Those Who Will Listen Will Learn
by Steve Goodier
Advice comes in all shapes and sizes. For instance, someone gave-
the sage advice: "If you dance with a grizzly bear, you had-
better let him lead." No argument here.
Or this, found in a fortune cookie: "You are a poor, pathetic,
gullible fool who seeks advice from bakery products."
Conrad Hilton, hotelier extraordinaire, was asked on national
television if he had one vital bit of advice for listeners.
"Please," he said, "place the curtain on the INSIDE of the tub."
It's been accurately said that there is a lot of advice available
for nothing, and most of it is worth about what we paid for it.
But here is sound guidance, from an unknown author, worth taking
to heart:
"If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart,
forgive; for that person has helped you learn about trust and the
importance of caution.
If someone loves you, love back unconditionally; that one is
teaching you to love.
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those
moments everything that you possibly can, for you may never be
able to experience them again.
Talk to people that you have never talked to before and
actually listen.
Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high.
Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself
you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you
don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe
in you.
You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life
and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
Most importantly, if you love others, tell them, for you never
know what may come tomorrow.
And learn a lesson in life each day you live.
Even some free advice can occasionally be of profit. Those who
listen will learn."
