Quotes and Advice
Well, i have the attention span of someone who doesn't have much of an attention span. I asked for some quotes/pieces of advice which i was going to incorporate into my autobiography, and since I got bored with that, whoever reads this, midaswell take advantage of the things which were told to me.
So here goes. If you see it and recognize your own, this is kind of my tribute to your words for the rest of the (Internet) world to see.
For reasons of responsibility and by my word, I said that i would not credit those for their contribution. If you would like some credit, post a comment about your saying, and if you'd like to justify it, write your name so you get that credit. All i've done here, is play messenger, and taken some of the best words i have received, and given them to those who might not have heard them before.
*Here goes, the list starts... now*
"don't get involved with someone who has a more screwed life or more problems than you have."
side note: and i guess if you think about it - if you ever live with that mantra then that means that you're the one who is more fucked up than your partner. and having said that...you have to then find someone who doesn't live by this quote.
"Do on to others as you would have them do on to you."
*Dirty says* - makes sense no?
"There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but few will capture your heart, these are the things to persue, these are the things worth treasuring."
"I expect to pass through this world only once, so any kindness I can show, or goodness I can do, let me do now, for I shall not pass this way again."
"There are two ways of dealing with difficulty, you alter the difficulty, or you alter yourself to meet the difficulty. (Change the situation, or change your attitude toward the situation)"
*Dirty says* - Not too many people will take responsibilty for the situation they have put themselves in. I'm one of of those.
"If you never attempt more than what you have already mastered, you will never grow."
"Every event of every day, you have a choice, regardless of the event, you have an opportunity to learn from it, grow from it, and become better because of it."
"Every moment of every day you make a choice as to whether to be happy or not. Accept all hardships, you are not alone in them. Everyone falls on hard times, but your true character and strength comes out, not when all is well, but when you are faced with adversity."
*Dirty says* - this was sent to me, it hits home as it's true to the word.
"Life is far too important to be taken seriously. Why bother living if its not fun!!! If you screw up just laugh. Say for instance, you fall down some stairs at a party ... If you run away all embarrassed everyone will say ... what a loser ... but if you laugh ... everyone will laugh with you and it will be forgotten."
"1. Best way to get over someone (like a breakup of a realationship) is to get under someone (Have sex!! or get a new boo).
2. anybody can learn from their own mistakes. It is when you learn from other people's mistakes that is something. (can't really remember how that goes. But I am pretty close)
3. And this last one is from my parents, which they have been telling me from the dawn time (seems like). Because you're black "son" you have two strikes aganist you. Which means you have to work that much harder to get what you want out of life. A little side note... My sister has 3 strikes aganist her because she is a female."
"If you smell burnt almonds for no apparent reason, get out of the room, it's poison gas. Gaseous cyanide actually."
*Dirty says* - I'll give credit to Ben So for having saved your life on this one. It could happen.
"Curtis B, use your people skills, you are wonderful with people. Use that shit and you will get places."
*Dirty says* - Thanks Tara (under some kind of influence), I'm back in school for that reason. That comment helped solidify it.
"Dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listning, love like you have never been hurt, and do not let anyone make you feel inferior."
"Follow your heart, and let nobody make any decisions for you. Happiness is a heartbeat away from the actions that you are willing to take to get there and the willingness to sacrifice your pride, image, and what others think of you. A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step! As soon as you question why you are in a certain place, re-evaluate why you are there and conclude how to get out or stay in it. Ask yourself one question - IS IT WORTH IT?, if not get out as quickly as you can because misery is right around the corner."
*Dirty says* - strong words from a strong woman
"The best piece of advice I've got was probably here. One nite I was in the gym and one of the military instructors started chatting to me. He was basically giving me an inspirational talk. He was saying that if you are giving everything you got to what you want to do, and you fail, than that is just not your path in life. He said that it is never the end of the world and there is always something else calling you, maybe you just haven't found it yet. Anyways, he said it in much greater words, but it feels good to live by that."
*Dirty says* - words from some military guy to someone previously under the influence
"the best advice I have ever gotten was live each day to the fullest no mattter what...... you never know when it will be your last"
"the best thing i've learned in life is to live life to it's fullest, meaning live like you were dying. eveything that you've ever dreamed you would never do,do! live, love, learn....
don't knock it until you've tried it...remember green eggs and ham??? try it try it you will see..."
"Do you have enough stories to tell your grandkids when you are older...you don't want to tell them all the same ones do you?"
*Dirty says* - i think this is one of the best ones. my grandma tells the same stories over and over again.
That's it from what i've heard.
There's room for feedback on your best quotations/pieces of advice/words of wisdom.
Since i have relayed it, i get to add some. A quote i have made up (if unintentionally stolen, i apologize now) is:
Silence says more than any words can.
