Don't hate the person, hate the action that the person does that is bad.


hmm, i can't remember the "worst" advice... prolly cause i tend to forget it anyway :-p


Perfect friends aren't really friends, cause no one is perfect.
flawed friends are Real friends, cause they know to accept you for your faults as well as when you accept theirs.

When a good friend abandons you they are niether good nor a friend. {Not advice I was given just something I thought up.}

Bad advice... Hmmm... I'll try and come up with something later...

Do not burn the candle at both ends, as rotten food tastes quite bad.




No really, I've never had any friends until I came here, living in isolation and all that... but now I'm happy amongst all of you :D that's all that matters.

Best advice I've ever been given:
"If you do something you love, you'll never work a day in your life."

Worst advice ever...:
"The best things in life are free." (They didn't have internet or HDTV when they came out with this one lol.)

My personal 'creed' is:
"A bone is just a bone.. Until two lions decide only one of them is walking away with it."


Kudos Apollo!

Best advice would be never to let go, always try over and over until you get it.

Worst one would be when people say try it, it won't hurt; somehow it never works.

And the Creed, well; Live without Regrets.

(as a result my ear fell out)

motto- generally, theyre far more afraid of me than i am of them.

Good exmaple of what people shouldn't do. Like those people who made the ''Don't stop this with your hands'' sticker be on chainsaws.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? Epicurus [341–270 B.C.] Greek philosopher

Best advice :

If you never had it, you wont miss it.

Worst advice :

If someone hits you, turn your cheeck, and let them hit you again (this people, is how you get a broken nose)

Creed :

A wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old age. Live life the way you want it to be lived, and not how you think it should be.
