The best advice I've ever gotten is that you souldn't run your mouth off just to hear yourself talk, because others will get sick of it! p.s.-This I do not do, I just have friends who do. :-)

..."Walk it off" Yeah, school nurse, way to be nurturing. (I am not even kidding. I hurt my ankle and had to have someone walk me to the nurses office and that is what she said.) That would fall under the category of "worst."

Best: That Newton's Third Law also applies to human interactions. (For every human action, there is an equal and opposite reaction from other people.) So before you do anything, figure out what the reaction is going to be. And in any situation--to any stimulus--do the minimum necessary response, to avoid building up the reactions against you. Because sometimes you'll get an equal-but-opposite reaction from a dozen different people, or the same person will react against you a hundred times for the same action.

An old Cherokee mentor once told me that nothing happens until you do something so get off your butt and do something, I am paraphrasing. Don't sweat the small stuff. Take care of the details and the big stuff will take care of itself.

"Trusting another person is not a function of how trustworthy they are, but how much you trust yourself to deal with their imperfections." This was posted on another forum a used to visit.

Never date within your circle of friends. The only person you can truely count on is yourself. You don't need anyone to validate your existance. Beauty fades, but stupid lasts forever. You are the holder of your destiny. Scratch a liar, find a theif (yes from the movie Ray, but it was damn good advice and stuck with me since I watched it). Always leave a little to the imagination, nothing wrong with being a little mysterious.

There's lots of best advice, but right now I think that it's knowledge is power. The more you know the better decisions you can make, and the better you'll do. There is so much to know, and learn as much as you can. You'll have more options this way, because you are aware of them all. Also, it's better to be safe than sorry. Don't worry about people's judgments. If you're more worried about how people will feel about you for doing this thing, than making the situation right- you should rethink your stance in life. Nothing is worth not doing the right thing, so someone isn't mad at you.

Usually, if you can learn to be happy with nothing and stop seeking happiness from outside things, and most of those same things you used to think you needed in order to be happy will usually come to you on their own. And even if they don't, you'll still be better off. I try to follow that advice myself every day, and I think that just about anyone could benefit somewhat from doing the same.

My mom is a gold mine of terrible advice. The most recent piece I got was this : "You don't have to rush to get all your college applications done, we'll just go visit them all and then you can think about it for a while and apply to just your favorite." ... My jaw hit the floor. I told her thanks, but that was the worst idea I ever heard. Good thing I didn't listen!

The best actually came from a song. "The world won't change just because you complain." The worst was right after I got out of a relationship, everyone told me to go sleep with someone else and that it would help me get over him. Didn't sound legit, so I avoided that.
