Be polite and say thank you when someone does something nice for you.

I have it written on a notelet stuck to my computer so I never forget it's a wonderful piece of advice that my nearest and dearest friend gave me when I first met him and I think it's a wonderful way of looking things, especially when things go wrong in your life. It's a simple phrase 'Out of bad comes good' every bad situation has a good side, like ying and yang, everything in life is balanced, so in every negative there is always a positive, you may not realize it at the time, but it is there, it is comforting and to me the best piece of advice I've ever had.

The best advice I have gotten is to choose your friend wisely and to be cognizant of the fact that not everyone is your friend. I used to be one of those naive people who thought that everyone had my best interest in mind and frankly that is not the case. I am more mature now and I have been through experiences that have shaped me for the better.

My best piece of advice was given to me by this world. I have faced many hardships in my life and I know that there are many more hurdles to cross.
The advice is: Live life to the fullest, Love what you have for there are times when you might have nothing, make others happy as there is no other feeling greater than the feeling you get after bringing a smile to someones face.
I think every person should follow such things and then may be the world will be a better place.

No matter how much other people, your friends or your family tell you that they will always be there for you --- at the end of the day, you only have yourself. So in whatever you do, you have to be accountable for it. If things go wrong, other people won't be there to pick you up. They may say that they will be there, but only to a certain extent. You owe it to yourself to live yourself.Ü
