The smartest person I met was my old boss Roy Wilson. He was a biochemist and ex-Naval Commander. He taught me alot about runnning business and he did it with such ease and grace. I worked under him for over 15 years until he passed away. I have never met anyone like him again. (Rest in peace Roy..I still love you) He was the Father I wished I had had...

Best piece of advice I ever got.  Rely on yourself and no one else.\n\n  Doesn't mean not to form relationships, just means always be able to take care of yourself and not be a burden on others.\n\n  My wife and I have worked for everything we have.  We haven't been handed a thing from anybody.  No trust funds, no inheritances or any other handouts.  We're not rich, but we live pretty well.  And we owe it to no one but ourselves.\n\n  Best piece of advice on living I ever had.....

Good question. I'm actually the sort of person who is terrific at giving out advice but very poor at taking it. Like my intuition, my own advice to myself tends to get clouded when strong emotions are involved. So I'm actually better off seeking advice from elsewhere (invariably my younger brother who somehow ended up wiser than me). Honestly, I think by definition the best advice comes from outside the self. Sometimes we just don't know what's good for us and it takes an outside perspective to clue us in.

Always remember that the greatest irony of wisdom is that it's accrued almost entirely through stupidity, so all the great thinkers in life had to screw up much more than your average person to accumulate the wisdom of the ages.  So long as you're learning from your mistakes, they can be a very positive thing for you to have since it gives you a much more thorough perspective of matters than succeeding easily would.\n\nTo quote (loosely) Thomas Edison after several weeks of searching for a way to make the lightbulb and testing thousands upon thousands of options for creating one, and having them all end up not working:\n\n"I didn't fail, I found 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb; I only need to find one way to make it work."\n\nJust consider this a good start down the road to that lightbulb moment when things finally lock into place for you!

From my grand-dad:\n\nBut the greatest bit of wisdom that he ever told,\nWas how to judge a woman, before she grew too old,\n'Before you wed a woman', he said with quite a shudder,\n'Stand back and have a bloody good look - not at her - her mother'.

Never walk when you can ride. Never ride when you can fly. Never fly when you can stay in your rack. \n\nKeep as much metal between you and the enemy as you can. \n\nJust advice from an old soldier.

I like these:\n\nGreat opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us daily. - Sally Koch\n\nWisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it. - David Star Jordan\n\nIf you plan for one year, plant rice.
