Spring makes me walk a little slower, smile a little brighter and be a little more thankful. I know it’s pathetic that it takes warm weather for me to reflect on all of the wonderful things in my life. But, when it’s cold outside, I’m just thankful I’m indoors and not living in North Dakota.
Sitting in 70-degree weather (jealous, much?), sipping my diet soda in Piedmont Park this afternoon, I started thinking about all of the advice I’ve given/received from people throughout the years. Some of it’s been good and some of it’s been bad…really bad. So, in honor of the warm weather, I’m posting the ten best pieces of wisdom people have given me throughout the years:
Pick your battles. Not every fight is worth fighting. – Apparently that’s key to a successful marriage judging by my parents.
A simple smile can make all the difference in someone’s day. – This one holds true for me. When I’m in a bad mood, someone smiling at me can pull right out of it.
Do your best, even if nobody’s watching.
Learn something from every mistake you make in life – even if it’s not to make the same mistake again.
At work, never say, “That’s not my job.” – I learned that one the hard way!
Few boys (or girls) are worth your worries or tears – Still trying to work on that one.
Always tell the ones you love how you feel – this time might be your last.
The words “I’m sorry” can go a very long way.
Be who you are and make no excuses.
The best quality a friend can have is the ability to listen.
