Grandpa said:





If your house burns down, you can build another. If you lose all your money you can go and earn more. But if you lose your good word... if people stop believing you... then you're done in this life. Always keep your promises and never lie.What's the best piece of practical advice anyone ever gave you when you were a young adult?
make do with what you've got
you are what you choose to be---(this doesn't refer to your job)
From my grandfather when I was a teen girl:





First you get a college degree


Then you start your career


Then you get married


Then you have kids


... and don't ever give up your paycheck power!
My Grandmother told me....


Life is about choices every choice you make will effect your life in one way or another.


That is the truest thing that I have ever heard.
If you want to achieve something in life remember that it will only benefit you...so you know what you are doing...either going off to graduatng form college or doing nothing with your life and dropping out...and i guess this helped me out cus now I would be graduating with the highest honors someone can get!...lol
always be honest, loyal, and true.....in your life, career, and marriage....
