Best advice on life you have ever gotten

what is the best advice that you have gotten on life in general
and is there a story behind it

 

I can start
the best advice i ever got was "Dont mess with the cook"
thge guy who told (i cant remember his name no matter what i do) had a story behind it
here it is
there were a bunch of guys deer hunting and one of them made fun of the cook at the camp
so every night, the cook go to the guy's rifle and move the cross hairs on his scope up a lot, and before the guy tried to site it in after he got back, the cook would change it back
this went on for like a week and all the guys were waiting on the one to get a deer so they could all go home. he finally got a deer because his scope fogged up and he used the iron sites

 

Mine was "take chances, and make mistakes"

that would be from Ms. frizzles the magic schoolbus tv show, and its what I live by!

 

cheaper to keep er

 

Wear a condom and don't do drugs.

 

travel lite, and always carry a Heavy Bag.......

 

Never fry Bacon naked.

 

Take it one day at a time, Especially if you are overwhelmed.

 

You miss 100% of the shots you dont take.

 

Don't worry, be Happy!

 

does anyone have stories behind these?
or were they just advice given to you?

 

Don't let the "little" head tell the "big" head what to do!

 

best advice? hmm gotta be from my poppa.

"nobody is going to stop you from doing what you want to do-so, it better always be worth it"

This isn't advice someone told me but I am a firm believer in "Self-fulfilling prophecy"

If you have a negative attitude going into something, you will probably get a negative outcome. The inverse is true as well.

I always try to remain positive even if the world is crashing around me. I don't dwell on things...especially things that happened in the past.

Always have goals. Short term and long term, big or small.

 

my dad told me in high school, "pull up your socks or get your resumes ready for the factories" Needless to say I listened. And to think all these years my mom nagged me about my schooling didn't work.

 

Fat, Drunk, and Stupid is no way to go through life son.

 

do it right the first time

 

"if your gonna be stupid you gotta be tough"

 

"If you don't hit the ball past the ladies tees, you have to play the hole with your pants down"

This has made me a better golfer.
