Pass it on

I've been thinking about advice lately. How often it's given, and how rarely it's taken to heart. It's strange how easily we can brush it aside or let it impact every decision we make based solely on the mouth that spoke it. It's especially mind boggling how one person can tell you something that makes no sense and then someone else can offer you the exact same thing and it all of a sudden becomes the best thing you've ever heard. Is it favoritism? Ignorance? or just plain stupidity?

Well anyways I've decided to compile a list of 10 good pieces of advice I've been given. You can take it or leave it, it really makes no difference to me.


1. Never, ever cut your own bangs

2. Don't by your books at the bookstore

3. Always pay your tithing first, the lord will take care of the rest

4. Boys are like buses, if you miss one there's a next one coming

5. If it's free, remember you're getting what you paid for.

6. Always, Always, Always forgive

7. Never test the water with both feet

8. Before criticizing someone you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

9. Whenever making an important decision include the lord, two heads is better then one.

10. The only thing to do with good advice it to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.
