I can't remember that. They abound.
But I will welcome advice now on what to do about a sibling who is just bent on ruining your life but keeps telling people that e doesn't hate you or have ill feelings towards you. This same sibling that takes delight in shunning you interacts with others family members, and you see this person every day!

Respect rule 1
Re: What Is The Best Advice Someone Has Ever Given You ? by mrdino(m): 11:13pm On Jul 31, 2021
1. Do not place too much expectation on people, it's the root of hatred (you will hate them when they eventually disappoint you).

2. Do not enter into a relationship (even marriage) with too many expectations, be prepared to give than receive.

3. One of the easiest way to detect someone who possesses good leadership ability; they are fond of using (consciously or subconsciously) "we" instead of "I", when taking credit or blame.

4. To truly test a man's character, observe how he behaves around the following 3 things: money, power and sex.

5. With power/freedom comes a huge amount of responsibility.

6. Do not look for love, rather look for good virtues and let love find you.

Many valuable life lessons handed down from my mum.

Forget religion, she's a good person through and through. Many people around testify to that. Even strangers single her out to confide in her. She's a Mecca of some sort because people, women thronged our house just to seek her advice or thoughts on things. She's very kind and considerate. Many times, she cooks and never eats, she must have given out her portion and mine too severally. She knew she could convince me easily to let go. She was modest. In her lack, she was contended. Always seeing the good side of people and encourages them to be better. People bring their children to her for counseling. A great disciplinarian. She never suffer fools gladly. Her mannerisms, top notch - how you eat, talk, walk, body pose etc. She's an "all rounder" She is a great cook. She is an epitome of God's graciousness. If you ask me, I'd say she's a magician, creating something out of nothing.

Now, tell me how the child of such a woman will turn out?

I am my mother's daughter.

Among all the advice I have ever received majority of which I have forgotten tho, the one I will never forget is the one my female friend told me out of anger that I should stop talking jokingly or anyhow that I have authority in mouth since that day I examined myself and how I speak cos my words are powerful when I say them either jokingly or seriously they always come to pass and its after it comes to pass I usually recall.....
That's why I do avoid anything that gets me angry cos if I vex for somebody and bad words drop from my mouth it usually come to pass...

My Aunty was mocking for been unemployed for almost 4 years after graduation and she said cynically "If I were you, I will run to God for help, maybe giving your life to Christ will get you a job." You know what I took her advice, even though she was mocking me, but I took her advice and God did not disappoint me. I got a very good job 4 months later.


When I got my first car, my Dad called to find out how I was coping with driving in Lagos, since I had fear for driving! I told him, I could move the car forward only, I cant reverse! He said "Son! Forget about reverse! The more you move the car forward the easier the reverse will be!" Immediately he said that, something clicked in my spirit, This Is How Life Works! the more you pursue your dreams, the less difficult it is to overcome all the obstacles to your greatness!


3rd one! Before I started driving (Now I be 007 James Bond) I have gone to 3 different driving school, taught a million times by friends and family members for over years. So when my car came, I had finished one month driving lessons, paid for additional 2 weeks, was waiting for my instructor to come and carry me for training, when a friend said to me "boy if you don't practice what you have been taught at school on your own how will you master that course? We go to school to learn, we perfect what we have been taught on our own." That made a lot of sense to me. I got into my car, drove all by myself, from Lekki to Sangotedo, called my instructor, asked for a refund.
