Life The most important one-sentence piece of advice you've ever received. - Page 9

One sentence. Sometimes it's hysterical, irrelevent, or whatever.

It lingered in you, and it shapes who you are most days.

Share it with us, so that we too may swim in its terse wisdom.

If you aren't in bed by 10pm you might as well put your pants on and go home.

Brings to mind "That looks like a soup sandwich", or "you could mess up buttered bread".

If it is to be, it is up to me.

If you want nice things, keep what you have nice.

The QBs in the next year's draft are always better.

Promises mean everything, but after they are broken, sorry means nothing. Keep your promises.

A loyal customer is very hard to get and very easy to lose. Take care of them and don't take them for granted.

On the lighter side: Never pee on an electric fence!

Don't waste energy worrying about the things you can't control, focus on the things you can. (Something I have to tell myself at least once a week at work.)

Failure to pay attention to detail can get you killed.

Make the most of your opportunities.

In life it's usually not 'what' decision to make, but when.

Quite a few problems can be solved with one solid punch underneath the nose.

Lying on your deathbed, are you really going to say " I wished I'd have spent more time at work?"

Be the leader you wished you had.

It's only a temporary situation.

Or Lying on your deathbed, are you really going to say "I wish I had spent less time with the people I love and worked more."

There is nothing more important than family take the time and take care of them.
