    Do not ever start smoking, no matter what; you will not be able to stop when you want to, and it will likely kill you.

    That's all I feel any child or adult should do. No matter the age, no matter the mind. Living is the best gift we can get.

    "Shit happens in life, it's how you play it that counts. Learn to speak the truth when you see it and not twist it. Forgive yourself and others,ask yourself what you have learnt and move on, but most of all believe in yourself and your ability to be some one".

    As we know there are so many life changing situations up head.
    So many people can give the wrong advice as every one will have had different experiences.
    Teach children how to see the meaning of certain life changes/situations for their age,rather than have them fill their minds with emotional adult issues. And most of all don't dictate to your children, ask them how they'er feeling about things and talk with them about it. My child is just about to move out and take on the world for the first time without me. The above "advice" has been our foundation for this transition, i know she'l be fine. Me... i'm not so sure,lol.
    Hope this helps!

    Talent is overrated. Ambition and practise is all. When you decide that something you want to be is exciting, don't worry if you're good at it. Just start practising constantly for 10 years. Be confident, be persistent, and enjoy yourself.

    You can be anything you want to be, if you can choose just one thing.

    I am truly grateful, and pleased for the giving reply to this question, and as usual, so many interesting answers, great work!

    The best, and really only true advice I can give to you my beautiful, trusting child, is that no matter what you do, or where you may go, always do everything one can to complete their personal understand of life. I am not speaking so much about the why we are here's and what's our purpose empuzzlements, because with this advice that should come as well. No, rather I'm speaking toward that understanding regarding those things with-in your every waking moment.

    This comes in effect, and affect to our placement through understanding ourselves, as well as all others with our best ability, and then, at least we know we've done our best in the life we were given, with those things that were best for all.

    Take for example the many times I have asked you to do something that you really didn't wish to do? Remember how it always seem stupid, or unnecessary at the time until I have explained it to you? Well, just as here, life will always be better and easier for you to accomplish through it's understanding, instead from one yelling out, DON'T YOU TALK BACK TO ME, YOU DO IT BECAUSE I SAID SO, right? Now, It also wasn't until you cane to understand what thunder and lightning truly was, before you could sit and admire it's wonderment and beauty, right? Once you understood how to respect the dangers of it's incredible power, you have never again ran away like in the past to hide in fear of it.

    So, if understanding can always be at the forefront of mind, with all that comes, and unto all those you encounter, life's experiences will be in the most part, those you can live with-in the surest of confidences, the greatest in ease, and surely to bring you just as much benefit into it as one will then receive. Now, can you understand that my beautiful child?

    I would give, and have given this advice to the young many, many times, Well, really I should profess that it was something such as this given to them, but that given was in contents all true unto the same elements, ideals, and importance to all stated here. It just came in simpler form, you know, without all the little embellished, prose-like elements that little children get lost with-in, nor can appreciate yet, but have been granted unto those here for better reading understanding, and hoping pleasure! Understand? Hee hee So anyhoosby, off you go now, and so do I, onward and forward together, and as it’s done, I do wish upon us all, an easy and fulfilling understanding, to everything and all encountered in life!, and PEACE!
