The best piece of advice I ever received :
" what other people think of me is none of my business"

My mother taught us to treat others as we ourselves would like to be treated
If you see a child behaving badly don't assume that is just a tantrum, there is probably underlying problem with that child so be kind..
My mother told me to always wear clean undies when I go out, in case I'm in an accident and have to be taken to hospital.

I was always told this when I was young , if only my nan could see me now.

If someone is giving you a hard time imagine them with no clothes on it will make you smile.
The best advice I received from my grandmother:
Good Friends help you find important things when you have lost them
Things like your smile, your hope, and your courage

Careful son that light at the end of the tunnel could be a train coming from the other side
Best advice i got from my darling mother god bless her was never go out with holes in your knickers
My gra
As a child, my grandad used to tell me two things, “never put off until tomorrow what you can do today” and “never carry a lazy man’s load” to this day (I’m 61) I hear him say it in my ear, so I can never ‘put off’ and I truly believe in the lazy man’s load (carrying to much at once to get the job done) I’ve tried it and it always back fires!
Memories to hold dear
My Dad taught me this and I say it daily : 'God give me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things that I can and the wisdom to know the difference'
My mother always told me never to tell friends all your darkest secrets because as you get older and your life changes and those secrets seem unimportant those secrets will follow you forever because people have long memories.
The best piece of advice I always do to this day and have told a few family and friends and they have come to thank me for giving them this piece of advice is :- when a electrical appliance isn’t in use like for incidence the electric jug, switch off at the power point. If no one is in a room or if you are leaving a room switch off the lights to that room. Every time a power switch is on at the wall and the appliance isn’t being used it’s chewing up power. Making these simple little changes like that helps using less power means a lower power bill.
If you need to cry
Then cry,but after you cry move on and never cry again.
My beautiful Grandpa taught me this:
Assume nothing
Believe no-one
Check everything
Act as if everything I do makes a difference.
In other words, make wise choices and be responsible for my actions.
My precious Mum taught me to be quick to listen (use my ears rather than my tongue), be slow to speak (think long and hard about what I am going to say), and be even slower to anger (I'm allowed to get angry, but don't let anger get to me).
This teaching is based on a verse from the New Testament book of James.

My father taught us, never put off till tomorrow, something that you could do today. Best advice ever.
I was always told if you have nothing good to say about someone than don't say anything
