What goe up comes down
Nothing lasts forever. If you think you'll be riding that "high" forever, you will be in for a big surprise. The exact opposite is true. What goes down, will surely come up. What is lost will be found. How can you not be happy forever with that advice!

For every action, both positive and negative, there are consequences, both positive and negative. What you do with those actions and consequences are what shape you as a person. We are the sum of our choices big and small. How we handle this will either give us heaven or hell on earth, it is our choice.

I don't remember her exact words, but my mother always used to say "make sure you learn how to take care of yourself, don't let anyone, man or woman, 'take care' of you."

In so many words, she was trying to say be independent.
The last time she said this to me, she died about 3 weeks later.
She was a very wise woman.

Don't be afraid of change. Embrace the unknown.

Don't ever fuck with anyone crazier then you are and always be the craziest person in the room. Sure she was drunk, but it was still good advice....

Credit is a good one. I have explained to my kids how it works - no one ever did for me. So is being independent, and the importance of education.

"Do what you love and the money will follow" is something I've told my kids over the years when they've asked what they should be when they grow up.
