What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?

I'm looking for a little bit of guidance in my life right now, I'm struggling with some choices I've made.


I'm about to go off to college away from home and I need to find my footing and more importantly myself.


Thanks!!What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?
I'm a Junior on college now and the best advice I can give you is not to give up. No matter what life may throw you. College can be a really tough time especially away from home.What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?
It was really kind of an off-hand statement:


';It comes in waves.';





Over time, I've kind of adopted that as my philosophy.


Periods in life of depression, of happiness, of excitement, of tedium,


they all come in waves.


You just gotta know every wave is gonna break, for better or for worse,


and you learn to ride the waves as they come.


You're going to have plenty of experiences, and even if they're bad ones, you can at least get something out of it. Life's about making somewhat with what you get. Don't throw anything, from a great date to a miserable weekend, away.
Well I used to live my life with the dream, that one day I would meet an amazing girl and be in the perfect relationship, I thought that I would magically be able to commit and not have a relationship fall apart for once. I was talking to my soon to be girlfriend, about how depressed I was that i haven't found her yet. And she said the only meaningful thing that I have ever heard come from her mouth(she was terribly shallow and one dimensional) She was like '; Are you sure you're ready to meet her?'; I sat down and I realized I wasn't, I was pretty much the worst boyfriend ever... and if I met that perfect girl then, our relationship wouldn't have gotten anywhere, because I wasn't ready to handle the prospect of a mature relationship. So in conclusion, I wasn't yet mature enough to meet that perfect girl.
i've gathered advice over the years. mostly the only advice my parents ever gave me was to never do something that you aren't willing to take the consequences of that action (or inaction). and it wasn't by words that they imparted this on me. us kids would get into messes and they wouldn't help us. they just said it wasn't their business. so we bled, we fought, and we learned from our mistakes and got our life lessons.


life isn't all bunnies and roses. don't expect anything to be easy but don't make stuff harder than it needs to be either. just live it the best you can and in doing your best, well, no one can ever ask more of you than that.
I did an internship at a law firm last summer for college. Having gotten to sit through many trials, I became shocked by the inhumanity of the courtroom proceedings. After confiding in one of the lawyers I worked for, she told me, ';Remember, its a legal system, not a justice system.'; That's when I decided I didn't want to be a lawyer anymore.
Always finish what you start. I.D.A. stands for initiative, determination and achievement, always strive for I.D.A.. You could empty a lake through a straw, so whatever your goal, however great, have aim and keep a steady course, accept all the challenges. Just point that straw in the right direction. Also, no matter how hard it gets, always be kind to your fellow man.
Toot your own horn because no one else will do it for you.





My god has that led me down so many paths from not caring what others think of my, to finding my own way, to major self esteem boosts, to not being disappointed in others, to........
Focus and take action. Do something. Afterwards you may realize that you have done the wrong thing. But use the experience the next time around. Doing something is better than doing nothing.
Do not talk without any material justification. It will add to you personality and you will be regarded as a good person. good luck
2 pieces:





If you're going to make mistakes...at least make them your own, and not for someone else.





Also, don't believe everything you hear.
Leave yourself an out---I've often thought of that saying and use it in many aspects of my life.
