Advice part 1 - the everyman.


You can never have too much good advice. There are some little tidbits below - some are kinda adapted from my mom, others are from websites and books I've read.

* When someone is drowning, don’t jump in after them. Find a branch.
* If you’re in a contest, you have to find a way to be different than everyone else.
* If you’re lost in the woods, follow a stream downstream and you’ll find houses.
* If you think something might need to be ironed, it probably does. Iron it.
* You can certainly have everything you want out of life. It just might not be all at the same time.
* It’s not what you make that makes you rich — it’s what you spend that makes you poor.
* Stand up for what you believe in until you are proven wrong. And if you are proven wrong, accept it gracefully.
* Expect to succeed. And expect to work for it.
* It’s easier to stay out of trouble than get out of trouble.
* You can’t please everyone. Some people will complain even if their ice cream is cold.

I like this one especially at our age, when we want grown up stuff, nice looking houses and furniture...but we have to wait and be patient.
