Paco Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 This is kind of an offshoot from Pandora's random advice thread (which was funny, but nowhere near as good as Michael Layton's Random Beta thread) , but a little more on the serious side. What's the best advice you have ever received, either solicited or not? The best advice about life that I remember is a sign I saw in the locker room trying to get the soccer team pumped up for a championship game.

EWolfe Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I was thinking about joining the services in my younger days, and when I asked my father about it, he said: "Be prepared to lose your freedom for at least two years." I ended up not joining because of that statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_warfield Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 A variation on chelle's: You only live life once....but that's enough if you do it right. Ships are safe in the harbor, but that's not what they are made for. And then there's Pearl Jam: I know that I was born and I know that I'll die, but in between it's mine.
