    Awhile a go i was uptight about a matter i can't remember now and my friend said to me " give the other side the victory". A while ago my little boy was getting uptight and argumentative with his mum i asked him " to let it go" in effect i suppose " giving the other side the victory"

    Anyway i am sure our life exsperiences have allowed us both receive and give good advice. How about sharing.

    Awhile ago whilst watching T.V my wife started vacuming i suggested she by a broom. This resulted in a few days of not being spoken too. So i would like to add thete is " a time to speak and a time to shut-up"

    Live your life.

    Unfortunately, I didn't take the advice given. I do recommend others do.

    Best advise i learnt knocking doors was a householders wise words " i never toch the subject of religion. My beliefs are personal" And they may well of been but also i realised his belifes could easily have played a more active and positive role in his life than mine did in mine.

    Best advice I learned knocking on doors: " Don't ever do that again." I didn't take the advice given. I recommend others do.

    Beautiful Dreamer: A householder once said to me " I already have my paradise" he was referring to his home and also i am sure that he was living in the " NOW"

    I have really since leaving the W.T enjoyed living each day in the now. That is GREAT advice.
