None. They are VERY (times 1,0000) OLD school.
-
Remember that no-one else is better than you and that you are better than no-one else.

From Mom: "Let people be who they are." Keeping this mantra has spared me from being judgmental and cynical most of the time. From Dad: "Let your words reflect your values." That's a really hard one to live up to and a life path.
-
Unfortunately I never listened to any advice from them. I thought I knew it all. If I knew then what I know now..... Let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks their parents know nothing, they actually do and they are usually right.
-
concentrate seriously on your studies in school. education is the greatest wealth,no one can take away your knowledge.
-
"Don't screw up".

Give older people respect, act like a lady, continue to educate yourself, go to church, work hard but have some fun, my parents gave pretty good advice to me and I use their advice a lot.

"Never listen to my advice."

If your going to do something do it well and that electrical outlet is not a vending machine so stop trying to put that penny in the slots

The best advice my father has ever given me... "The key in life is proper communication. So much trouble can be avoided if you just know how to get your point across. Wars are started over simple misunderstandings. And to get by well in this life, you have to learn how to work with people." Sage advice, from the unemployed control freak who spends his day watching TV and fantasizing about killing his ex-boss.

Be nice.

"Stay in school, success is gained by an education". I've been following this advice, and will until my scholar studies end one day.

"Don't do drugs or I'll smack ya!" is a direct quote from my mother. It...kinda worked.

I think reminding me of the starving people in China/India etc , in order to get me to eat, actually helped, believe it or not, because I do voluntary aid work in INdonesia and assist in getting supplies to other countries in need. ( I still would have gladly given them my mother's cooking! lol)
