What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
I’ve tried to think of any advice I got, never mind the best piece of advice, and I’m finding it hard to come up with anything.
Maybe it’s because I’ve never listened to advice, preferring to make my own decisions whether right or wrong.
I didn’t have grandparents growing up, unlike my 4 grandchildren, whom I am constantly giving advice. A bit ironic.
I left home at 16. One reason being that my father advised me that going out with a Protestant was a bad decision. Definitely glad I didn’t take that advice as I married that Protestant 54 years ago.
I was quite feisty in my youth and being independent at an early age meant that I could fend for myself.
As I’m writing I’m still trying to think of a piece of the best piece of advice I’ve received.
The only thing I can come up with is that a lecturer on one of the many courses I have attended said ‘ Prioritise your tasks, work through them and you’ll get there feeling calm and relaxed.’
