Life is filled with those who have already been down the road you’re traveling, who can tell you a thing or two. They have the tee shirt and the hat, and there’s no one better to take advice from than someone who has had experience and are sound in wisdom.

TAKE MY ADVICE If you can't give it, It don't lend it. Can't save it, don't spend it. Can't take it, don't dish it. Can't believe for it, don't wish it. If you can't brave it, don't fight it. Can't swallow, don't bite it. Can't beat it, wait it out. Hate will faulter before love gives out. Can’t deny it, then admit it, Bad habit? Just quit it, Got a friendship, don’t forsake it, Make a vow, don’t break it. Can’t fit it? Don’t wear it, Got a secret? Don’t share it. And by all means do not repeat, another man's matter in the street. For you won’t find a bit of humor, when you’re found to be the one starting the rumor. Take my advice
