Hi everyone. I am writing a journal for my 2 year old daughter. This journal will be for her to read as she grows up. It will have all the information about how I feel about issues such as drugs, abuse, respect, teen pregnancy, etc. if I ever, God forbid, die young. This way, she will always know where I stand on issues like these. I have gotten off to a great start and wanted to contact you all if you should want to give some great advice to someone from your life experience. If the advice is good I will put it in her journal letting her know it's from people like you who care.
Thank you.

My greatest advice is to love those who love you. I have not very often had love in my life, but I have also left ones who truly did love me and not ever realized it. The old saying "never look a gift horse in the mouth" may be appropriate here. I hope that made sense. I think you are doing a really great thing with the journal. If only we all had had something to go by. Best wishes

The best advice I received while growing up was "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Sounds archaic, but I have done this all my life and guess what? I have a lot of friends, a great husband and always treat others as I would like to be treated. I was also taught to imagine myself in the mind of someone less fortunate than I. Never ever make fun of anyone because that someone 'could be you' someday. Jeez, I sound pretty prissy but I'm not. These examples are only basics to live by - not cast in iron by any means.

a million) Divorce is a puzzling adjustment. mum and dad relationship is yet another puzzling adjustment. It looks such as you're previous adequate to pass to the drugstore and get your individual drugs...next time - do it! Or ask your brother, (dad?), or yet another relative in the journey that your mom isn't around. 2) in the journey that your dad is a unfavourable tension on your life - distance your self. It hurts even with the incontrovertible fact that that's ok. My mom grew to become into ill and an addict and fully irrational and that i had to diminish her out of my life... 3) cheating is a deal breaker for me. no matter how a lot you (think of) you adore him...i might purely unload him. extra helpful to be on my own than with a cheater that motives no longer something yet misery (to no longer point out the potential of STD's) in case you have scientific well being insurance - attempt some very own scientific care to help you clutter with the aid of a number of this emotional stuff. a number of my best supporters have been my therapists...they have helped me be a extra helpful individual. My domicile life grew to become into no longer good...i do no longer think of i may be a million/2 the grownup i'm in the present day without some advantageous exterior impacts. good luck to you!

-Drugs are bad for many reasons. Not only are they bad for your health but they turn you into a different person. They turn you into someone uncaring and everyone knows when you've done drugs. If you ask any drug addict they'd tell you "If you've never done it, don't start."
-Don't let anyone abuse you. If your boyfriend or teacher or even a family memebr abuses you, report it immediately.
-Respect yourself and others. Especially yourself. There's nothing more pathetic than a girl who disrespects herself to please others.
-Abstinence is the sure way of preventing AIDS and pregnancy. If you're ever wondering about sex, think of the pros and the cons. Pros, it'll be an experience you'll share with your partner. Cons, your at risk of getting and STD, becoming pregnant which would prevent you from accomplishing your future goals. Also it will ruin your reputation at school.
-Here's one quote that always helps me in times of despair. "Pain is inevitable, but misery is optional." Life will be hard but don't dwell on it because that only gets you into deeper problems.
-I hope this helps

the best advise i received was well theres two
for school and education the advise was....why settle for less. go for your goal.. who cares if it took you 4 yrs or 10 yrs when you complete it you can look down on all those who criticized you and flip them off (my grandpa was rather blunt)
the other advise was for life....(my grandpa again told me) if you live in the past you are walking around backwards, if you only live for the future you are going to run out of breath. walk and enjoy where you are now, because in a few steps it will all be behind you and you still have your future to walk towards
the last thing you want to remember is always tell the ones you love goodbye and you love them because you may not have the chance to do it the next time

A friend's mother gave her this advice: Always treat yourself like fine china, not a paper plate. In other words, respect and treat yourself with all the dignity and love you deserve. I would just add to never stop learning. Never be content with what you know, always strive to find out more. Never just accept what is told to you, look a little deeper to find out the truth others will always try to keep from you. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, and use sunscreen!

Hows this for advice:
Go placidly amid the noise and haste; remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly to counsel of years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees & the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.
This is something my mom gave to me when I was a small boy, and I've tried to live by it every living moment. I hope your daughter may be the happiest of children, for she has the most thoughtful of mothers.

The best thing my mother ever told me was regarding my plans to marry. She said, "You have to make sure that you are going in wholeheartedly, without inhibitions. If you are unsure, then you will have to stand back and evaluate whether you are willing to spend the rest of your life with this man, supporting him, standing beside him in the walk of life. If so, you hold your head up high and you take pride in your husband." I love my mom, what she said to me was what really made me understand that marrying him was the only choice for me. We are now a happily married couple. I can also see the other side of it; if he weren't the right one, I would have been able to see it.

I have been giving a lot of advice in my life. The one I remember the most is to buy land because god is not making any more of it, and the other one is that you shouldnt give, up because someone else down your path is going to need you to lean on, and without you they will fall, and the person they are suppose to help will fall, and the whole world will fall, because everybody is that important!!1
