Not that she told me directly, but what I observed from my mom was that she never sweated over small stuff. My advice. Never be bitter, aint worth it.

Dad: Any girl you know shame will not allow you to

show to your friends in the afternoon, don't play with

her at night.

Mum.When you take a walk and you hit your head on a wall

then you will know there is no road there. Learn from your mistakes.

Dad ALWAYS said:  " Say what you mean, and mean what you say" , Great advice that has enabled me to be a confident and trusted leader in the workplace.

From Mom: "Successful people have good relationships with their family."
                             "Strife will hinder yor blessings, Stay out of strife and forgive"
                           and the most practical advice for me as a married woman,
              [center]"Never buy anything as married woman that you could not afford if you suddenly became single"[/center]

late Mum (especially immediately she has just given me money): "I would advise you to take it to the bank and deposit it".

Dad: "There is no harm in trial"

Dad's own has accustomised me to worry least about failures when I adventure.

I will always appreciate my Mum for who she is and the kind of advice she always give to me.


Mum will always tell me that always remember the son of who you are
(ranti omo eni ti iwo se)
My mum will always tell me to be focus and never be illiterate so as to become somebody in future.


Dad : though we never got the time to sit me down or talk to me because he is always keep things to himself
but anytime i misbehave he will shout and tell me that why cant i make use of my initiative

Re: What's The Best Advice Your Parents Ever Gave You? by Nobody: 7:36am On Sep 07, 2010
When I graduated my father told me " I have brought you this far, now you are on your own" Hmmm, Daddy refused to be a fall back plan, i had to work hard and build everything with my own hands and it was hard I thought he was wicked because all it would have taken was a note from him to any organization i wanted to work, what was worse then was that he was getting jobs for other peoples children but not us. he let all of us find our own way in the world and we did. And I am the better for it, it thought me to be humble, to work very hard to be independent and to be nice
