To give my heart and life to the Lord and he would give me everything I need, maybe not everything I want but He would fill my needs. Also another piece of advice given was to live my life to the fullest and be thankfull as you never know what tomorrow will hold. I find both of these are very true.

i always like meeting new people - why avoid it? If don't meet that random person as you're moving through life, you'll never know if you could've made them laugh..." - said to me while wandering through a Home Depot, shopping with a friend named Chad.

It wasn't offered as advice, but I took it as such, because it felt good and healthy to look at the people around me in such a way. Chad would have a kind word or a witty comment to make towards anyone around him, as we went through the store and others places. We were buying supplies to rebuild my deck, some of which were lag bolts and galvanized nuts. As we were being rung up, he told the cashier lady that we had nine galavanized nuts. Then, with a gleam in his eye, he said, "Boy... Imagine that creature. I'd hate to run into a monster with nine galvanized nuts...!" The cashier doubled up and couldn't speak for a while; you could tell she was going to go home to a boyfriend/husband/family, and  relate the day's best joke to them.

Live your life without regrets. If you want something, go after it.  Don't  waste a good life by looking back on the things you should or shouldn't have done.

I'm sure people have given me lots of good advice before, but more often than not I don't pay attention…

That if you don't want the stress created by procrastinating, actually do the thing right off. There is less energy involved in getting it done then worrying over it. Sounds like no duh? But it really worked for me.  Oh and yeah, put the dental floss in the shower and make a habit of flossing your teeth when you take a shower. That little bit of advice really worked wonders.

I have no idea. It's 7:18 AM and the only thing that comes to mind is that line in Alice in Wonderland where Alice says, "I give myself very good advice but I very seldom follow it." I've had Alice on the brain lately.

I've gotta say my colleague and friend, Bill Shakespeare who told me "to thine own self be true." Thanks, Billy! Don't take any wooden nickels, you wacky Brit! See you  in the office.

(I really like this question. . .)

Probably something simple like Believe in yourself at all times, and not to take anybody's opinion of you too seriously beyond what you think of you. . .I also love George Burns' advice to actors. . .something like "Sincerity is the true key to acting - and once you can fake that, you've got everything. . ." I think there's a lot of wisdom there. .

Simple: "When it comes to money, never loan it, never lose it, but most importantly, never borrow it." Now, if I could have taken heed many years ago, I'd be doing really well right now.

I don't think I've ever been given some advice, and if I have I can't remember what it was.

I took an acting course one time and the Prof. told me to stick to writing. I took it as a general assessment of my abilities and where they  should be focused.

Date the person AT LEAST two years before you make any commitment to marriage, so sayeth my mother. She's right though. Anyone I know who didn't wait the two years didn't last.

Try for whatever it is you desire, and you can make it happen. Kinda cheesy,  I know, but it is something that means the world to me.

Thirteen years a ago a friend said to me, "You really shouldn't marry Ken... Now, tell me about this man, Dan, that you work with. He seems like a nice guy..." I ditched Ken 2 weeks later and married Dan 3 months later.
