“Don’t love anything that doesn’t love you back,
and the ARMY doesn’t love you. " ---The NCOIC
I have sense extended this advice to hate.
Silly, from Catbert on forming a relationship. "Give him a dead rat and say, “unlike this rat, my love for you will never die.”"

Good advise:
A teacher in college told me: "You can learn things from all people. You can learn what to do from the good ones and what not to do from the bad ones."
Good and bad being the relative terms used because I couldn't think of a better way to say it. But that was the gist of it.
Bad advise (well, I don't know that it was bad advise, I just don't know if it was good advise):
"Take the engineering scholarship. You can't make any money as a musician."

Best advice (from my parents): Learn to think for yourself.
Worst advice (from my peers): Singing is for sissies.
By ignoring my parents' good advice and following the bad advice of my schoolmates, I didn't discover the joys of singing until I was in college.

I recieved the worst advice from my grandmother and mother. My grandmother advised me to be a clergyperson..minister, preacher, whatever. Definitely not a priest. They were on the hellbound train. My mother advised me to be a dentist. Fortunately for the congregations that I would have bored silly and the dental patients down whose throats I would have dropped sharp dental tools, I didn't do either of those. It's a little hard for me to remember any good advice that anyone gave me, so here's a rule that I made up for myself. When you buy a candy bar at the corner store or somewhere, don't eat it on the way home. And don't stuff the whole thing in you mouth. When you get home, unwrap it carefully and eat it slowly.

Best advice: My old mom once said "People always give what they most need themselves"
Worst advice: What people give you that has value to them alone.
Silly advice: Anything that dosn't equally apply to goats.

Not exactly advice, but I think it's true:
- Pessimists are the happiest people because they are usually right, and they're delighted when they're wrong.
- Blessed is the man who expecteth little. Yea, yea, he shall not be disappointed.

It's funny, the best musical advice I got was from Gordon on the flute board. I said something like that my goal was to be a decent intermediate-level player, and he said don't limit yourself. More than once. So I shifted a few priorities, and now I'm a better player than was my goal just a couple of years ago. And now I don't just want to, I intend to be a really good player.Tyghress wrote: Good grief, that was boring wasn't it? How about this....my best and worst whistling advice...
Best: Enjoy your music! (Bless you, Lee...its the one I always come back to!)
Worst: You'll never be as good as the average Irish player, so don't even try.
