What's the Best advice...

[Racks]

So what is the best piece of advice that you have received or heard before?

I 'll start... " People may be more talented than you but there is no excuse for anyone to work harder"

I only just heard this not long ago and it wasn't said to me directly but its true... Good motivation for an Gym enthusiast like myself.

Never set unrealistic goals for yourself, you'll either fail and be disappointed or try too hard and neglect other things.

[SIZE=+2] G[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]o placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.[/SIZE]
​

[SIZE=+2] I[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]f you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.[/SIZE]
​

[SIZE=+2] E[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]xercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.[/SIZE]
​

[SIZE=+2] N[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]urture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.[/SIZE]
​

[SIZE=+2] T[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]herefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.[/SIZE]

Just be yourself, try your best, and don't worry so much about what others think. So much of the cliche advice is good advice, but hard to uphold in this world.

A really neat quote they have displayed at my gym:

If a man knows not what harbor he seeks, no light can guide him.

That's some damn good advice.

A man should write for all he is worth, about what ever state he is in at the time, however little he knows about it. You can only stumble on poetic truth in the dark - in the light it is too easy to step round it.
