Q: What's the best piece of advice anyone's given you about life?

A: When I was little, I was watching a video with my mother, the musical "The Wiz". The Scarecrow (played by Michael Jackson) was being forced to sing a very lively but depressing song called "You Can't Win." The song refers to life, and the words are:
"You can't win, you can't break even, and you can't get out of the game".

My mother leaned over to me while he was singing the song, and she whispered:
"It's true, Andrea. You can't get out of the game, but you CAN win."

I thought that was sooooo corny, when she said it. I was kinda mad at her for interrupting the movie. But that moment stuck with me throughout my life. And now I appreciate her intention - she understood the power of suggestion and she didn't want me to grow up believing the negativity that I heard in that song.

And I've come to realize that what she said is very true: No matter how bad things may appear to be, there really is always a solution - there is ALWAYS an answer to your problem, you just have to find it. If you know there is always a solution, and if you believe that you can win, then you won't give up until you do!

And remember, the only time that you MUST not fail is the last time that you try.

Answer 3

Get out the game & don't hate everyone else because of one person. I lived by that for a long long long time (the second part) and now I got out the game & trying to do something with my life..... made more money back then though, but still gotta fight.

Answer 4

My father said, "Never believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see"

My Doctor once said, "You are your own best friend, no one will treat you better than you, so treat yourself right"

My God said, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers that exist in the heavenly realms."

These three pieces of advice hold the answers to many of the questions I've had growing up. I hope you treasure them as much as I.

Answer 5

Its all about karma:

You get what you give... you attract who/what you are... and your life is a culmination of choices.. so be proactive and own it, or don't complain...

Life is the journey... NOT the destination (that's death, hello!), and what you contribute before you arrive, is what counts in the end.

Carpe Diem - with no regrets!

Answer 6

Don't sweat the small the stuff and if won't matter ten years from now does it matter.

Answer 7

You never know who your friend are until you need them.

That people are what they are, and you can't change them, and you can't save them either. So when you pick someone choose carefully.

Answer 8

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. My Guardian (Angel) said I was my worst enemy.She also thumped me in the head too.I was around the age of 11. She would often visit me exactly at 1:11 am. Unless I called on her.

Answer 9

That we all tend to judge peoples motives through the eyes of our past experiences. That we need to take each person at face value and not think they are going to treat us the same way that someone else in the same kind situation of treated us.

Answer 10

I heard someone once say that their grandfather's dying words were: "I only regret my economies". I sometimes try to live by that.
