[TheVirtualMind]

What is the best piece of advice someone (family member, friend, coach, movie line) that you have heard that helped you out when you were struggling with something?

This thread was one of the first I read when I found this site and I'd say that is probably the best advice I've ever gotten in my life.

"If you've never failed, you've never lived."

 

[Francisco d'Anconia]

You have a choice about what you do as well as how you feel.

Wait a sec, I told myself that....

No matter how hot she is, somebody somewhere is sick of her sh!t.

 

[Skel]

Dont trust women

 

[Da Realist]

Dont try and look for an easy life.

Well, other than the generic "work hard, and be honest" stuff that my parents, particularly my father passed along (yes, it was true and I did very well by it),
one of my favorite pieces of advice is from JP Morgan (the financier, not the bank) "Think a lot, say a little, *write nothing*"

Also, all of the advice about one-itis I've read over the years really is gold. It's amazing how it frees you up when there is more than one romantic "possibility" in one's life.

Be honest about every intention and desire you have with a girl. NEVER mask it or hide it or pretend it doesn't exist or matter. You will never lose with this mindset.

[MoveYourAss...]

Find out what you really want (or need in a non-neediness way) in your life and arrange that. That is the most important thing.

Something for the way to clubs/bars: Hey, this is YOUR spare time. Enjoy it.

"Never leave your friends at the club, to go gambling with a crazy, and likely drugged out stripper"

The entire book of pook in the bible. Not only was it perfect advice when I needed it, I loved the way he wrote it.

"As you think you shall become" -I heard it from Pook but it originated from Bruce Lee

"never forget that people are on many different paths seeking happiness and fulfilment, and just because you aren't on the same path, doesn't necasarily mean the other person is lost"
