What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
There are a two pieces of advice that I’ve been given in life. One I received at a young age and the other later in life. They are both equally great advice.
When I as about 14 I distinctly remember my Father saying to me “fool me once shame on you; fool me twice shame on me.” Don’t ever trust anyone after they have screwed you over, if you do you are the fool. If people are doing you dirty, don’t give a change to do it again.
The other is “Don’t fall into the blame trap.” It results in depression . The number one rule – is to never blame people for how you feel, think or act.
