Best advice on life you have ever gotten

The only helping hand in life is the one at the end of your arm.

Pops told me that. Him and my Mum came to Canada to scratch out a better life for our family. It was tough going for a long time there.

 

"Whether you think you can or cant, you're right."

And from my coach's
"Do it right do it light, do it wrong do it long"

 

"Always make sure your woman loves you more then you love her"

Advice given to me by my barber yesterday, was having a lil spat with my gf and she called and ignored the call 3 times so he asked me what was going on. lol he made a pretty good case and point to, cause if she loves you more then she'll stick with you through the worst of it.

 

gravity prevents pregnancy... put her on top

 

I heard this on the golf channel, and is great advice for anyone learning to golf... or any sport for that matter...

Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.
Vince Lombardi

Think about it... you can practice all day long, but if you are doing it wrong, you won't get any better...

 

Refer to my sig.

 

treat people the way you want to be treated. (wish it was that way)

 

A quote a Guy at work told me:

"Women are smarter then men think they are, but they are no where near as smart as they think they are."

 

"think outside the box"

 

A very popular one in swimming (and other sports im sure) is the same concept: "practice makes permanent"

I think lately the most important advise given to me is that i am not defined by one swim or any swim for that matter, but how I handle myself afterwards.

And "adversity introduces a man to himself"
You find out alot about yourself in the manner in which you handle negative and positive issues. Alot of people think they are strong and well rounded because they can handle adversity, but what if you give that same person a
million dollars? How they behave then will also be a defining factor.

 

"Most people can handle adversity, if you truely want to test a man's character, give him power"

 

"Everything goes through a vomit stage."

From my art teacher in high school. I had a piece I was working on that looked like hell for a while. I don't think he meant this as commentary on life, but the more stages my life goes through, the more it seems to apply.

 

^that's what I was thinkin bout

 

Don't know that I agree with it, and to me it certainly was funny....

"Marriage is an institution that takes a perfectly good relationship and fucks it all up"

 

"Nothing is worth Living for, unless it is worth Dying for"

and
"Put your name on everything you do"

 

Probably "don't be a fool, wrap your tool" or 'live as if you'll never see tommorow"

 

Look before you turn, turn right to avoid a collision, and the lower jumper has the right of way.

 

"Life's a garden, DIG IT"

Lol, I really havent gotten any life advice, guess thats why my life sucks..haha

 

The one under my name:

"Bad decisions make great stories."

 

Also, my collegiate football coach used to always say:

"Make your mistakes at full speed."

Translation: "It's okay if you fuck up, just make sure you're trying your damnedest when you do it."
