Question: What is the wisest thing anyone has ever said to you!?
My grandpa once told me, "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got!."

That basically means, you can't keep doing the same things expecting to get better results the next time around; you have to change the way you do things to better yourself!.

Any words of wisdom you'd like to share!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

My father's words!.!.!.
Let's just say, I used to have a personality problem, I don't make friends and I rarely go out!. I think that I am a cut above the rest, which is of course very negative and very selfish and very vain of me!. Just before he died he told me something I never coul forget!. He said, "Sophie, remember, you are just another being, the world may exist without you but you cannot exist without the world!. The things you do now and the things you have will fade, You are missing the most important part of life!. Try living with it now"!. At first I was dumbfounded but I realized just how accurate he was!. It took me some time but I eventually digest his words and had a change of perspective!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
