Good Advice^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^When i was fairly young my dad sat me down and told me that I wasnt special and no one cared about me and when a person dies only 5-10 people will be truly devastated by it.
It sounds like crappy advice but as he went on to explain the world doesnt revolve around you and no one owes you anything so suck it up and make your own way.
I told my two nieces as they were growing up: If you think you want to do something, think about your Aunt Weezie....if you think I would do it, then you do the opposite, and you will be fine!My dad taught me a lot of things by example, though likely not the way he intended. When I find myself in a situation I don't know how to handle, I ask myself what the old man would do, then do the opposite. It won't always be the right thing, but it definitely won't be the shit show he would've conjured.
My dad had all kinds of one liners. I’ll have to reply to this thread a few times. No matter how good looking she is if she has an Adam’s apple you don’t want to go out with her.

Reminds me of when I was headed to my first training school in Monterrey. Called the old man from a pay phone in the airport on a layover and asked “you got any advice for me on my first duty station?” He said “Where are you calling from”. “The San Francisco airport” I answered.
“Yeah, don’t fall asleep in the airport with your mouth open.” He said and hung up the phone.
