Mine was a real stickler for obeying the rules.

He was never short of a suggestion or two.

Have you benefited from your Dad´s advice?
 
my dad always told me if your no fast your last (a scotsman lol)
and the other thing was you can only rely on yourself in this day and age and yes i have benefited from my dads advice because im very independent now and very competitive in a good way
 
well usually my dads advice is like hes always right and bla and he has more expericne

but one advice i like was
''live your life as if you'll die 2moro/or live it knowing theres the next life'' and if i live my life as if im going to live it forever then hell .u wont suceed

^_^ its so true as well!
 
My father believes that if you have to buy something and put it on a credit card, do not use that card again until you pay it off. And try to pay it off as quickly as possible.

And above all, don't buy things you really don't need. If you are questioning a purchase, odds are, you don't need it.

I have definitely benefited from his advice. We have an excellent credit rating, don't make unnecessary purchases and can live without the latest version of the hot gadget.
 
my dad taught me that i always had to stand on my 2 feet and if i ever got stuck he would always be there to help me but i always had to make my own choices

There is no such thing as a free lunch!

in other words there is some sort of price to pay
 
He advised me to to learn a Trade of which i did, the motor trade...While ever you have a trade you will never be out of work....True very true.....
 
My actual Dad's best advice was to never date a matelot - for those of you who don't know, that's a navyman.

Dad's advice here - the best I ever had was to actual read the CGs, it was the best night in of my life :)
 
Two things that stick in my mind.

The first was that loyalty and respect have to be earned and aren't just due to people because they're a boss or superior in some way.

The second was 'Don't Waste Alcohol'. And he didn't.

And I have benefited from both of those pieces of advice.
 
My dad told me that I should always pay for my rounds in a bar. Never allow people to say that you do not pay your way.
 
Don't ever think that anyone is better than you...ever. You are just as good as anyone else. Just be yourself!!! That was his best advice to me!!! Oh and don't pour turkey fat down the sink while running cold water...lol
 
My dad told me some woman don't like to go through the process of building a home but would rather step into one that has already being established. In other words don't mess around in my marriage.
 
Make sure you always have a dime in your pocket to make a phone call... Of course that was when we had to use pay phones, before cell phones and a dime would cover it, and calling collect was for emergencies.
 
yes, he taught me to always be polite to others

Thank you for asking this question
Mrs GC
 
the only woman that will ever be nice to you is your mum.
and its been true all along.
 
"You've just got to get on with it."

I remind myself of that whenever I feel discouraged, tired or fed up. Dad was a hard worker and never let anything slow him down. And that was his philopsophy.
