One best piece of advice you received, can give

Alfred: Why do we fall, Master Wayne? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.



It comes in handy when you fail

 

It was his father that said that. Not Alfred.

 

cool

 

another great one! that would be learing to forgive ourselves.

 

Before telling God how big your problems are, you might instead tell your problems how big God is.

 

There's a reason why you have 2 ears and one mouth... You should listen twice as much as you talk.

 

+1. Always keep your word.


Also, a good bit of advice is to try everything once except suicide, vasectomy, and lobotomy.

 

Something everyone has received in their email for years. But is fitting for this thread.

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours
in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 Beers!!

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in
front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large
and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He
then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the
jar He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas
between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was
full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the
jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured
the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space
between the sand. The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to
recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the
important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends
and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only
they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house
and your car.

The sand is everything else---the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into
the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the
golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and
energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that
are important to you.


'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend
time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with
grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to
dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house
and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things
that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer
represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'

The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.'


I would also say, Forgive and forget. Life's too short to hold grudges. Although it seems as I forgive so many, some fail to forgive me. At least very hesitant too even though I've always been the most honest and trustworthy friend they've had.

 

I used to love listening to my grandpa tell stories about his life. His life was very interesting, but if there's advice in it, I'd say this:

Shut up and listen to your elders. They've seen and done a lot, and their advice can serve you well.

 

The three little sentences that will get you through life. Number 1: Cover for me. Number 2: Oh, good idea, Boss! Number 3: It was like that when I got here.

 

"its not speed that kills, but the sudden stop... "
- one of my nephews said this to me when he almost got into an accident and i was passenger in the car. But i think he got it from some where.

The more you live, the less you die.
- what i tell everyone i know...

 

'don't take any wooden nickels' is what my grandfather said back in the day

 

it's etc.... LOL!

I had to look swingeing up. Apparently it means "punishing badly".......D'oh!

oh, yeah......"Don't sweat the small stuff!"

 

If something goes wrong at the plant, blame the guy who can't speak English.

 

Surround yourself with people who have the successes or the lifestyle that you want to achieve.

 

This one was said to me by a fellow racers who has won multiple national championships on karting. He was working with me one day and told me " Race your own race, dont worry about others. Always work on getting better and eventually one day without knowing it, you will be faster than everyone else." I know he was saying in regards to racing, but it made sense in your everyday life.

 

Strong!

 

It's better to regret something you have done, than something you haven't

 

If you want to know what a woman is going to look like in 25 years, look at her mother.

And,

You never know who you're going to fall in love with.

 

Alfred says it later on, after he gets burned by the Scarecrow

 

Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It’s what separates us from the animals! Except the weasel.

 

Still wrong.

Alfred quotes it after saving Bruce from the fire that destroys Wayne Manor started by Ras al'Goul.

 

Regarding your children: Anyone can be a father but it takes someone special to be a dad......strive to be special.

 

I've been living (job life) under this statement. Happy indeed... not really rich though.

"When self interest is defined in terms of what kind of work we are doing, and the kind of contribution
we are making,... pay is much less of an issue"

and one from those BMW short films released a few years ago

"There's always something waiting at the end of the road,
if you are not willing to see what it is,
you probably shouldn't be out there in the first place"

* I apologize if any grammar or spelling mistakes whilst English ain't my first language.

 

That's a poor one.

I regret not taking that chance to be lead on that project last year. I regret killing that man. You can regret too many things for that line to be useful.
