may be all gung ho about not fighting about something, but they may want to fight about something...You may be gung ho about moving and they may not be gung ho about moving. It's hard to keep on mind for two different people unless one or the other does a lot of compromise.
My personal response is through healing yourself, so before even entering a relationship you are as wholly yourself as possible (this also implies maturity in age).
Through years of various forms of counseling and self-help books, one of the best resources I've found that contains simplified, practical, effective answers to your complex question are the writings by author Laura Schlessinger. The titles of her books are cheeky, but if you can get beyond them, they contain the jewels for a well-lived marriage.
Tera had a good point that I'd like to elaborate on. She said not to sweat the small stuff, and to ask yourself how important something really is. I'd like to add the thought process I use with this is ';How much is this REALLY going to matter a week from now, a month from now, a year from now, and 5 years from now?'; If the answer is ';not much'; to any of those options, then I try to let it go! It really helps things out.
Also, be sure to respect one another's feelings, and really LISTEN to one another.
Be affectionate, considerate, loving, and tender.
Go on dates with your spouse still on a regular basis.

One thing my grandma told my mom and my mom told me was to not sweat the small stuff. Pick your battles. The little things like not replacing the empty toilet paper roll used to drive me nuts. Until my mom gave me the talk about not sweating the small stuff. Before you fight about something ask yourself is it really that major? Is it worth it? Oh and don't go to bed angry. Work it out, listen and communicate with your partner.
Do things together that make you laugh.
Hold hands.
Kiss each other several times a day.
Always say I love you.
Find common interest and do them together.
Participate in his interests.
Make sure he participates in your interests.
Never hold a grudge longer than a few days at most.
Be understanding.
Never let the sexual spark die.
Be adventurous together.
only been married 8 years so not sure if I'm qualified to answer but I'll tell you what I learned:
Focus on what you can do to make things better, not what your spouse does that bothers you.
Talk open and honestly about everything. Even things you think your spouse will get upset about.
Watch how you say things to your spouse (i tend to be sarcastic).
Keep the sex interesting.
Find time to spend alone with each other.
Touch,hug and kiss often.
And remember...marriage is hard work. Its not always easy.
Grow together as a couple or you will drift apart.
Change is inetible you have to change as a couple.
Both for the other not for yourself.
Remember you can't control your spose but it won't work unless both of you want it tobe
Try not to yell when you get mad. Don't get physical...keep a regular sexual pattern...try to keep your vacations planned together. Try to be consistent with each other and in front of the kids. Take Care
Read your bible and live the way Jesus Christ created us to be towards our husband/wife. It may not be easy but God will give you life if you live it according to him.
Honesty is not always the best policy.
Hope for a short life. Other than that there is no hope.
SEX, don't stop having it, and make SURE it's fun for both!rimmel
Be considerate of your partner's feelings.
If you are upset about something, talk about it but don't yell, scream or blame.
Be honest and be fair.
Say ';I Love you'; everyday even if it's not always easy.
Don't feel that you have to always be joined at the hip with your spouse - both of you should have your own interests and friends and be okay to spend time apart without jealousy.
Don't hold grudges.
Talk about all the big steps before they happen - like big purchases (house, car), big moves (changing jobs or homes, retirement) and big changes (having children) - even though you think you both want the same things, you will find that you have differences and if you work them out before a change, things will go much more smoothly.
The main thing is just the old golden rule - treat your spouse the way that you want to be treated.
Oh - and don't give up at the first sign of trouble. You have to work hard to have something worthwhile and that includes a long, happy marriage.How can you stay married for life? Do you have any advice on how to stay happily married?
coming from someone who has never been married i think to stay married for life, you have to remember that you are not always going to be ';happily Married';. Marriage is work, and that is why there are so many divorces these days, because no one is willing to work for the person they fell in love with. so just remember that when you do get married, you will have amazing times, and you will also have times where you really have to work to keep your marriage together.How can you stay married for life? Do you have any advice on how to stay happily married?
Staying happily married is a choice. For a marriage to last for life the couple must love each other, communicate and be considerate of each other. Also couples should seek counseling regardless of if they need it or not. Everyone brings baggage to their relationship rather it's small or big baggage. Counseling will help them deal with their partners mood swings. Keeping a healthy and happy marriage together takes hard work.
The fist thing is to choose wisely before you get married. You have to have the same basic value system, and you should have similar interests. With that said, marriage is about caring enough about the other person that you would literally be willing to die for that person. You can never let selfishness rule. If you really evaluate why people don't stay married, whether it's money, infidelity, or a host of other problems, most of them boil down to selfishness. You need to place your spouse's needs ahead of your own. That's not saying to don't do things for yourself, because you do need to take care of yourself and do things for yourself.
