I find that parents give a lot of advice and mine did as well. The ones you would like to pass on to your kids are the ones that have had the most impact.

Respect yourself, and do all things, even the tiny things with the utmost integrity. Then, no matter the result, you will be able to hold your head up high.
Love is not words, but actions as well. Demonstrate how you feel to those you love.
Bite your tongue for 20 seconds when you are angry. It will prevent you from saying many things you would regret.
Don't go to bed angry with your spouse. Nothing good comes of dragging out fights. Try to at least come to place of calm understanding, if not resolution.
And, my personal favorite.....if the other kid hit you first, you have my permission to defend yourself to the best of your ability. If you started it, you will be in twice the trouble when you get home. lol

Mum used to say,
"This is not mean't for you, as I don't expect you to take my advice. What I'd like you to do is remember it though, so when you find yourself in the same situation with your own children, you'll know just how I feel now, and realise that although you know what you are thinking of saying is right, you will only be wasting your breath and causing friction between you." She would then tell me what Gran had told HER, and admit she ignored the advice then, but right now wished she'd been mature enough to handle it.
It worked for me - I think.....

Never do business with family! My dad always told me this, and still does. It can cause a LOT of hurt feelings and sad times. He is living with some residual problems from my grandpa's death 10 years ago. Of his (7) brothers and sisters, only 2 of his sisters and he speak to each other. The rest have gotten completely out of touch with everyone.

You can do anything you want to do. You can be anything you want to be. Keeping this in mind, every action has a consequence, but I got to choose my positive and negative consequences and learn from my mistakes.

Never admit to something you didn't do just because someone is intimidating you. Stick to your guns and never give in.
