And today we would like to know what is an important piece of advice or lesson you were taught as a child that has always stayed with you?

Entries due by midnight!!

Use your manners and always respect your elders!!

To always say please and thank you!! My nan said that it showed a good upbringing.......geeeeeee don't know what happened in my case then!!!!

Definitely another one for manners here!
I also remember having it instilled in me from a very young age the importance of spelling and correct grammar...and that has definitely stuck with me for life! (Thanks dad and papa!)
When I was young I used to check the spelling and punctuation on things like menus & promotional materials when we went out and then hand it back to them as we left with all the mistakes circled...although it wasn't always appreciated!

Yes I hate bad spelling on tshirts, signs etc. Bad spelling by people doesnt phase me at all but people get paid to do promos etc!!!???Any way off my soap box The biggest lesson I was taught as a child is to be happy with what you have. Thankfully I do that (OK there may be occasions when i dont BUTin general its how i live my life.)

I was going with manners aswell...

My mum was good at teaching me Self Respect. I think this helped keep me on the path I am on and no so much a 'follower' in my teen years.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This has definately has stuck with me the most!

My grandfather taught me this one "Sometimes you just gotta take the bull by the horns". In other words, sometimes when the risk is high, you still have to take the chance regardless of the outcome. This reminds me of another one by my dad, "If you never ever go, you will never ever know". which is about trying and doing new things. Another good one that Dad taught me was "It isn't what you know, it's whether or not you know where to go to find the answer!" He was trying to teach me that no one can know everything - but you can always find out.

Manners and respect were also very important.

dont lie as you will always be found out

I would have to say to have 'respect for authority'. I guess as a teacher this stands out a little more to me, but I'm sure we have all noticed a 'lack of respect' by some of the youth today. I know that I was always taught to talk respectfully to teachers, police, the elderly, etc.

"If you commit yourself to do something, give it your all and do it to the best of you ability." LOL I think that's why I'm such a perfectionist and a pain in the rear-end sometimes!
I agree with the manners and respect as well.

Good manners and if you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say anthing at all.... (this is often harder at work!)

the best peice of advice....KARMA(or what goes around, comes around) ! Do something bad, and you MIGHT get away with it for a bit, but karma will catch up with ya!
