WellDressed Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I'm sure this was coined long ago, but I never forgot this one, though I've never used it- "Chuck, as an actor, you're a great student, and as a student, your a great actor." -Charles S. Stamm oh wait......now that's not really advice, is it??....... I never listen to it anyway.

The Dean Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Once, starting my first night bartending at a new restaurant, the manager gave me some advice just before leaving for the night. It's good advice that I have passed along to others along the way. He came up to me and said: "Don't fu#k up!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 From Steven Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People": Seek first to understand, then to be understood. It started out as a tremendous sales tool, and easily became a powerful habit I use in virtually all relationships. Except with dumbasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Once, starting my first night bartending at a new restaurant, the manager gave me some advice just before leaving for the night. It's good advice that I have passed along to others along the way. He came up to me and said: "Don't fu#k up!" I've heard this before with the addendum, "but if you do... !@#$ up BIG!" As to the thread topic, the best I've received and, in turn, given was, "Put her in your rearview mirror and make her get smaller." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Don't where you eat. I learned that on my own. The hard way. Same here... But, I never got "beaver fever" (giardia). I guess I listened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTS Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 "Don't ever look back and always act like you belong." - A good friend of mine and former boss on how to get what you want or to get into where you probably shouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 When I was six, my imaginary friend, Dr. Lefoffelif, said to me, "you are a sensitive boy and no matter what you do in this lifetime you will always be paralyzed with self-doubt." I wanted to ask him what he meant by this, but he got a restraining order against me and I was not allowed within 200 yards of him. Seriously though, the best advise ever (from my Dad): If you ever get into trouble, don't tell the cops ANYTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
