Are there any words of wisdom you’d like to pass along to me?

Don't sweat it, you'll fail. Failing is good, it's part of the process. It's because someone failed more than you that they excelled more than you. Give it a try, if you fail. Try again. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be good enough to not fail, and then you can perfect it.

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

- Dale Carnegie

There are no mind readers. Your chances of getting what you want are greatly increased when you can ask for it.

Relax. Don't worry so much.

never make eye contact while eating a banana...

Don't let the opinions of your peers and family stop you from doing that one thing that makes your life worth living.

Oh, and don't pick your friend's nose.

Always cut away from your soft parts.

Follow your dreams, but recognize that you might not be able to succeed at 'anything you want if you put your mind to it'...somewhere along the way you may have to compromise a little bit and pursue a lesser dream you have the aptitude to achieve.

Always carry a pack of breath mints. If you think your breath is less than fresh, have a mint. If someone's breath is less than fresh and the situation allows, have a mint for yourself and offer them one. If it's not an appropriate time to offer a breath mint or a stranger declines your offer, grin and bear it; if a friend declines a breath mint, offer again with a stern look on your face.

Never, under any circumstances, decline an offer of a breath mint.

If you tie 2 birds together even though they have 4 wings they can not fly.

When things get black, keep your head down and don't stop - you're just gonna have to trudge through it. On the other side laughter and your old self are waiting for you.

also, you will never be any good to anyone else until you are good to yourself. be selfish for the ones you love. they will love you for it. (this meaning psychologically, of course, not materially)

I had to give both of these pieces of advice to my oldest daughter recently.
She's doing better. :)

money can't buy happiness but somehow it's much more comfortable crying in a porsche than on a bicycle...

You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Slim...
-Jim Croce

Don't volunteer to make the Deviled-eggs for a big Christmas party, unless you're Suzy/Sean Homemaker. (there are not enough Deviled-eggs to satisfy the horde!)

You must learn to live happily with yourself before you can even think about partaking in a healthy relationship. You alone should never be held responsible for anyone else's happiness.

Don't eat the yellow snow......lol....

Thought this would be appropriate since the winter season has begun..

To continue the theme of the above post:

Don't drive so damn fast in the snow. It's better to arrive late than to not arrive at all.

Just breathe.

No matter how wound up, silly, & slightly feverish you're feeling:
Don't abuse the APF.*

Don't hold back.

We are what we do. So do something. Right, wrong... make a decision and take action.

Never give up a second chance. Fate, good luck, favor of Allah... you need to go again.

Life is like an oxygen mask on a plane: take care of yourself first, then help others.

And, uh, don't be like this guy.

or this guy...

What my granny used to say: "What you can't do today, don't do tomorrow either."


Edit: Oops, sorry, worded it wrong. Hope it goes right now: "Whatever you can neglect to do today, don't do tomorrow either."

Never pass a bathroom.
Don't waste a hard-on.
Never trust a fart.

Learn the phrase "I did not participate nor do I condone it." Love it. Live it.

"When in doubt, throw it out!" Leftovers can be dangerous!!

This is second to: "Never Trust a Fart".

forgive your enemy, but remember the fucker's name...

Never buy cheap when it comes to towels, sheets and oven mitts.

live your dreams

"Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were." Cherie Carter-Scott

Unless you have a strong stomach, never youtube "earwax, boils, cysts, spider-bites or worms".

Keep your mind open to the many possibilities life has to offer.

It's never too late to find yourself.

Some odds can be beat.

There are many ways to succeed at something competitive. There is only one way that will give you a better chance to succeed - hard work. Working hard at something will not ensure victory, but it will give you the opportunity to compete.

And with that, place is simply a function of who else shows up that day.

To steal from Dr. Seuss:

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

the trials of miles, the miles of trials

Better yet, - If you don't have a lot of experience driving in snow, Don't do it without someone with experience helping you.

help a man when he is in trouble, and he will remember you when he is in trouble again...

Very true, but will he remember you when you are in trouble?

Sometimes, in order to have a good time, you have to be a good time.

If it feels good, do it.

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
