- If anyone ever refers to you as a "bad drunk" stop drinking immediately and never have another.
- Follow your dreams. (I saw what happened to him as a result of not following his).
- If you make a mistake, don't dwell on it - there's nothing that can be done to undo it, so learn from it and (hopefully) what you've learned will keep it from happening again.
- Â When I went off to college he advised me, "Don't knock anybody up." That's good advice too.
- Â Asking for help doesn't show weakness; it shows trust.
- Â Laugh at yourself. We are all ridiculous.
- My parents taught me by bad example that reading up on a major purchase is smarter than just listening to the salesman's advice.
- If you're going to do something stupid, don't get caught. But try not to do anything stupid.
- Treat everyone with respect until they demonstrate they don't deserve respect.
- If you can't turn around and effectively argue the other side's position, either you don't understand the argument or it's not worth arguing about.
- Be curious, and always keep learning.
- There's never a reason to lose your temper.
- Â What I had, I gave. What I kept is lost forever. Give 100%
