alexasomba:

I've got a friend, we were in Secondary School when he lost his mom, being the only son she really did a lot to make him happy. He told me then that one phrase his mom used after shouting his name to call his attention especially when he is "busy" with his video games was "shey I'm calling you now and you're there playing your video game, okay o. Carry on." and those were the first set of words that got to him, when she passed on. He regretted not giving her enough of his time and attention, back then he told me "Alex, if my mom was alive now and called my name once I will answer and run to her a thousand times."

He asked me to pay attention to mine. I'm asking you to pay attention to yours.



If all these epistle was just for me, sorry but you are talking nyanyampu. I actually read this thrice to figure out what it has got to do with OP's post and is still all blabs and no substance that is of any use to me.

Foolish men go after women.

My dad gave me a very valuable advice: since you have started dating, make sure you don't promise any girl marriage. it worked wonders for me cause no girl ever said i deceived her.

Always be a good child and date a good and lovely woman who could be my future wife and as well as stand by me especially when it matters most. That everyone will go through some hard times at some point in life. I completely concur with her. This is very emotional anyway.

alexasomba: Before I left for the University my Mom said to me "always remember where you are coming from." sounded ordinary at first until it started influencing my decisions, till this very day based on those words I still think about family especially before making my long term decisions. It's almost as though she programmed my mind.

My Dad used parables a lot and one of them was "you can blame your parents for who you are but you cannot blame them for who you become" His own words rings like a bell in my head, telling me I'm to take responsibility for my own life.

They don't know how much their words impacted me though I'm (secretely) grateful.

Have you been given any good advice by your parent, grandparent, relative or anyone that mattered to you? Kindly share with us.
My dad told me not 2 bother so much abt my village girlfriend!Dat wen l get 2 school my mentality will change!lnfact,d mentality has changed many times!

After our engagement in 2010, my Dad called me aside and told me politely: "Don't even think about getting this girl pregnant before the white wedding. I don’t want any disgrace."
(Actually, the 'advice' took the form of a FRIENDLY WARNING)

Your comprehension is non existent if that epistle was actually ignited by the question OP asked in this thread, a lot of people you say? Nigerians are suckers for emotional balderdash, a million likes at least should be expected. You should have still written your epistle without quoting me,I still maintain that your 'out of point 'epistle is of no use to me, get over it.



Oh!!! I just realized you aren't even the dude that quoted me, if you needed that post to be obedient to your parents then you should go for a brain transplant.

My dad's advice was “ work hard, do what you believe is right, respect everyone at you place of work irrespective of age, be of good conduct and you can’t go wrong.”

Never knew these would be his last word of advice to me cry cry cry
